Oct 10 2007 - Sonic In Smash Bros: Confirmed

After months of speculation, Nintendo has finally confirmed the presence of Sonic in their upcoming 2008 Wii game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Sonic will join Metal Gear hero Solid Snake as one of the first two third-party characters to appear in Nintendo's hit fighting game series.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is expected to be released in 2008 (although rumours suggest 2007, but only in the US).

Jan 26 2007 - Sonic In Smash Brothers?

A few years ago, there were rumours that Sonic and Tails were playable in Super Smash Brothers: Melee. Well, they're back - but this time, they may have some truth to them!

Rumours are flying all over that Sonic may indeed be making an appearance in Nintendo's highly-anticipated upcoming Wii title, Super Smash Brothers: Brawl.

Super Smash Brothers: Brawl has already shocked gamers by announcing the inclusion of Metal Gear protagonist Solid Snake, which many believe clears the way for other third-party characters to join the mayhem. And in fact, Sonic topped a poll of the third-party characters which people would most like to see in the game.

We haven't confirmed anything yet, but if we get any more news on this issue, we'll let you know!

Super Smash Brothers Brawl is expected to be released for the Nintendo Wii during 2007.

Dec 03 2006 - Sonic Rivals Is Out (We Think)

Sonic Rivals, we think, should be out in Europe now. Why the 'we think'? Unfortunately, details of its release dates are a bit difficult to come by. Early December is the most popular thought on when it is supposed to be coming out, so if it isn't out already, it should be out soon this month.

Whenever its release date is, we can presume that it will retail for about £29.99 at launch.

Nov 06 2006 - UPDATE: Sonic's Upcoming New Releases!

It's turning wintery in the Northern Hemisphere, and it looks like we're in for a chilly one. So, we thought you'd like an update to soothe the soul.

As you probably know if you've been visiting us here at Sonic.Neo regularly (and you have...haven't you?), Sonic isn't exactly sitting back with his feet up in front of a nice cosy fire this winter. Oh no. He's busy.

Novermber the 17th is a big day for the Sonic Series. Europe and North America see the XBOX 360 release of Sonic's next-gen debut Sonic The Hedgehog, and North America also gets the PlayStation 3 release of the same game. Yes, we're dying to know what that silver hedgehog is all about as well. And no, we don't know yet.

And there's more high-speed action from the blue hedgehog in Sonic's debut on Sony's handheld PSP. Sonic Rivals is due out in the very near future - early December is the current buzz - and promises plenty of racing action. It looks like it's going to be taking advantage well of the sheer power of the PSP, so we'll see what it does soon.

And as if that wasn't enough, Sonic is also going off and adventuring with some Secret Rings or other in his debut on Nintendo's upcoming console, the Wii. Sonic And The Secret Rings is shaping up to be an amazing game, with a new type of storyline and innovative control system, taking full advantage of the Wii's technology. No-one has yet confirmed for us when it is due to be released, but some time in early 2007-ish seems to be the most popular estimate flying around at the moment. You'll know when we know...well, as soon as we manage to wrench ourselves away from the news for long enough to tell you, at any rate.

Of course, that means lots of work for us here at Sonic.Neo. But don't worry, we'll keep you posted on any developments!

Aug 27 2006 - The REAL Title Of Sonic Wii...

News which we received before the conference in Leipzig, Germany on Wednesday the 23rd of August indicated that "Sonic Wild Fire" was going to be re-titled to "Sonic and the Secret Rings".

Previously assumed to be "Sonic and the Secret Rings", it is apparently going to be entitled "Sonic and the Secret of the Rings". How that title is going to fit on the box cover in a font other than Kanji remains to be seen (that title could actually be a Kanji translation in itself), but as of now, that is the assumed title.

More news on this and, of course, other titles as we get it.

Aug 20 2006 - Sonic Wild Fire To Be Re-Titled?

According to certain sources, SEGA has re-named its upcoming Nintendo Wii title, "Sonic Wild Fire".

The company is due to officially announce the new title of the game, suggested to be "Sonic and the Secret Rings", at the upcoming conference in Leipzig, Germany.

While no further information, beyond the standard conspiracy theories about EggMan and whatnot, has been released to anyone as of yet regarding exactly what these "Secret Rings" are or how they play into the storyline, it comes as some relief to a number of fans to know that the game will not be a completely re-telling of Arabian Nights, as had previously been widely believed.

Jun 08 2006 - New Sonic Wild Fire Video!

SEGA has released a new video of its upcoming Nintendo Wii development, Sonic Wild Fire. Presumably designed to demonstrate the graphical power of the game and potentially as a subtle message to Nintendo about SEGA's immense interest in the Nintendo Wii's controller, it displays Sonic playing with a Wii Controller, before declaring "Finally, something interesting!" (spoken in English), and taking off in a blast of fire.

The video can be viewed HERE (Thanks go to SkullKidKazooie for providing the Link to the Video)!

May 18 2006 - PSP gets Sonic exclusive!

Soon this Fall, gamers will be able to get their hands on a brand new Sonic title exclusive for the PSP, titled Sonic Rivals.

Sonic Rivals is a racing-platformer, in which yourself or a friend (through a local wireless connection) can duel it out in a variety of 3D worlds that each contain the type of 2D classic, fast-paced racing action you would expect from a Sonic game. Tracks will have plenty of insane loops and twists, but they will also feature various hazards set up by Dr. Eggman himself.

Not only will you have to worry about the traps, but you will have to worry about your fellow rival as well. Besides being able to jump ahead of your opponent or being able to hit them to make them slow down, each one of the four selectable characters will have a signature move they can use to gain advantage in a race. On top of this, there will also be plenty of power-ups placed along the tracks, with each power-up reacting differently based on whether you are in first or second place.

Sonic Rivals will also feature a rewards system which involves the player collecting trading cards.

More information soon.

May 15 2006 - Exclusive Wii Sonic Title Announced

During e3, SEGA revealed a Sonic game exclusive for the Nintendo Wii console. The game, entitled Sonic Wild Fire, features levels that requires Wii-mote action to navigate.

Sonic runs through levels as pillars spout through the ground and the Wii-mote guides him left or right. Classic moves such as the homing attack return in the installment in addition to new moves such as sidling across walls with spikes that pop in and out.

It's not entirely bad for PS3 and Xbox360 owners though, they'll also have their own Sonic game (tentatively titled Sonic the Hedgehog) and it's unconfirmed if that will also be coming to the Wii.

Good news all around for next generation console owners.

Nov 28 2005 - Reviewers "Very Disappointed" Over Shadow, But "Loving" Sonic DS!

In an incredible turn-around of events, the hype building up toward the Release Dates of Shadow's game have apparently given way into severe criticism from various sources.

Even some of those who had, originally, argued against those who remained confident in the potential significance of the less-popular equation of "Shadow + Weapons = Disaster" are giving these opinions a second thought. Scores of lower than 50% for the game are being widely circulated around the Internet.The main area which such Reviewers are focusing on is (would you believe it?) Gameplay.

Cube IGN gives the game an Over-All Quality Rating of 4.9/10.

Meanwhile, a good many sources have praised Sonic DS for its efforts in "revolutionising" the Sonic Series. Aside from the fact that is is practically exactly what they said that Shadow The Hedgehog would do, they appear to be satisfied with it. DS IGN is among these sources.

Nov 06 2005 - SEGA Of Europe Confirms Release Details Of "Shadow The Hedgehog"

After months of speculation, the final details regarding the European release of Shadow The Hedgehog have been confirmed.

#1: The game will be released on the Nintendo Game-Cube. Updaters on SEGA Of Europe's Web-Site apparently forgot to include the Game-Cube in their platform lists, prompting speculation that the game would only be released on the Play-Station 2 and X-Box in Europe.

#2: It will have an Age Content Rating of 12+ from the PEGI. Theories ranging all the way from 3+ to 16+ have been speculated for several months now, but the final Age Content Rating has been confirmed.

#3: It will be released on the 18th of November. Previous reports from various sources have claimed that the game, along with Sonic Rush, had been pushed back to the 25th of November. Most European releases, in Great Britain especially, take place on a Saturday, so this Friday release is unusual. Considering that this is only three days later than the North American release date, SEGA are really excelling themselves here.

Sep 15 2005 - Sonic Refuses To Join The Revolution

Well, they've finally gone and done it. After all Nintendo has done for SEGA's revival campaign after the Dream-Cast crashed down, SEGA are abandoning Nintendo - or so current reports would appear to indicate. This follow-up sequel to Sega And Nintendo Battle In The Skies Over Europe reveals that the battle has spread beyond Europe, and over to the rest of the globe. Time to stop spreading those rumours of Sonic appearing with Mario in the same game, then...

Behind the rejoicing at Yugi Naka's latest speech regarding Sonic's initial outing on the "next-next-generation" consoles lies a serious story of potential betrayal...

He describes the "rebirth of Sonic". So perhaps their ties with the Developers "Secret Level" are Sonic-related after all...?

Yes, some of you may resort to the hopeful and wishful thinking of "Nintendo still hasn't given third-party Developers licenses yet". That was true back when the so-called "Sonic 360" Title was announced, but now we know for a fact that at least one third-party Developer has received a license to create a game for the Nintendo Revolution (Super Smash Brothers III and Metroid Prime Revolution both have external Developers working on them).

Is there hope? Well, to be perfectly honest, yes, there is...if a rather distant hope.

Perhaps SEGA is waiting until Nintendo unveils their mysterious Nintendo Revolution Controller to the World before deciding on whether or not to bring Sonic to the platform? Hopefully so; because if they are not employing this strategy, and their minds are dead set against releasing the game on the Nintendo Revolution system, they will have betrayed their closest allies - who helped them to their feet again after their previous defeat.

What would be the implications of SEGA abandoning Nintendo? Well, for a start, Nintendo would need to find a new co-Developer for the F-ZERO Series, and fast. In actual fact, F-ZERO GX was hailed as being the strongest link yet between Nintendo and SEGA, since it and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle constantly make in-game references to each other. SEGA's apparent small role in Animal Crossing DS would need to be replaced, as well as SEGA's other roles in other Nintendo games.

So, for now, Nintendo fans will apparently have to return to Mario for their main hero, Ganondorf for their ginger-haired mad scientist, Captain Falcon for their speed and Samus Aran for their rather random Space-based strangeness, without the Sonic lot being on the scene. Will Sonic Rush be the last which Nintendo sees of the blue spike-ball? If SEGA are planning to abandon Nintendo just when it seemed possible that they could even merge, this could well be so. More of this grim news as I come across it...

Sep 08 2005 - SEGA and Nintendo Battle In The Skies Over Europe

Why are my Sonic Senses tingling, and telling me that SEGA Of Europe has a bit of a grudge against Nintendo Of Europe? Probably because SEGA Of Europe's Games List mentions the Game Cube a grand total of three times. Read on to discover the vast array of additional reasons...

Let's face it; SEGA and Nintendo were destined to clash eventually. So why do it in the skies over the "Neglected Continent of Planet Video-Games"?

Take a look at the limited amount of information available on Shadow The Hedgehog on SEGA Of Europe's Web-Site. Aside from the fact that this source claims that the game will be released a week later than its previously-announced release date, no news of a Game Cube release of the game is present. The PlayStation 2 and X-Box releases are confirmed; but not the Game Cube one! A lone news report claims that the game may see such a release, but the rest of the ifnromation indicates exactly the opposite.

Now, Nintendo Of Europe claims that the game will be released on their console a week earlier than what the SOE crew says, on 18/11/05 (but then again, does anyone seriously trust what the NOE says about release dates anymore?). They also claim that Sonic Rush will meet the same release date. So, given that many people have lost faith in Nintendo Of Europe's reelase date judgement skills, they could easily potentially be incorrect - VERY incorrect, indeed.

Does that sound bad? Oh, it gets worse.

SEGA Of Europe's Web-Site contains NO DETAILS WHATSOEVER of a Game Cube release of Sonic Gems Collection, let alone a confirmed release date for it. The game will be released on the PlayStation 2 here, but no news of a Game Cube release is mentioned. Ironically, however, Game Cube-related magazines and Web-Sites are providing most of the news and previews on the game. How disappointed shall they be...?

Also having been apparently beaten down from 18/11/05 to 25/11/05 is Sonic Rush - but at least that game has been confirmed to be seeing a release over here.

Aug 18 2005 - NOE Announces Current European Release Dates Of New Sonic Games

Nintendo Of Europe (NOE) has confirmed the currently-projected release dates of the three upcoming Sonic titles on their systems.

Both Shadow The Hedgehog and Sonic Rush will be released on 18/11/05 (which is about when we expected them, anyway), and Sonic Gems Collection will be released on 23/09/05; indeed, as usual, over a month after the North American release date.

With the American release date for Shadow The Hedgehog still looking to be in late November at the earliest, perhaps European players will finally see a SEGA game before the North Americans do. Someone could potentially change that at the last moment, just to be typical, but as it stands, there is a possibility that the game will actually be released in Europe before it is released in North America.

Aug 17 2005 - Sonic Gems Collection Now released in North America

Sonic Gems Collection, released in North America on the 16th of August, is the next game in the Sonic compilation series. The games in the compilation were originally released on Sega's previous consoles. The most popular games in this collection of Sonic classics are Sonic the Fighters, Sonic R, and Sonic CD.

There's also games you can unlock that come from Sega's Game Gear. The games are Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic Drift 2, Tails' Sky Patrol, Sonic Spinball, Tails Adventures, and Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble.

The game is on sale in stores now in the United States of America and goes for an average, estimated (and also unbelievably cheap) price of $29.99. Now watch the price double up to £35 when it reaches Europe, just as it usually does...
