New Sonic Unleashed Wii Screens

Apparently, this was a bigger deal than I thought it was – cause my inbox is bulging from the seems right now.  Can’t a man ever get any rest around here?

I’m joking of course, I couldn’t handle this job without so many alert viewers here.  Works been pretty insane lately, and I’m also busy looking at houses right now (my box in the alley just isn’t as roomy as it once seemed), so this update’s coming a bit late.

STORM! over at the Sega Nerds Forum posted some new Sonic Unleashed Wii Screenshots and Manga (revealing what many are already speculating to be a new character) which have got folks all worked up.  If you want my opinion, it’s not much – and all this attention is unwarranted – but hey, that’s just my take.  I’ll be much more thrilled when I see some actual comparitive shots between the Wii platform, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3.

    Uh, first comment here, what should I say…

    The game really does look and sound good. Of course, as the “cycle” message near the top implied, we won’t ever REALLY know how this game handles and appeals until we actually get our hands on it. But it’s a good thing that the developers are saying that they’re aware of the mistakes in the past. It gives us ground for some hope.

    But yeah, I’d agree that some comparative shots would be nice. I’ll end up getting the PS2 version.

    no-one answered, is this new red dog thing a confirmed character I cant seem to find solid evidence

  3. dragonite August 12, 2008

    time will tell

  4. TailstheHedgehog August 12, 2008

    Hmph
    That dog thing looks a little weird and if the werehog isnt going to be a worry point (though to me it looks excellent, I’m talking about the ever frustrating critics) then this fairy-mutt will be.
    Just having a panic attack…

  5. Could there be some translations? Is that’s too much to ask.

    People should stop obsessing over the first comment/reply/whatever. It’s not that important.

  6. i am worried much n
    the shade of the characters
    it seems they didnt developed much the shade it is tjust a circle

  7. Slash the Hedgehog August 12, 2008

    I knew about this already ..

  8. SpeedingHedgehog August 12, 2008

    Wow! Lots of posts! Anyway, I can’t get alot from scans, they come out kinda fuzzy, I like to read from scans, but screenshots always come out bad. I think the Manga is a hoax, I don’t know why they would wright a Manga about a game that might not even be sucessfull. I mean I’ll buy it, but it’s the non-diehard Sonic fans I’m worried about. Someone awhile ago said something about Sonic just having a circle for a shadow in the Wii version. They’ll change it in the final version becouse Sonic had a realistic shadow in Sonic and the Secret Rings. I’m not to worried about the graphics, they’ll come out great! You’ll be surprised!

  9. The new character’s name is Chip (chippu). The guy in the apron is called Ice (aisu).

    And Sonic yells: “I GOT IT!” Then something along the lines of: “There’s too much to do!” or “There’s a whole world to explore!”, although I think the first one’s closer to his expression in the frame.

  10. I think that the Wii and PS2 version is the same as Xbox360 and PS3 version only Hedgehog Engine is missing, worth grafic and shadows. Sonic and Weresonic looks same as on Xbox 360 and PS3.

  11. KC Cross August 12, 2008

    @Kadeb: Technically the games are going to be as similar as possible.

    But the quality isn’t going to be as good for the Wii & PS2.

    I MUST END TOO but can someone tell me if THIS MUSIC is familiar?

    I think its from a past sonic game but cant find

  37. Wow…moving on…

    Those Wii screens look promising. It’s obvious the graphics are unfinished, but it’s nice to see that they will be colorful and at least somewhat similar to the 360/PS3 versions. I still plan to buy both the 360 and Wii versions for the different level design, but for my friends that only have a Wii…I just want it to be as similar graphically as possible.

  38. iNAUDiBLE August 12, 2008

    @Frog: OH NOES, ITS ANOTHER NEW CHARACTER, THE GAME IS RUINED!11!!11 D: D:

    NEVER MIND THAT A VIDEO GAME ISN’T REALLY SOMETHING YOU SHOULD TAKE TOO SERIOUSLY, THE. GAME. IS. RUINED. NOT BECAUSE OF THE GAMEPLAY, ITS ALL BECAUSE OF A TINY DOG WITH WINGS THAT HASN’T BEEN ENTIRELY CONFIRMED TO BE IN THE GAME YET! >:U

    Boo hoo, maybe my interweb diagram can shield me from teh lames and make the fact that I’m jumping the gun about this whole thing less obvious! DDD:

    …frog, has it ever occured to you that you CAN ignore Sonic entirely and play games that won’t want to make you throw the game disc against the wall? Masochism isn’t cool, yo. ;__;

    @Sonication: *raises hand* I do~ Shame, it gets constantly abused, he seems like the Mr. Bill of the Sonic world. “OH NOOOOOOOOO”

    @UmbreonTheDark: Heh, I agree, people should be worrying more about the gameplay and not a character who could possibly not be in the game in the first place.

    @KC Cross: Yeah, some bits on Sonic Rush were hard but I got through all of them…all I need is that last Chaos Emerald! XD

    @SpeedingHedgehog: The manga itself isn’t a hoax, its meant to promote the game, which is why they made it. XD

  39. Darkspines August 12, 2008

    Maybe its just a comic. leave it at that. sega said they know their missteps, okay?

  40. Darkspines August 12, 2008

    @iNAUDiBLE:
    To get the last chaos emerald, constantly pause. i can get through
    the whole special stage WITHOUT GETTING HIT that way!:D
    Only new characters this year are in chronicles, but they fit with the story, and will only be used once. Bioware knows what there doing, and for unleashed, sega knows too!

  41. iNAUDiBLE August 12, 2008

    @Darkspines: Constantly pause? Hmm…well, is there anything special I have to do when pausing? :O

    Yeah, yeah~ I get what you mean.

    (And even if this Chip character is in the game, better him than another hedgehog. There’d be riots if he was…)

  42. Dratinifan13 August 12, 2008

    DUDE!!! THE WII VERSION LOOKS WAAAYYY AWESOMER THEN LAST SCANS!!! I WANT IT NOW!!! :D

  43. dragonite August 12, 2008

    I did it with pausing as well,putting my left hand on the pause button.
    It look 2 hours before I cleared it.
    A month ago I was 15 or so rings short WITHOUT pausing.
    I want to clear it the fair way now.

  44. iNAUDiBLE August 12, 2008

    @dragonite: Left…hand? o__o…

    I don’t get it, how am I supposed to move? Move when I’m paused? XD

  45. dragonite August 12, 2008

    1 play trough the level until you reach special stage
    2 you get a peparation moment
    3 put your left(or right for lefties) hand on the pause button.
    Cross it in a way it does’t hinder your other arm.
    4 put the stylus in your main hand
    5 start the stage
    6 now,you can use your stylus hand to steer as usual.
    7 within seconds you are confronted wit a chaotic mine field.
    8 pause,and observe the screen.
    determine the place where you need to move.it is best to cross a short distance.
    9 unpause,play for a half sec.
    10 pause again,and repeat.

    in practice it mean you pause and unpause all the time while making small,but precise movement.
    You can cleary make out a path this way,
    I found out,that at least for me,the advantage isn;t the ”warping” of sorts,but that you put much less strain on you reflexes.
    Keep trying this way,and you should succeed.

    I almost did it without pausing.
    It gotta be that your brain gets used to the stage,I know it by heart now.I did it before,and now it does’tt seem like a impassable mine field anymore.

    It is like learing to bike,and the pausing is the side wheels.

  46. iNAUDiBLE August 12, 2008

    @dragonite: Thank you<3

  47. I got the translation of the manga off the ign boards for anyone interested . . . and I will copy and paste what she had wrote…hear it is!

    ———————————————————————

    Sonic: “Whaaahh!!”
    Eggman: “Sonic, look at you! What kind of state are you in now?”
    Sonic: “Uh…Wah…”
    Sonic: “Look at what you have done Dr. Eggman…”
    Eggman: “All of these years’ hassle…is time for payback!”

    Sonic: “Hmph…if you can do it…I’d dare you to try…”
    Sonic: “But I will still…”
    Sonic: “Keep on fighting with you!”
    Eggman: “What!?”

    Sonic: “This kind…of power…”
    Eggman: “No…not good!”
    Eggman: “Don’t…don’t let Sonic get away!”
    Sonic: “This power…I’ll keep it with gratitude…Dr. Eggman…”

    Chip: “Neh neh, Sonic, Chip is hungry!”
    Sonic: “Hm….you are?”
    Chip: “And to enquire information about the shrine(Temple?) too!”
    Sonic: “Ok, Let’s go and rest at the town in front!”
    Chip: “Yay~~~~”
    Sonic: “Maybe we can find someone there who knows you.”
    Chip: “Ah! A village!”

    Chip: “Chip wants to eat ice cream~~!”
    Sonic: “Ah!”
    Ice cream man: “Welcome!”
    Ice cream man: “Get your ice cold and sweet ice cream!”
    Chip: “Ice cream! Give me ice cream!”
    Ice cream man: “Hai~!”(Is like “ok” in English)
    Chip: “ICE CREAM!!!!”
    Ice cream man: “Welc….”

    Chip: “GIMME ITTTTTT!!!!”
    Ice cream man: “Uaaaa!!! MY SHOP!!!!!!”
    Sonic: ‘Wha…turned out as a disaster…’
    Chip: “…Seems like Chip has done something bad…”
    Ice cream man: “My….my shop….”
    Chip: “Then, there won’t be any ice cream to be sold!”
    Chip: “Sonic! This is bad!! If this keeps up, Chip won’t have any ice cream!”

    Sonic: ‘I wonder WHO did it.’
    Chip: “Sonic!! Ice cream!! Chip’s ice cream!!!!”
    Ice cream man: “My shop!!!!!!”
    Sonic: “I KNOW!! WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!”
    *The background reads “So noisy!”*
    Sonic: “We have the responsibility, so just leave the shop repairing job to us!”
    *The word under Sonic reads “Confidential pose”*
    Ice cream man: ‘Oh oh, I wonder who is the one that destroyed it…’
    Chip: “Go Sonic go!”
    Sonic: “Not time to waste! Lets’ get started!”
    Sonic: “~!@#$%^&*(!?”
    Chip: “Of course! Chip will go too!!”

    Chip: “How are we suppose to do it Sonic?”
    Sonic: “To find materials that we can use.”
    Chip: “Oh yeah! To gather the materials those are used for repairing!”
    Chip: ‘O~k then! Chip will help and search!”
    Chip: “It is easier to find them with the two of us!”
    Sonic: “Hehe, all up to you partner!”

    Chip: “Found a mushroom in the beginning!”
    Sonic: “What are you doing with the mushroom Chip-san?”
    Chip: “Ha ya!”
    Chip: “Sorry sorry! Chip started to think about how to fill up my stomach first!”
    Chip: “Ah! That is delicious yoo!”
    Sonic: ‘Delicious…!?’
    Chip: “Add apple in ice cream is gonna make it very delicious~!”
    Sonic: ‘Dude!’(Something like that. Direct translation is “I say you”XDD)
    Sonic: “This is not the time to say ‘Gonna be delicious~!’ isn’t it?”

    Chip: “Ah? Sonic hate like apples?”
    Sonic: “I don’t hate it.”
    Chip: “Uh! Then you don’t like ice cream!?”
    Sonic: “Of course not! I like it too!”
    Chip: “See~? Ice cream is a delicious food! Chip really~ loves ice cream!”
    Chip: “To create delicious ice cream, we’ll need to collect more ingredients~~~!”
    Sonic: “Oh! Delicious ice cream!”
    Chip: “Yeah~~ Found a strawberry!”
    Sonic: “Hey! No wonder you are Chip!”
    Sonic: “What are you, an idiot?!!!”

    Sonic: “Darn, that gluttony Chip can sometimes be a burden.”
    Sonic: “Chi!”

    Sonic: “Eggmans’ robots again!”
    Sonic: “ I don’t have time to play with you guys!”

    Sonic: “This is…the end!!”

    Chip: “Sonic~!”
    Chip: “Why don’t you fight in ‘That Form’?”
    Sonic: “Ah ah, that’s because can only available during night time.”
    Chip: “But we have gathered enough materials already! No wonder you are Sonic!”
    Sonic: “Oh oh!”
    Sonic: “So…”

    Sonic: “This is the new ice cream shop!”
    Sonic: “This guy is one of a kind.”
    Sonic: “When customers show up, it will automatically sell ice cream to them.”
    Ice cream shop: “Get your ice cream.”
    Chip: “Chip wants to be the first customer!”
    Chip: “Give me an ice~~cream!”

    Ice cream shop: “Hai, thank you for coming!”
    Ice cream man: “WAAAAA!! MY SHOP!!!!”
    Sonic: “Ouch….OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!!”
    Ice cream shop: “Welcome welcome. Get your ice cream!”
    The Fighting Ice Cream Shop became this village’s specialty…
    Maybe….
    I think….

    omg did Chip just refer to itself in the third person? OwO

    I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT iNAUDiBLE THINKS IT’S PRETTY FREAKIN ADORABLE~~~! Tilde abuse ftw!

    Thinking about how absurd the comic is…hmm, seems to me he’s a manga exclusive character more and more. But maybe this is a preview of the first sidequest? Hmm~
