E3 was really busy for those of us interested in Sonic Unleashed, which by a count of hands, I see is nearly everyone here. With all the action going on in our own community, you may have missed some interesting posts from around the greater Sonic Community. Here’s some of the links we found to be interesting over the past week!
- Summer of Sonic: Play Sonic Chronicles before it’s released! – It’s times like these that I really wish I could afford overseas airfare. Participate over at Summer of Sonic, and you could play Sonic Chronicles nearly 2 months before it’s release!
- What AAUK’s been up to – Speaking of Summer of Sonic, check out what AAUK has been up to recently!
- Sonic Chronicles Website Updated – And in regards to Sonic Chronicles, you may have not noticed that the official site has been updated. Find all 60 rings, and you’ll unlock 2 awesome wallpapers (a few of them are a bit tricky)
- Lots of new Sonic Chronicles Screenshots over at TSSZ – And we mean LOTS.
- Plus a Recap of the Playtest demonstrated at E3 - A pretty good read if you’re considering purchasing it later on.
- Where in the World is Jun Senoue – According to TSS, he may already be working on things for the next Sonic game!
- 2007 Sonic Movie Pitch Was in Fact Real – The Sonic Stadium has details. Sounds like an end to all the Sonic Move drama.
- Samba De Amigo to include Classic Sega Characters – Such as… you guessed it – Sonic.
- Riptens’ Sonic Unleashed Impressions – “I believe that Sonic Unleashed has the potential to be one of the best Sonic games in a very long time, stretchy Werehog arms and all. A few months ago Nintendo took Mario into outer space, and frankly I see this as SEGA’s attempt to experiment with the Sonic brand in a similar way.” – It’s a great read folks!
- Gamespot’s Sonic Unleashed Impressions – “When night falls, you’ll encounter a pretty different spin on the classic gameplay, but from what we were able to see in a demonstration today, fans of Sonic Adventure should be able to look forward to another capable platformer.“
- 1UP Sonic Unleashed Impressions – “Sonic Unleashed certainly looks to draw in several distinct gameplay elements, but unless the daytime segments dominate the experience, we may be looking at yet another uneven 3D Sonic experience.“.
- Kotaku’s Sonic Unleashed Impressions – “When we said we hated the stupid tacked on 3D gimmicky elements of the 3D Sonic games, we didn’t mean we hated them only 50% of the time. 50% of crap and marshmallows is still 50% crap.“.
- Kombo’s Sonic Unleashed Impressions – “The question that remains is this: Will Sonic Team put together a polished game that reinvigorates the brand, or will they yet again let Sega shove an unfinished product out the door to make that November release date?“.
- SEGA E3 Mass Breakdown – A great rundown of what SEGA had to show off this year at E3.
- Triple E3 Roundup – Sonic City Blognik picks up where the SEGA Europe blog leaves off with a roundup of what Sega had to show at E3.
- The Great SEGA Move – Sega of America has moved! Check out their new office!
- Official Sonic World Adventure Site Launches – For the unaware, Sonic World Adventure is the Japanese title for Sonic Unleashed. Their new site is awesome!
- This Week in WTF (1UP) – Scroll down a bit for a hilarious read (for the not so easily offended I should add).
- Blue Blur Central’s Sonic All Star Awards - Blue Blur Central is hosting the Sonic All Star Awards for the best Sonic sites out there. Nominate your favorite sites, and be prepared to vote soon!
Did we miss anything? Let us know in the discussion if you saw something we haven’t already posted!
@DarkChaos: Sounds great! I only have Wii!
I love SU! And some more serious thing isn’t wrong.
@Darkspines: So its not a SatAM movie?
What do you mean it was released already? I never heard about it.
Guys I swear to god I have this issue, let me give you a quote,
The name of the Article is Sonic Unsheathed
“Sega’s fleet-footed hedgehog forges a new path and clashes with royalty in Sonic and the Black Night, exclusively on Wii.
Sonic certainly is a busy hedgehog these days. He’s already slated to make his RPG debut in September’s Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for DS, followed by Wii platforming romp Sonic Unleashed in November. But never one to rest on his laurels, the Blue Blur is also revving up for next year, when he’ll get midieval in the Wii-Exclusive action-adventure Sonic and the Black Knight.”
It goes on to tell you about how it is controlled with Wii Remote and Nunchuk, it is the second entry in the series called the “storybook series” started with Satsr.
I am sorry for no pictures, but for proof go to the Sega forums. One of the sub-forums is called Sonic and the Black Knight
@Lamb84:
its been released its a CGI movie. that means fully 3D.
the last page tease could be herald a new Zelda game, Kingdom Hearts (which we already know is coming to DS), or – in the ultimate fanboy disappointment play – merely a new Fire Emblem. Booo. See you next month where I cry.
I am so going to watch his reaction when he learns of the sonic game.
@Final Rush: I don’t understand. Is it a Satam movie or is it SEGA’s “internal” movie? Because didn’t they say no to the Satam guy in the article? And SEGA making a Satam movie doesn’t really make sense, a Sonic X movie maybe (since Sonic Team made it), but not Satam, especially since it ended years ago, unless its a comeback thing.
………Oh, I don’t know!!!
@PrincessTikal:
Yeah, but at least the storyline was interesting.
This SEGA movie better not be with SatAM or whatever. I hate the characters. Please keep to the video game characters!
@yamiseto:
It’s not. It’s the 232nd issue of Nintendo Power. In other words, the September issue.
online chao shop!!!!!!!!!!
If that’s the 231# issue of Nitendo power and it’s the 20th anniversary, than what’s this issue of. Look’s more real than that. This is the real august issue of Nintendo Power.
