Awesome new Sonic game for Wii

[Crushed]

THAT'S OUR SEGA!

[TVC15]

Well, even taking Sonic's recent quality problems into account, at least this won't be as bad as Twilight Princess.

[MCD]

...

someone please put this poor thing out of it's misery

[Reb]

Sword fighting 1:1?

[Crushed]

"Hey guys, this is fit for a KING and it's got a lot of HEART! J/k, but what could it be?"

spoiler (click to show/hide)

"SONIC WITH A SWORD LOLZ"

[close]

Well, even taking Sonic's recent quality problems into account, at least this won't be as bad as Twilight Princess.

It won't be as bad as TP's "non-dungeon" sections, which were an insult to the rest of the series.

[cool breeze]

I thought this was Fire Emblem or Kingdom Hearts...why the fuck would NP tease this shit?

[Oblivion]

...

someone please put this poor thing out of it's misery

I agree, Sega needs to be taken out back and Old Yeller'd.

How does Nintendo's Teaser even correlate with "Sonic Swings a Sword"

[Crushed]

How does Nintendo's Teaser even correlate with "Sonic Swings a Sword"

Uh, there was a sword (that didn't look like this one) sticking out of a blue circle.

Blue circle = the collective back of Sonic fans
Sword = this game

[onsedatives]

I don't blame them for taking advantage of the Ntards like that. First Castlevania Judgement, now Sonic.

They aren't even lying either, these are new games being unveiled. 

[Enl]

Jesus... fucking.. hell... Sega

[demi]

Looking at it again, yeah it makes sense... the blue hill is from the Sonic Adventure artwork

[John Dunbar]

"Awesome" should not appear in any sentence with a Sega game unless it's Shenmue. Fucking abortion of a company.

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Its par for the course, really.  For every good decision Sega makes, they must make some bad ones.

+signing Platinum Games
+subtitled Yakuza 2
+Samba De Amigo Wii (with fucking maracas!)
+Thunder Force VI.  Holy shit, there's a Thunder Force VI?!

-Sonic continues to be lame
-Iron Man and The Hulk suck, not really that surprising, but still.
-Nobody gives a damn about Olympic Games-game

Still, not an entirely bad batting average.  I can't stay mad at Sega when they do give me exactly what I want, even if it takes them a while.

[Himu]

I am going to kill myself.

[Crushed]

Someone on GAF had a great idea, worthy of SEGA. Skies of Arcadia 2 should be Sonic & The Sky Pirates, and Shenmue 3 can be Sonic & The Search for Sailors.

[Grecco]

I wonder if it will be a DMC clone, or better yet an Okami clone with Sonic.  the impending lolz are indescribable.


Still this will most certainly be a better game than the Adventures of Dr. Sonic and Mister Werehog.

[Phoenix Dark]

Any scans?

will sonic be questing on the beach with his sword?

[Darunia]

so this was their exclusive 

wii 

[AdmiralViscen]

fucking wow

[demi]

Ghostbusters for DS? Do want... details would be nice

[Tucah]

Holy shit

Sega

NP

[Bildi]

Sonic?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

*breathes*

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[cool breeze]

I think the next game made needs to be a Sonic light gun shooter.  When you shoot at an enemy, basically you are shooting Sonic curled up.

[laesperanzapaz]

:PISS  nintendo & sega kissing in a tree

both companies need to die

or at least their fanbase

[archie4208]

That sword looks FUCKING AWESOME.  Can't wait. 

[demi]

Look at those realtime graphics... Wii is a beast

[Jabberwocky]

Sonic and Wii are the bane of gaming.

[cool breeze]

Are there any scans of the game itself and not just the cover?

[ferrarimanf355]

"Awesome" should not appear in any sentence with a Sega game unless it's Shenmue. Fucking abortion of a company.

... or Daytona USA.

[Rman]

Oh Lord.

[Van Cruncheon]

still better than shenmue

[cool breeze]

I fear to see what Shenmue 3 is going to look like from the new Sega.  Then again, the Ryu ga Gotoku games are awesome.

[Van Cruncheon]

if there is a god, there will never be a shenmue 3

[Flannel Boy]

still better than shenmue

Do you have images disabled?

It's Sonic. . . with a sword!

[cool breeze]

You've been wrong before.

[Joe Molotov]

Sonic May Cry?

[Tabasco]

I am going to kill myself.

We're leaving Himuro

[tiesto]

It'll probably be better than all these generic grey and brown colored FPSes that are coming out... oh who am I kidding, this is gonna suck anyways.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Sonic the Hedgehog - Still Sucking Since 1991

[Great Rumbler]

Too bad it isn't Sonic and the Dark Knight.

[etiolate]

I imagine this was originally another IP with another character, until someone up top decided to throw Sonic in for some assured sales.

or maybe it was shenmue 3

AWESOME

It sounds definitively Japanese.

I wonder what incredible song they'll make us listen to in the menus this time.


NO SUCH THING AS FATE FOR THOSE WHO SLIIIIIIIIICE
FAST OUTTA TIME ABJJAJSJSJJAJ YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ME
A BIG SWORD IN HAND, THROUGH SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING SOME,
A BIG SWORD IN HAND, RUNNING THROUGH FORESTS SOMETHING SOMETHING

[Great Rumbler]

irresistible cast of characters

DO NOT WANT

[Crushed]

FINALLY, scans and info.

- "This time, a sorceress named Merlina summons Sonic to the mythical realm of King Arthur, but it seems the fabled monarch has somehow been corrupted and now rules the land as the tyranical Black Knight."

- Uses a similar storybook device as Sonic and the Secret Rings

- "As Sonic runs along, a simple flick of the Wii remote will execute a basic slash, which is enough to dispatch most low-level grunts."

- "More advanced swordplay consists of the ability to thrust, parry, and even pull off a buzz-saw maneuver midjump."

- "During out demo, we saw the hedgehog leap from a high precipice, then thrust the blade into a wall to slow his decent, sparks flying impressivly as steel cut through brick."

- "Combat is integrated in such a way that most of the time you can slice through any who stand in your path without even slowing down."

- "Sonic is controlled with the Control Stick."

- "Our hero begins his quest as a mere knave. Only by becoming a full-fledged knight will he have any hope of defeating King Arthur."

- "his sword, a talking blade named Calibur, serves as a mentor."

- "At the end of each stage, the game tallies your good and not-so-good deeds and updates your rank accordingly."

- "Sonic can aquire everything from gauntlets to magical tomes to new swords, and when equipped, each article bestows him with a unique benefit."

- "On the audio side, veteran composer Jen Senoue is taking a smiliar approach, injecting familiar Sonic themes with a Celtic flavor."

- "Each stage has multiple branching paths and searching for townsfolk and treasure chests provides an element of exploration that recalls Sonic's early Genesis days."

- "The camera will occasionally pan to a side-scrolling perspective for a quick dose of classic 2-D action."

- "And there will be no dinosaur eggs!"

- "Just as they subbed in for such characters as Ali Baba and Aladdin in Sonic and the Secret Rings, a number of familiar faces will assume Arthurian personas in SBK."

- "This time, however, some of Sonic's friends will be playable. Each hero will boast unique abilities, and though the team isn't ready to divulge the full cast just yet, we do know the identities of two playable comrades: Knuckles, who brandishes two swords at once, and Shadow."

- "a new special guage will bestow him with similarly impressive powers. The meter fills gradually whenever Sonic vanquishes an enemy or snags a purple elemental, and when it reaches a certain point you can unleash a powerful combination attack capable of tearing through multiple foes in quick succession. You simply press the B button to lock onto the nearest enemy, flick the remote to strike him down, then press B again to move onto the next unfortunate soul. If you chain together enough smitings before the guage is depleted, Sonic will receive a speed burst at the end of the string."

- "the team behind Sonic and the Black Knight is keenly aware of the franchise's past missteps, and their enthusiasm for doing right by the series is infectious."

[demi]

Looks good for a Dreamcast game

[MCD]

that some zelda killer for sure!

[Eel O'Brian]

what in the goddamned hell

does the hedgehog fuck a human in this one

[Great Rumbler]

- "the team behind Sonic and the Black Knight is keenly aware of the franchise's past missteps, and their enthusiasm for doing right by the series is infectious."

Pull the other one.

[AdmiralViscen]

This is so fucking distinguished mentally-challenged

[Crushed]

I bet Shadow rides a horse and shoots a crossbow, shaped like a pistol.

EDIT: more pics

[cool breeze]

A talking sword?

swell.

- "Each stage has multiple branching paths and searching for townsfolk and treasure chests provides an element of exploration that recalls Sonic's early Genesis days."

I totally remember Sonic doing that back in his 2d days! I'm glad Sega remembered too!

Don't forget the days of your youth spent searching the castles of medieval Britannia on the ol' Genesis!

EDIT: I hope that if you smite enough innocent townsfolk, you'll turn into the Wolf-hog; another throwback to the days of classic Sonic.

[drohne]

its setting is less discordant than too human's. and the combat is going to be better.

[MCD]

at least the story will be better than mgs4.
