Edit: Looks like Sonic Team is working on it, they will fuck it up somehow :lol

The title and font make it look like it's a Sonic-themed Columns/Puyopuyo/Tetris.

If its like secret rings, then count me in.

They look more like Meteos to me.

I cannot stand the awful sterile art direction of this comic.

In the trailer, it's spelled 'colours'. I hope that's not just for the Italian localisation.

more for you;

We’re excited to announce a brand-new game for Sonic the Hedgehog! Sonic Colors is a high speed action-adventure in which Sonic races through theme park-inspired worlds to rescue a colorful alien race from the clutches of Dr. Eggman. An extraordinary amusement park has been seen orbiting around the home planet of Sonic the Hedgehog, and rumors are spreading that an alien race of Wisps, who have a unique colorful energy, are being held captive there by the evil Dr. Eggman. Soon after arriving at the amusement park, Sonic discovers he is able to use these mysterious alien forces to help the Wisps escape!

Sonic Colors will be available on the Wii and the Nintendo DS around holiday 2010. Sonic Colors for the Wii seamlessly combines both 3D and classic 2D game play perspectives, while the Nintendo DS version takes full advantage of the console’s dual screen.

Sonic Colors sees Sonic accelerating to adrenaline-pumping super speeds and blasting through obstacles in ways never before seen in a Sonic game. The alien Wisps featured in the game each have a unique “Color Power” that, once freed, Sonic is able to absorb while speeding through the various theme park inspired planets. The Wisp energy enables Sonic to create new paths through the stages by drilling through the ground (Yellow Drill) for example, or speeding through the stage as a laser (Cyan Laser). Stringing the Wisp power-ups together creates a combo that increases Sonic’s boost gauge even more quickly. Exclusive Wisp power-ups will be available for both Wii and the Nintendo DS versions, ensuring a unique and super speedy gameplay experience for Sonic fans everywhere.

We’ve got these screens and more on our new Sonic Colors set on Flickr, and a trailer for you below!

woo

It will not be, it is just the TC is American and Americans fail at English and spell most English words without a u. Anyway... yay.... more milking of the dead cow! :lol

Look above you. :lol

Just realized they're basically Space Flickies :lol

NEVER FORGET

 

[Diablohead]

They will have to rename this game for the UK, where you spell it COLOURS

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE RLAN

 

[Baconbitz]

I place my bets on Mario party/carnival/theme park type game Considering it's on both wii and DS.

The description seems to imply that it's more traditional Sonic gameplay.

 

[Glass Soldier]

This looks pretty cool :lol Click for bigger image btw.

 

[Resilient]

If this is basically daytime Sonic Unleashed stages it could potentially be fun.

Also proves that there will be life after Sonic 4.

 

[BowieZ]

Let the gradual descent into meltdown town begin!

 

[TSAGoodness]

Where's the so called Flickr page mentioned in that second update?

Oh god no a rainbow of new Sonic friends

Canada too!

In before Sonic cycle

Edit: what's up with that face painted dude and his rainbow stuff?

Here's the original SEGA PR and said Flickr album. Not much to see though.

Edit: Fuuuu-

 

[Azure Dream]

Boost Gauge. :|

Same reaction. :/

Edit: Dear god, Huelen's got a new desktop.

 

[andymcc]

can't wait for the wii version's tilt minecart stage.

 

[The Awkward Wizard]

Looks...pretty good. The plot is Sonic saving helpless (alien) critters from Robotnik? Hope...rising....

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Same reaction. :/

Edit: Dear god, Huelen's got a new desktop.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Rlan]

HELLO KIDDIES

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

With textures that detailed, this game can't possibly be anything but awesome.

 

[jman2050]

This game already looks and sounds better than Sonic 4.

 

[andymcc]

This game already looks and sounds better than Sonic 4.

the fact that it isn't called sonic 4 is a start.

 

[RobbieNick]

Gameplay at E3 maybe?

Impossible to make any judgments about this game for me,= since we still barely know anything.

Does sound very kiddy though.

[DaBuddaDa]

Hey, at least this obviously in no way, shape or form is trying to appeal to us, the average GAFer, as the target audience. It's for DS and Wii, features colorful cartoon characters and loads of rainbow brite colors. If anyone at any time "gets their hopes up" that this will be "Sonic's true return to form" you deserve to be let down because this blatantly is not trying to be that.

That being said, I'm interested to see how Sonic will work being built from the ground up on the Wii.

 

[digita1alchemy]

The emphasis on crazy speed sort of reminds me of Sonic Rush, which is fine with me.

 

[Sadist]

This going to be the 8th Sonic title on the Wii, dang.

 

[Suzuki Yu]

sounds & looks really interesting
specially the part talking about the unique visual style and Power-ups

and i am glad that they are mixing 2D with 3D gameplay elements

can't wait to see it in action

 

[AceBandage]

This going to be the 8th Sonic title on the Wii, dang.

What can you say?
Sonic sells best on Nintendo systems.

Spoiler

My inner child is raging at that post.

 

[[Nintex]]

SEGA Wii indeed

 

[A Huge Battleship]

Boost gauge and the mix of 2D/3D makes me think Unleashed daytime stages as well. This has my attention so long as the Wisps don't start talking.

 

[The Elite]

The Sonic Cycle must be a banned meme. I'm surprised I haven't seen it yet. :lol

 

[The Technomancer]

Same reaction. :/

Edit: Dear god, Huelen's got a new desktop.

:lol Thank you for that. Huelen, may he rest in peace. Somewhere away from here hopefully.

 

[TheUsual]

I've been seeing this all over the place, what video/song is it called. I really want to see it.

EDIT
Nevermind, found it.

 

[.la1n]

I hate to be optimistic about a sonic game but if it's basically unleashed minus the werehog parts it could actually be quite...dare I say...fun.

 

[Father_Brain]

This going to be the 8th Sonic title on the Wii, dang.

Didn't Unleashed sell best on Wii despite being developed as an afterthought to the HD versions? Maybe Sega has concluded that it no longer makes sense to make PS3/360 the lead platforms for console Sonic platformers.

 

[Vanille]

Music is pretty good.
