[Gravijah]

De Blob and Sonic should really switch subtitles.

 

[Fuzz Rez]

Yay, more DeBlob \o/
One of best new IPs this gen. I hope this one rocks as much as the first one.

[OnPoint]

De Blob and Sonic should really switch development teams.

Fixed for Sonic's sake.

Really want to see that Sonic Colors feature. Are scans still banned? I guess that might be a stupid question. :lol

Yes, they are. But most Sonic sites are hyped up about the new game, so I'm sure with Google you'll find them quickly enough.

Though I think in that same preview thread the rest of the info was posted:..at least it will be less cluttered than in the other thread.

Sonic Colors

* different colored wisps mean different power-ups
* power-ups only last for a limited time
* yellow wisp = drill
* drill for burrowing underground or speeding through water
* green wisp = laser
* use laser to zip across the screen and destroy enemies
* 7 or 8 wisps in all
* carry 1 wisp at a time
* activate by flicking the Wiimote
* gauge at the bottom of the screen shows how much longer the power-up will last
* yellow wisp lasts about 10 seconds
* red wisp = fireball
* red wisp is only in the DS version
* red wisp allows you to boost in any direction, give access to new heights
* red wisp allows you to ignite a rocket platform
* unique boss battles in both versions
* Wii bosses do pop up in DS title
* tilt Nunchuk to drift around corners
* during the demo that Nintendo Power played, roughly 70% of the gameplay was 2.5d
* 3D perspective for speed portions, 2.5D perspective for more platforming-based action
* tons of hidden paths
* some hidden paths can only be accessed via use of certain wisps
* mysterious emblems are scatted about levels, with their purpose being unknown
* if drill power-up runs out while you're drilling underground, you'll die
* antennas will warp you to new sections of a level, if you have the laser wisp
* rocket wisp as well.

Now implement more frequent save points and the sequels rectifies all of my gripes with the first one.
