In case you missed the live Sonic Unleashed footage we covered earlier, Shadow has now been a confirmed character for Sonic Unleashed. During a live hands-on demonstration, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow we’re all confirmed to be in the game, although no mention of how they would be implemented was discussed.
I’m a bit worried about this choice, but I’m sure Shadow fans everywhere are rejoicing. So long as he doesn’t have guns in this installment… and doesn’t act all *gangsta* or any of that crap, I’d say there’s still a chance he’ll make a good addition to the game.

@Sjibundo:
but my question is will shadow be playeble
i think it would be cool if shadow turned into a werewolf (werechog)
I hate the fact that most people want Shadow to be torn up by that werehog if he does show up in the stroyline. If Shadow does take place in the storyline, it better be good. I don’t have suggestions for it, but I know Shadow will pull through, and if faught, hopefully Shadow will beat werehog Sonic. Shadow the Hedgehog is my favorite character the whole Sonic Series. I am his biggest fan no doubt. I couldn’t care less about Sonic, Silver, or any other hedgehogs. Shadow is the best there is!
The series is called Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic’s SEGA’s mascot. Sonic’s my favorite.
Silly people.
Adding Shadow for side missions (replayablility) is great though!
WHOA
i just hope he fits. it will not be good for him to placed in there badly. but that would be cool if they had a were-hog v.s. shadow fight. that could be a boss…
Hey, RockerDuDe. I have the game. I played the game. And I owned the game! Got all A rank and everything. I know how it goes. I have the greenhill stage, secondary costumes for characters, etc. I’ve even beat the final boss. That biohazard thing, without losing damage atleast 3 times. That thing doesn’t kill Shadow, Shadow and Sonic defeated it. So save your tears cus if Sonic can survive a fall from space {Sonic X} then OF COURSE Shadow can. So yeah. Shadow is in fact the ultimate lifeform.
To the rest of you. I’m here to defend shadow from you losers wether you like it or not. The only downside to most of his characteristics is Jason. By that I mean voice. But hey, it’s only a minor problem. I’m sure it will be solved soon. Atleast I hope.
NOOOOOOOOOOO…
What is shad gonna do anyway in this game?
i agree with you dude but shadow is not the ultimate lifeform in SA2B in the question sign stuff on the last level they show you that the ultimate life form was that stupid dragon and when shadow died i almost cried xD i thought he was dead and they will never make another sonic game with shadow on it so im a fan 2
Shadow’s segment in this stroyline is irrelavant to his reputation. On his first debut there were a lot of fans for him, even more then the ammount there were for sonic on his very first debut. So the fans will be extremely happy to have Shadow back on the storyline since SA2 and SA2 Battle. BUT… Has everyone forgotten about the voice actor? Drop the warfare of the hedgehogs.. {For now} And go and try to make sega change the voice actor back. Shadow AND Sonic both have the same voice actor that emphasizes a TON! I say we have some rants about Jason Anthony Griffith {Very bad voice actor for Sonic and Shadow} before having World Wide Wars on the fastest hedhehogs on the planet. Now, like I said, Shadow’s part to the storyline will be irrelavant to his reputation. The “adding guns to Shadow” part was a pretty bad idea. But sooner or later that will be a thing of the past. Then Shadow will be right back up on his feet and have even more fans on his side. I’m the biggest Shadow the Hedgehog fan you guys will prolly ever meet. Trust me.
Do something about the voice actor first people! Ever since Shadow got Jason to be his voice actor it’s been.. Stranger. Less fans.. Same goes for Sonic but you know, I prefer to help Shadow more. To all you Jason fans out there, are you guys insane?!? Let me help you pick the better voice actor. RYAN DRUMMOND. Yes. I said it. Ryan Drummond. He might be sitting there and just doing nothing about this whole situation. BUT. He hated the fact that he got fired. Plus, He was the best voice actor for Sonic the Hedgehog. On a side note:
Silver the Hedgehog… And most of these new characters to the Sonic roster. Were.. Unneccesary Two hedgehogs are ENOUGH. And if there are disagreements to this. Shadow the Hedgehog was the BEST addition to the Sega Family.
True and Proven fact: Shadow IS the ultamite lifeform.
shadow is the baest after sonic and knuckles cuz he is evil >=] and he looks so cool and shadow the hedgehog wasnt always an android who used weapons so dont hate him is not his fault that SEGA made him look stupid
why can’t silver appear his last game wasent that bad…NOOOOOO
[...] Shadow Confirmed to be in Sonic Unleashed [...]
So Shadow is in the game? Congratulations to who wanted him in. Me, I’d prefer if the only extra characters were Tails and Knuckles (and Amy, who has already been confirmed). I’m glad he’s in Sonic Chronicles, since it’s an RPG, and since the more characters we have the more fun it is. But I’ve marked this game (Unleashed) as special.
Shadow has appeared in all 3D canon games. Why doesn’t SEGA give him a rest? I’ll just keep waiting. There’s always a next game.
Unless…
Maybe Shadow’s appearance is only in the minigames. I sure hope so. I wouldn’t want him in the story. Sincerely, with Weresonic’s presence, and with this story being about Sonic, I thought to myself: “I hope Shadow doesn’t appear. In this game, there’s only space for one strong and cool hedgehog (Weresonic or Sonic himself), and Shadow would be in the way.”
@iNAUDiBLE:
seems you are right.
I really think you should ask david for mod power in the comments to help him out sometime,he will need a second man sooner or later.You are one of the most mature guys here.
@KC Cross & @Darkspines: Quit spamming, quit flaming, and further more, quit acting like morons. I know that the two of you are capable of all three, so why waste such potential?
If you wanna get respect from other people, then respect those who have differing views from you in regards to the characters.
@ChaoticFox: True, I believe this ties into the “building a detector to find more reasonable Sonic fans” topic I brought up.
This’ll be the last time I comment on this, something tells me that it’ll degrade into this site’s equivialent of the old Fluff forums on The Sonic Stadium message board. Only with ADDED CHARACTER “DEBATE”.
lazt? i mean lazy ololololz!!1
sonic should go to the future, and kill silver! now we will never suffer from his ****yness! who cares about solaris? if shadow wasnt so lazt, he and sonic could kill it! i mean he has a girly name, cruddy voice actor, i think he once WAS a girl, and he should suffer a doom in which to NEVER be in another sonic game! just putting him in party mode in secret rings was WAY to much!
he is emo. that’s all. you know it. again, the 2 of them meet like this-
Shadow:GUN, i found the were-hog. what are the commands?
GUN:Bring him back, Dead or Alive!
Shadow:Gotcha!
Were-Sonic:No shadow, its, its..(full moon) ME!!! SONIC! GR!AA!!
Shadow:You will soon realize your fate, you retched beast!
(Were-Sonic and Shadow run full speed at each other, the screen flashes black, and cue Shadow boss fight)
