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 15 2006 - X360 - Sonic the Hedgehog Released!

For the North American fans out there who have been desperately waiting to try out Sonic's next-gen debut finally can lay at rest now, as Sonic the Hedgehog has been released on the Xbox 360! The game retails for almost $60 (as with most 360 titles) and is in stores now.

Nov 09 2006 - PS3 - Sonic the Hedgehog delayed!

For the PS3 fans out there who were excited about trying out Sonic's next-gen debut on day one, will have to wait just a little while longer. SEGA has announced that Sonic the Hedgehog has been delayed until later this year, causing the PS3 to lose another launch title.

The reason for the delay is because SEGA needs more time to incorporate downloadable content. But this also means that instead of having to wait for the content after the release of the game, your downloadable content will be available the same day you purchase the game.

We will have more information on Sonic's newest adventure soon.

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!

Oct 06 2006 - Sonic the Hedgehog Gets Hollywood Voice Talent!

SEGA has announced today that the voice of Princess Elise will be played by Lacey Chabert. You will most likely recognize Lacey Chabert from her roles in Mean Girls, Party of Five, and Not Another Teen Movie, but what a lot of people may not know is that she is no stranger to the world of voice acting. In the past, she has voiced characters such as Eliza Thornberry on Nickelodeon's once popular cartoon, The Wild Thornberrys, and had even been the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy when Mila Kunis wasn't on the show.

This marks the first time that a Sonic game has featured Hollywood voice talent, and it looks like SEGA is really striving to make this game something special.

Sonic the Hedgehog is set to be released on both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 mid-November.

Sep 27 2006 - PS3 - Sonic Gets Japanese Release Date!

Today, Sega of Japan announced that Sonic the Hedgehog for the Playstation 3 will hit Japan on December 21st of this year. The game is currently set to be released for the price of 6800 yen, which is the same price for current-generation games. For our readers in Japan who were worried that the price of Playstation 3 games would be more than normal can now rest at ease. Sadly, this will probably not be the case for North America or Europe, but we will just have to wait and see.

As of right now, there is no release date set for the Xbox 360 version of the game.

More details on Sonic the Hedgehog soon.

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.
