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

Davidion · Jul 19, 2008

CurseoftheGods · Jul 19, 2008

I vomited shit.

M74 · Jul 19, 2008

Sega Sonic Team does it again? :lol

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

Ninja Scooter · Jul 19, 2008

Sonic and his Shitty Sword.

AniHawk · Jul 19, 2008

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

[Nintex] · Jul 19, 2008

what the fuck?

Loudninja · Jul 19, 2008

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

Zenith · Jul 19, 2008

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.

jj984jj · Jul 19, 2008

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

jaundicejuice · Jul 19, 2008

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

PandaPandaPanda · Jul 19, 2008

it was bad enough when they had Shadow with a gun

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

Y2Kev · Jul 19, 2008

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 · Jul 19, 2008

not entirely pleased with this

Danke. Scan posted. Guess Sega wants to bombard us with tons of Sonic action.

[Nintex] · Jul 19, 2008

It's real?

... no words

ivysaur12 · Jul 19, 2008

Wow, Dead Rising already in NP?

EDIT: Is it an RPG? A fighting game?

M74 · Jul 19, 2008

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 · Jul 19, 2008

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

Naruto · Jul 19, 2008

Oldschoolgamer · Jul 19, 2008

CurseoftheGods · Jul 19, 2008

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

Morbid Angel · Jul 19, 2008

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

Sonic is dead to me.

ONLY NOW ?

charlequin · Jul 19, 2008

No seriously, that is fucking HILARIOUS.

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 · Jul 19, 2008

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

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

I was just about to post this.

TheKingsCrown · Jul 19, 2008

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

J-Rock · Jul 19, 2008

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 · Jul 19, 2008

: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 · Jul 19, 2008

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

Urban Scholar · Jul 19, 2008

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 · Jul 19, 2008

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

Fuck you, Sega

Scribble · Jul 19, 2008

Black Knight = Shadow?

Y2Kev · Jul 19, 2008

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 · Jul 19, 2008

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

Maximilian E. · Jul 19, 2008

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

(seriously, wtf is this??)

Loudninja · Jul 19, 2008

So I guess the Black Knight is Shadow perhaps?
