(NWR Via Famitsu)

Sonic Team sat down with Famitsu magazine in Japan for this week's issue, during which a new game (platforms to be announced on July 22) and a feature film was also announced. (Translation courtesy SOAH City)

"We at Sonic Team – are developing a completely new game, as well as developing a full movie, actively done by Sony Pictures, and animation on Sonic Boom"

You guys ready for a whole lot of Sonic?

06 me if old.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

It's better than nothing.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

IT'S NO USE

 

[Creaking]

Sonic '16

The ten year anniversary. Let it wash over you.

 

[Coffee Dog]

I uh, don't think this is what an already unfocused brand needs.

 

[Kyzer]

It's better than nothing.

pure speculation

 

[Pancake Mix]

PS4/XB1/Steam this fall as well as a launch title for NX I suspect.

Sony Pictures is in partnership with both the new FF movie and this, I'm sure they're happy.

 

[enkaisu]

C H A O G A R D E N

 

[KZXcellent]

I'm excited to see what Sonic Team's new game is! Hopefully Crush 40 is working on a new theme song.

 

[Anth0ny]

Sonic 2016, the follow up to Sonic 06 we have all been waiting for.

 

[Ibuki]

It's better than nothing.

Can't wait for Comcept to fire back on twitter once this comes out.

 

[Zackat]

Mobile Game?

Mobile Game.

I would be down for a Chao Garden mobile game though.

pls be a big-time game tho

 

[Berordn]

Can't wait for Comcept to fire back on twitter once this comes out.

What happens if it's like the last anniversary game and actually good?

Mobile Game?

Mobile Game.

I would be down for a Chao Garden mobile game though.

Sonic Team's last internal mobile effort tanked badly so they're probably content to let Dash just rake in all the cash for now.

 

[Astral Dog]

i think they were waiting a bit for NX

 

[TimmiT]

Original source doesn't say that the platforms will be announced on 7/22. I imagine they will be because that's when the 25th anniversary party is but still.

They also said nothing about it being released this year.

 

[Ibuki]

What happens if it's like the last anniversary game and actually good?

Then I'm sure the Sonic twitter will have some hilarious roast cooked up.

 

[jax]

I uh, don't think this is what an already unfocused brand needs.

How is the brand unfocused? The show is doing very well, Boom has a new game releasing this year and is largely just a cash in on the brand, while Sonic Team has their flagship title and film produced.

Would you consider the Mario & Luigi games to be mainline Mario titles?

 

[Shanlei91]

I would be down for a Chao Garden mobile game though.

Then I could finally throw out my VMU!

 

[Jake2by4]

Sonic 2016, the follow up to Sonic 06 we have all been waiting for.

Same thing thing I thought.

 

[Maedhros]

Can't wait for Comcept to fire back on twitter once this comes out.

Unless the game ends being good and having good reviews...

 

[jediyoshi]

Pray for Sonic Generations 2.

Expect Sonic Boom 2.

 

[chrono01]

Can't wait for Comcept to fire back on twitter once this comes out.

Expect the response to be delayed.

 

[RK128]

Um.....can someone please change the thread title? We have no idea what the game is even going to be like yet. It would be strange for a great game being refereed to as 'Sonic 2016' due to the past with the number 6.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the game when its finally announced and hope many are happy with the announcement .

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Just don't have Shadow the Hedgehog be playable. That's all I ask.

Obviously no 3DS version with Sonic Boom this fall.

Will check out when it inevitably shows up on NX.

 

[BY2K]

Sonic 2016, the follow up to Sonic 06 we have all been waiting for.

Finally, we'll get to see Sonic's kids.

Another dad game to add to the list.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

It's better than nothing.

Is it though?

I mean, sometimes nothing is better than something.

 

[NateDrake]

It's better than nothing.

We can't be sure of that just yet.

Hopefully this is better than their last few Sonic efforts.

 

[KZXcellent]

Can't wait for Comcept to fire back on twitter once this comes out.

At least Sonic Team won't be wasting backer's money on this one.

 

[Heroman]

There is 90% chance that this will be disappointing

 

[Ibuki]

Unless the game ends being good and having good reviews...

Like I said before, then we will get some more Sonic twitter hilarity. We win either way really.

 

[HUELEN10]

 

[SalvaPot]

Its going to be GREAT GREAT GREAT.

 

[Shiggy]

Make Sonic great again.

 

[BlackJace]

I'd honestly welcome an unintentionally hilarious clusterfuck like 06 was for whatever 16 ends up being.

 

[sonto340]

I uh, don't think this is what an already unfocused brand needs.

Sonic Boom does pretty good for all involved last I heard. It's a good way to keep brand awareness around in younger children who think the old games are boring and for old people.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

It's better than nothing.

[Zedox]

It's better than nothing.

Amazing first post.

 

[Nishastra]

Pray for Sonic Generations 2.

Expect Sonic Boom 2.

A sequel to a TV show? Weird.

 

[DalikSkywing]

Please be good like generations.

Didn't mean to spark negativity, but it's changed now.

We can't be sure of that just yet.

Hopefully this is better than their last few Sonic efforts.

Generations and Colors were great. Boom wasn't created by Sonic Team.

 

[DavidFoundation300]

Please be good. Generations was cool but not enough to grab me the rest well.. Yeah just be good lol

 

[nintendoman58]

I really hope this project turns out good and washes the bad taste of Sonic Boom out of everyone's mouths.

I'm always seeing it being used as a reason why Sonic games are still bad and while criticisms of it are not unfounded, people seem to forget that Big Red Button made the Wii U game, and not Sonic Team.

Sonic Team are the ones delivering the goods with Colours, Generations, and to some extent Lost World.

If anyone can make a good mainline Sonic game nowadays, they can.

I think they know it will be good. Hence the Twitter snarkiness/movie deal.

 

[jediyoshi]

Has the Boom series been so prevalent that the games need to be addressed as their subtitles?

 

[phanphare]

It's better than nothing.

lol

 

[J@hranimo]

It's better than nothing.

What an original quip.

 

[Kouriozan]

Oh wait, it's Sonic 2006 10 years anniversary.
I see now.

 

[Zafir]

I glossed over the title and saw 2006 instead of 2016, and then saw the movie details. I nearly had a panic attack at the thought of a Sonic 06 movie!

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Colors,generations were pretty damn good and lost world fell a bit short. So I'm excited to see what they've learned and hopefully something good is coming

 

[PKMNTrainer]

I am terrified of what's to come.
But whatever it is, it needs a little bit of Chao Garden and Crush 40.
