Remember that sword silhouette from last months Nintendo Power? The new cover of this month's issue has Sonic holding a sword in a new Wii game. Will post more when more is revealed in the actual issue.

Sonic + Swords? o__O

I vomited shit.

M74 · (07-19-2008, 08:42 PM)

Sega Sonic Team does it again? :lol

Oh, and ib4 the inevitable 1:1 sword fighting speculation.

Ninja Scooter · (07-19-2008, 08:42 PM)

Sonic and his Shitty Sword.

AniHawk · (07-19-2008, 08:42 PM)

Wow. I think this is the worst thing anyone could've thought of.

[Nintex] · (07-19-2008, 08:42 PM)

what the fuck?

Loudninja · (07-19-2008, 08:42 PM)

A sword.....? how do you go form guns to a sword?

Zenith · (07-19-2008, 08:42 PM)

so we have Sonic and werewolves.
Sonic and turn-based RPGs
and now Sonic with sword fighting.

how can a pubisher be so blind as to the wants of its fanbase and the bashing of professional critics. it's like they're doing this intentionally.

ivysaur12 · (07-19-2008, 08:42 PM)

wat

jj984jj · (07-19-2008, 08:43 PM)

I saw it too. :lol @ all who thought it was KH3.

jaundicejuice · (07-19-2008, 08:43 PM)

Oh Sega, at least you're giving us MadWorld.

PandaPandaPanda · (07-19-2008, 08:43 PM)

it was bad enough when they had Shadow with a gun

and it got just as bad, if not worse now :\

Y2Kev · (07-19-2008, 08:43 PM)

This sounds awesome! Sonic, who is known for his brawling and fighting, is going to be super awesome in a fighting game! Frankly, when they showed the brawler part of Sonic Unleashed-- the WERESONIC part-- I was like, "No, Sega! Why should this be included in this OBVIOUSLY shitty 2dish Sonic game? This should be spun off into its OWN game!"

My PRAYERS have been ANSWERED. My WILDEST DREAMS have come TRUE.

Yeah, I have no idea what kind of game this is but this is surprising news :lol

edit: So is this like Sega's, "We're sorry, just ignore that OTHER Sonic game we're making. It's bad"-a culpa?

lopaz · (07-19-2008, 08:43 PM)

not entirely pleased with this

Himuro · (07-19-2008, 08:43 PM)

Sonic is dead to me.

[Nintex] · (07-19-2008, 08:44 PM)

It's real?

... no words

ivysaur12 · (07-19-2008, 08:44 PM)

Wow, Dead Rising already in NP?

EDIT: Is it an RPG? A fighting game?

M74 · (07-19-2008, 08:44 PM)

No. You do not give them credit for Mad World. They don't deserve it. Platinum should get every ounce of the credit there.

charlequin · (07-19-2008, 08:44 PM)

There aren't NEARLY enough :lol s in this thread yet.

Naruto · (07-19-2008, 08:44 PM)

CurseoftheGods · (07-19-2008, 08:45 PM)

It looks like it might be the sequel to Secret Rings.

Morbid Angel · (07-19-2008, 08:45 PM)

Wizpig · (07-19-2008, 08:45 PM)

Oh. My.

It would work if it was like Sparkster/Rocket Knight Adventures, but no.

Plenty of non-Sonic related products from Sega turn out pretty good. Sonic is just cursed, I wonder what they're doing to him this time...

Loudninja · (07-19-2008, 08:46 PM)

Why are devs trying to make new genres out of classic games?

THIS! A thousand times this.

This doesn't work when the new game is just as shitty as Unleashed.

I was just about to post this.

TheKingsCrown · (07-19-2008, 08:46 PM)

Oh my goodness. Details on the actual game besides the fact that Sonic is now going medieval?

J-Rock · (07-19-2008, 08:46 PM)

The Legend of Sonic?

Might be cool. Might suck. I'll wait for more info before I give a full opinion.

It's nice to see that the Wii is getting more Sonic though.

I actually think Sonic looks badass with that sword. I'm fearful though.

Regulus Tera · (07-19-2008, 08:47 PM)

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

At least it's a new announcement, not like Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.

jarosh · (07-19-2008, 08:47 PM)

man, sword sonic is so badass. i hope he's gonna be unlockable in castlevania judgement.

Urban Scholar · (07-19-2008, 08:47 PM)

Alright I remain optimistic to a certain but man...You know what I'm going to say it. Its like kicking a dead horse with Sonic.

Guybrush Threepwood · (07-19-2008, 08:47 PM)

Fan-made Sonic games are the only ones that matter anymore.

Fuck you, Sega

Scribble · (07-19-2008, 08:47 PM)

Black Knight = Shadow?

Y2Kev · (07-19-2008, 08:47 PM)

gaf needs a crying smilie

Wii is the PERFECT place to do a Sonic 4 a la MegaMan 9 (not that Sega or DIMPS or anyone could make a game that good...).

LazerShark · (07-19-2008, 08:47 PM)

First a Castlevania fighting game, now Sonic with swords. What the hell could be next?

Maximilian E. · (07-19-2008, 08:47 PM)

At least its not a Sonic FPS... ohh fuck. did I give someone an idea now????

(seriously, wtf is this??)
