	Friday Sep 10, 2010 Sonic Colors Tidbits What are these tidbits? Well, they are pieces of information that many of our fans will find interesting/useful/helpful but aren’t big enough for a full-on reveal announcement. So without further ado… 1) Dr. Eggman has built his park after developing a sense of remorse for his past “indiscretions”. Hmm… a likely story. 2) At one point in an early cutscene Sonic “breaks the fourth wall” and talks directly to the gamer. (Actually, its a bit of an aside about whats being talked about at the time. I’m not going to spoil it, because its funny… I think the community will definitely appreciate its intent, let’s put it that way! ) 3) SA-55 (the round red robot also known as “Ergo” by fans) will return, but slightly more jaded than before. Oh and by the way SA-55 ISN’T his name… his name is actually “Orbot”. Since you like Orbot so much, here is his character render in high quality PNG format. He has had a bit of a paint job by the looks of things. 4) Orbot also has a counterpart in this game. Orbot’s compatriot is called “Cubot”, as some detectives have been able to deduce. He’s a cube shaped robot – ‘Cube-Bot’, much like Orbot is spherical, quite literally ‘Orb-bot’ (also an anagram of robot if you hadn’t noticed) who is… er… a little defective shall we say. 5) Tails’ “Miles Electric” handheld device that appeared in Sonic Unleashed makes a re-appearance. 6) The boss you have already likely seen from Tropical Resort is referred to as the “Big Boy” by Dr. Eggman. 7) The curly haired white Wisp is important to the Colors story, and its name is Yakker. He is the Wisp Sonic and Tails communicate with to find out what is going on. A silent guide, if you like, to the world of Wisps. We officially award kudos points to Umiyuri incidentally, who identified the name first (as far as we can see). 8 ) FOXY FACT: Tails can read binary fluently. (So he’s one of the 10 types of people…) 9) Contrary to reports elsewhere, Amy Rose does NOT feature in the story of Sonic Colors Wii. Seriously, unless she’s become an invisible mute post-Unleashed, we’ve seen nothing to indicate otherwise. 10) We will see the “consequences” of Sonic destroying a giant robot… in more than one sense. DUN DUN DUUUNNNN! 11) Oh, okay then here’s Cubot’s character render too. We’ll have some more tidbits as we get closer to the release of Sonic Colors on November 16th!

	129 Responses to “ Sonic Colors Tidbits ” Comment # 1 You really should listen to the fans. I started my life as a gamer with Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast, and since then, I’m a big fan of the blue headhog. The problem is that we, fans, dont have a good 3D Sonic since then. And obviously with the HD era, we could have the best 3D Sonic since Sonic Adventure 2. Nintendo uses very well theyr known trademark so well.. Every gamer that I hear always says “if it is Sega it will be crappy”. Give me a reason (beside the total war series) to be proud, and a good Sonic for Microsoft and Sony’s consoles is what everybody wants. I know I wont be listened, but anyway, I tried to help. Sory for my english. Greetings from Portugal.

Does he speak English or some alien language that Sonic and Tails can somehow understand? Posted by Rick Gonzalez on September 10th, 2010 at 5:29 am Comment # 4 Post “moar” about Sonic Colors! I’ll get Sonic 4, as will everyone. Now I want to know more about the 3D Sonic game no one knew they wanted, but apparently we all do. This game keeps looking better and better. I don’t mind Amy though, so I would have been cool with her inclusion. Heck, any Sonic character introduced on the Genesis/CD is okay by me. There are only 5 of them and the badniks, so they can all stay. Posted by Colin on September 10th, 2010 at 5:42 am Comment # 5 Ha. 10 types. I get it. Smart fox Posted by Cruizer on September 10th, 2010 at 6:33 am Comment # 6 New Robots For Sonic Colors Cool! Posted by Shawndell Rivers on September 10th, 2010 at 7:13 am Comment # 7 Just post moar. Posted by Angel on September 10th, 2010 at 7:46 am Comment # 8 Breaking the fourth wall huh? I’m really looking forward to that! Posted by Naxal710 on September 10th, 2010 at 8:03 am Comment # 9 So… A brand new, and VERY huge revealing about Sonic Colors… Very nice. Worth the wait! Now then… How about that Sonic 4 update as well? Mind posting that on the blogs today too? Posted by Chris K. on September 10th, 2010 at 8:08 am Comment # 10 The haters haven’t arrived yet? This game looks awesome! Not sure abut Cubot and Orbot but okay! I’ll look out for the breaking of the forth wall MOAR! Posted by Blast on September 10th, 2010 at 8:55 am Comment # 11 I like Orbot, and Cubot seems pretty cool. It’s nice to see Eggman have two sidekicks that don’t suck ass ( can I say suck ass? ) like the ones in the 90′s cartoons or Sonic X. Posted by Winterfang on September 10th, 2010 at 9:48 am Comment # 12 Nice Orbot return Sega! Posted by Jonathan Pattison on September 10th, 2010 at 10:15 am Comment # 13 Cool, I’ve already read this over at the Sonic City blog already. Colors is starting to sound more and more interesting each time we get more news about it. So now for the Sonic 4 news. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 10:33 am Comment # 14 Oh and #1, I’m not sure what you’re babbling about but Sega is listening to the fans. The fans wanted a Sonic game where it’s all daytime like stages without the werehog and Sega made Colors for fans who enjoyed Unleashed daytime stages. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 10:46 am Comment # 15 Sega Please Make Amy Rose 13 Year Old On The Next New Sonic Games. Posted by Shawndell Rivers on September 10th, 2010 at 10:55 am Comment # 16 Shawndell (comment 15) Huh…. why the hell should Amy be 13? What would it matter? Oh and C’mon, Pedro (comment 1)… what are you talking about? Darn this game looks awesome!! Posted by Philippe on September 10th, 2010 at 11:14 am Comment # 17 Phillippe Im So Sorry. Posted by Shawndell Rivers on September 10th, 2010 at 11:31 am Comment # 18 I Can’t Wait For This Game It Looks Awesome. Posted by Shawndell Rivers on September 10th, 2010 at 11:39 am Comment # 19 Phillippe ”I MAKE MISTAKES O.K.” Posted by Shawndell Rivers on September 10th, 2010 at 11:49 am Comment # 20 Love the tidbits…the “Sonic-talking-to-the-gamer” thing will probably be an homage to Bugs Bunny! Boy, did I love how Orbot messed around with Dr. Eggman in Sonic Unleashed. Can’t wait to see what Yakker looks like! However, for the “Big Boy” remark by Dr. Eggman…(=( I dunno… Posted by Deven Ciufalo on September 10th, 2010 at 11:59 am Comment # 21 You know I agree with Pedro. If you happen to read this comment and not his go read his. Posted by Th3 Foxtrot on September 10th, 2010 at 12:05 pm Comment # 22 Phillippe I Do Think The Game Will Be Aewsome!!!! I Just Make A Big Mistake Im Sorry. Posted by Shawndell Rivers on September 10th, 2010 at 12:11 pm Comment # 23 @Deven Ciufalo ‘Yakker’ is the white wisp with the curly hair in the teaser and trailer. Watch the latest Sonic Colors trailer and you should see it. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 12:14 pm Comment # 24 Shawndell Rivers, will you stop spamming already? You’ve already apologized, there’s no need to keep dragging it on. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 12:16 pm Comment # 25 @sonicfan I see. Posted by Deven Ciufalo on September 10th, 2010 at 12:22 pm Comment # 26 LOL! I love orbot! he’s always sayin’ “ergo” that’s what I love ’bout him ^^ Posted by TanyaTheHedgehog on September 10th, 2010 at 12:41 pm Comment # 27 O.K. I Will Stop Sonicfan. Posted by Shawndell Rivers on September 10th, 2010 at 12:52 pm Comment # 28 Looking forward to that breaking the fourth wall thing and more Ergo….or he is now called “Orbot” Posted by SONICTH18 on September 10th, 2010 at 1:30 pm Comment # 29 Ergo another process of your hasty actions. Or whatever it was he said in Unleashed. LOL Posted by DieHardSonicFan on September 10th, 2010 at 2:30 pm Comment # 30 Sega… Please, no more childish Sonic games. And please include shadow as an ALT. CHARACTER or in Co-op. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 3:29 pm Comment # 31 Sega, don’t listen to Sonic52789. Fans like him is what dragging the franchise down. I think many of us would rather have a Sonic game that is light hearted and ‘childish’. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 3:51 pm Comment # 32 BTW, why are you constantly telling Sega what they should do (making serious Sonic titles)? Why do you want them to go back to their old ways when they’re trying to improve the games? Colors is getting good reception so far and if this what the critics and fans likes then I don’t see why they should stop making light hearted games. Just cause the story isn’t as serious as SA2 or Sonic ’06 doesn’t mean that its childish. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 4:05 pm Comment # 33 @Shawndell Rivers WTF? DOES THE AGE REALLY MATTER??? O_O AMY IS 12 YRS OLD \: DAT WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE >_< Posted by Truesonic on September 10th, 2010 at 4:30 pm Comment # 34 AMY WONT APPEAR ON THE WII VERSION THEIR SAYING SHE WILL APPEAR ON THE DS VERSION ..ALSO ALONG WITH KNUCKLES (SHADOW WAS PLANNED BUT NOT COMFIRMED) THE REASON WHY THEY PROBERLY DIDN’T APPEAR ON THE WII VERSION IZ CUZ SEGA HAVEN’T FOUND NEW VOICE ACTORS FOR THEM SINCE JASON GRIFFITH,LISA ORITZ AND DAN GREEN (AND THE WHOLE CAST) WERE REPLACED BUT THEY STILL COULD HAVE HAD SHADOW ON THE DS VERSION PLUS SERVERAL OTHERS…SO I DON’T GET WHY THEY WERNT COMFIRMED BUT NEVERMIND..ITS NOT THAT IMPORTANT CANT WAIT FOR ORBOT TO RETURN AND FOR CUBOT TO MAKE IS DEBUT APPERANCE I HOPE ORBOT STILL HAS THE SAME VOICE ACTOR AS UNLEASHED BECAUSE HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB ONLY 62 DAYS LEFT TILL RELEASE HURRY UP ALREADY DX Posted by Truesonic on September 10th, 2010 at 4:36 pm Comment # 35 @Winterfang Meh they didn’t suck ass they were alright i guess…. SONIC X’s DECOE ,BOCOE AND BOKKUN I ONLY LIKED MORE THEY WERE AS FUNNY AS HELL XD Posted by Truesonic on September 10th, 2010 at 4:39 pm Comment # 36 @Winterfang SUCH A SHAME THEY DIDNT APPEAR IN THE GAMES Posted by Truesonic on September 10th, 2010 at 4:40 pm Comment # 37 @sonicfan he dosent understand yet…this is a 3ft 8 inch walking, talking anthropomorphic hedgehog that wears red shoes and can run faster than the speed of sound…how the heck am I suppose to take him serious? @Sonic52789 here’s some advice…let go of the “Adventure Era” you’ll only be disappointed (thats what I did when I used to expect all the new Sonic titles to be like the originals) you shut out new ideas and possibilities…truthfully I’m tired of playing “serious” Sonic games. Posted by Jmack on September 10th, 2010 at 4:45 pm Comment # 38 @Sonicfan – Don’t have Sega listen to me?! Trust me, I Guaranty once this game comes out, You would all love the game-play, but would think that the story is too childish. And, “Fans like me” isn’t what’s dragging the fanbase down, it’s fans like You! Before Sonic 4 or Sonic colors was announced, all you old school fans would always BEG Sega to bring back the “old school” Sonic. And Like I stated before, There are 3 Sonic fanbases: Epic/Cool/Dark Childish Old-School SEGA stated them-selves: We could not please all Sonic fans with one game. First they might please Childish, then Old-school, and then Epic/Cool/Dark. And another thing Sega stated, and this is what they said about SONIC COLORS “The general difficulty of Sonic Colours will suit younger fans; zones still fly by and you’ll wonder at times just how much control you actually have. But each level is crammed, throwing you from one experience to the next. Couple that with the vibrant, colourful new world though and hopefully older Sonic fans will have enough to go at too. ” So that just proves that this game’s story will be childish. And I’M the one telling Sega what to do (making serious Sonic titles)?! Your’e the one Saying that ALL Sonic titles should be “light-hearted” and “childish”. And I’m not telling Sega “What to do”. I’m giving suggestions! Kind of like what fans like you do all the time asking for Sega to “keep it simple”. And if games like Sonic 06 and Shadow the Hedgehog had better game-play, or solid 2D, fans like you would have LOVED IT! And don’t say you wouldn’t because I know that’s not true. Old-School and childish fans like you Only care about game-play, so why would you care if the story is dark?!?! Sega, please listen to ALL fans. Not just old-schoolers. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 4:46 pm Comment # 39 @Jmack – I don’t understand yet?! UNDERSTAND WHAT?!?! Sonic is a creative idea. What know what I don’t get?(I know this is off topic but…) Why people loved the random characters in Mario, the movie Avatar (they are Talking blue monkey’s for cryin’ out loud!), and other things like that! And, I will NEVER let go of the Adventure Era. Just like how most fans never let go of the old-school Sonic. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 4:51 pm Comment # 40 Look, I will now stop complaining on this thread. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 4:52 pm Comment # 41 I used to be like Sonic53789, always wanted Sega to make ‘serious’ Sonic games…..until I’ve played Sonic 06 and it turned me away from ‘serious’ Sonic titles forever. I just Sega want to do what they feel is right for the franshise and not go back to making wrong choices again where the series is getting alot of criticism for. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 4:52 pm Comment # 42 Unless someone argues back (sonicfan). As long as they stay quite, I will. (sorry for posting 4 comments in a row. I didn’t mean to spam) Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 4:53 pm Comment # 43 @Sonicfan – The series is getting critisim for the game-play, not the seriousness. Read my comment. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 4:54 pm Comment # 44 “Don’t have Sega listen to me?! Trust me, I Guaranty once this game comes out, You would all love the game-play, but would think that the story is too childish. And, “Fans like me” isn’t what’s dragging the fanbase down, it’s fans like You! Before Sonic 4 or Sonic colors was announced, all you old school fans would always BEG Sega to bring back the “old school” Sonic.” Sonic games has simple chidish stories before Sonic Adventure 2 came out so what are you getting at? And how I dragging the series down when all I want is for Sega is to make better choices for their Sonic games? You’re the one who being selfish cause all you’re thinking about is yourself, you don’t care about the state of the Sonic series at all. Plus, I wasn’t one of those oldschool Sonic fans who is begging for oldschool Sonic back. I LIKE the 3D games, I just don’t like all the bad choices Sega makes in them Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 4:59 pm Comment # 45 “The series is getting critisim for the game-play, not the seriousness. Read my comment.” And pretty much everything else. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 5:02 pm Comment # 46 TO ME THE ONLY BAD 3D GAME WAS SONIC 06 (GLITCHES,PROBLEMS ETC) I HATE HOW PEOPLE PICK ON ONE THING ON GAMES THEIR LIKE “OHHH NO THE WEREHOG IS THE ONLY BAD THING IN THIS GAMMME OOOHH IT SUCKS THE GAME SUCKS ITS AN EPIC FAIL :/ NO MATTER HOW SEGA TRIES HARD THEIRS ALWAYS GONNA BE ONE SONIC FANBOY/GIRL COMPLAINING ABOUT STUPID,SMALL THINGS,GIMMICKS,V/A CHANGES,SONIC’S EYE COLOUR :/ AND DESIGN,THE BIG CAST OF SONIC CHARATCERS (PEOPLE LIKE NOAH18118,AKNOTHOLERESIDENT,TESTIS281 ETC) Posted by Truesonic on September 10th, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 47 I MEAN MY LEAST FAVOURITE SONIC GAME WAS 06…IM NOT SAYING IT SUCKED ASS IT HAD A GOOD STORYLINE AND STAGES THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS IT WAS RUSHED….AND HAD MANY GLITCHES,PROBLEMS I THINK THEY SHOULD PATCH IT Posted by Truesonic on September 10th, 2010 at 5:09 pm Comment # 48 @Sonicfan – Look… Your dragging down the series AND being selfish because whenever Sega makes an announcment about an Epic/Cool/Dark game to please my fanbase, I hear “NOOOO!” or “Aw man!” from your fanbase. It’s bringing down the series because your always talking bad about Sonic. And I never talk bad about Sonic, I just give suggestions. And your being selfish because, the Old school and childish Sonic fans aren’t the only Sonic fans. There are some Epic/Cool/Dark Sonic fans like me. And I’m okay with Sega pleasing your fanbase with Sonic 4 and Sonic Colors, considering the past couple Sonic games were serious I figure it’s your fan-bases turn. What’s bugging me is you saying that ALL Sonic games should be like this. When there should be a balance: Old-school, Epic/Cool/Dark, childish. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 5:11 pm Comment # 49 “Unless someone argues back (sonicfan). As long as they stay quite, I will.” Keep in mind that you’re always the one who starts this shit up in just EVERY, SINGLE Sonic Colors article. And no I wouldn’t like Sonic ’06 and Shadow even if those games had good gameplay cause the stories is still shit and doesn’t seem like I’m playing a Sonic game. Get that through your thick skull. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 5:13 pm Comment # 50 @truesonic – Couldn’t agree more. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 5:13 pm Comment # 51 @Sonicfan – look, it doesn’t make you “cool” to swear, quote me, and ect. And I know I start this stuff up in every Sonic Colors article, but to be honest, This one was going to be my last complaint. I was getting sick of it to. But thanks to your comment, I might keep it up for even longer. I don’t want any problems with you, so just drop it. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 5:16 pm Comment # 52 “”@Sonicfan – Look… Your dragging down the series AND being selfish because whenever Sega makes an announcment about an Epic/Cool/Dark game to please my fanbase, I hear “NOOOO!” or “Aw man!” from your fanbase. It’s bringing down the series because your always talking bad about Sonic.” Shut up Obviously you don’t know nothing about me cause Im not one of those people who is always talking bad about Sonic. If I’m always talking bad about Sonic then I wouldn’t be a Sonic fan anymore. Don’t group me with the rest of the fanbase who is doing the bitching Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 5:18 pm Comment # 53 @Sonicfan – Again, your not cool when you swear, or when you tell me to shut up. And please calm down, you obviously are getting angry. And again, since you didn’t understand the first time, JUST DROP IT. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 5:23 pm Comment # 54 “look, it doesn’t make you “cool” to swear, quote me, and ect. And I know I start this stuff up in every Sonic Colors article, but to be honest, This one was going to be my last complaint. I was getting sick of it to. But thanks to your comment, I might keep it up for even longer.” I’m not trying to be ‘cool’, thats just how I talk cause you’re making all these idiotic assumptions. Okay, well I just hope that Sega doesn’t listen to you and make the right choices for their games Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 5:24 pm Comment # 55 Time for what I think of this article: Great! All those announcments makes me think of what your talking about. I know the game will be great. The childish story thing kinda bugs me but, I will get over it. Nice work SEGA! Can’t wait! Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 5:26 pm Comment # 56 @Sonicfan – I hope Sega ignores you. You are being selfish. You don’t have the only fanbase BTW. The right choice for Sega is to listen to ALL fans, not just you. And when you insult me, “thick skull” “idiotic assumptions”, I insult back. And I know your going to resond to this with a hate comment, so I will be the one to drop it. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 5:29 pm Comment # 57 Ignore me at what, exactly? I like how Colors and Sonic 4 is looking. You make no sense. I’m not the one who is constantly complaining about the Sonic games being ‘childish’. You’re the one who wants Sega to go back to making dark Sonic games when everybody else seems to hates them. That’s what I’m mean by you being selfish cause you don’t want Sega to get better. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 5:38 pm Comment # 58 Okay, I’m willing to drop it as long as you don’t say nothing back to me Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 5:42 pm Comment # 59 @Sonic52789 Ok let me rephrase what I said earlier…I didn’t mean to say “let it go” what I meant was don’t cling to the Adventure Era so much to the point that you won’t let new ideas in. I was in the exact same shoes as you are now (concerning Sonic of course lol) when Sonic Heroes first came out and I played it I was like “what the heck is this kiddie crap!!!…I want Adventure esque story!!!”. Now replaying Heroes since 2005 I noticed something I hadn’t noticed back then…the game was just pure fun!!! They weren’t worried about a huge complex story…they just made a fun game for people to enjoy despite the game getting quite too kiddie at times cough Team Rose cough. I did notice also that the fanbase is not split in two but divided into three. In your category specifically it’s not cool/epic/dark because all three categories can be considered “cool” and “epic” and the “kiddie” category isn’t necessarily kiddie it’s just “light-hearted” as in not serious (Dora the Explorer is what I consider kiddie). I am all three Era’s (Old-school, Adventure Era, and New-School) and my view on a good Sonic game is (Gameplay/Story/Music) if all three of these work in harmony then I hold the game in high esteem (even if the story is at a minimum). To me…if one of these three fail…the entire game fails to deliver an authentic Sonic experience. So far the only games that deliver entirely are Sonic 1, 2, 3, Knuckles, and…Sonic Heroes, every other game I either had a problem with Gameplay, Story, Music, a combination of two categories or all three (which is Sonic 06′ “VERY ANGRY FACE”). So the only category left to deliver is the New-School category. All I’m saying to you is be open with other Ideas and the other categories…not trying to jump on your case, just helping you to be diverse, because if you see Sonic as “It’s not that, it’s this” then you’ll constantly be disappointed. Posted by Jmack on September 10th, 2010 at 6:43 pm Comment # 60 Yakker… Interesting name for the curly hair White Wisp. Please. More updates! And what happen to the 2P mode? Posted by Hyper-sonicX on September 10th, 2010 at 7:24 pm Comment # 61 I dont see Sonic games as “serious” or “childish” I see the Sonic games as basic storylines with gameplay based around speed with a differnt twist each game…..I’m a Die Hard Sonic Fan,and I see this war over “serious” v.s “childish” ganera happen alot…and I think its pointless cause its the same characters…same personality and same gameplay..(occasionally)..every game so nothings “serious” and nothings “childish”…..its just a franchise Posted by SONICTH18 on September 10th, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 62 Wow. Orbot has competition. Heh heh. Anyway thanks SEGA for the info.! Posted by Sonic Hog on September 10th, 2010 at 8:09 pm Comment # 63 This game is ganna PWN Posted by SONICTH18 on September 10th, 2010 at 10:12 pm Comment # 64 @Jmack – You make a good point. I also had a problem with Sonic Heroes at first (You had to do the same stages 4 times in order to unlock the Super Sonic stage), But like you, now that I play it again, it’s actually pretty fun. I just, love the Adventure era so much. But, I guess I could be open to new things to (example: I’m planning on buying Sonic 4). I won’t mind this game being childish in all anymore, I got over it. Besides, the game-play looks pretty fun! But one things for sure, I will ALWAYS be an Adventure era fan. Thanks for the advice (to be open to all fanbases) Jmack. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 10:40 pm Comment # 65 OH! And for those of you wondering “What happen to 2P mode?”(Hyper-sonicX) If you want to see it, check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMdwLrry2MM&feature=related Posted by Sonic52789 on September 10th, 2010 at 10:52 pm Comment # 66 I’m glad to see that you’re finally opening up even if the ligher tone of the new Sonic games isn’t your thing. A Sonic game with a lighter story isn’t always a bad thing. Posted by sonicfan on September 10th, 2010 at 11:43 pm Comment # 67 I think this game will be great, the only thing that concerns me is the difficulty. I dont want to finish it in 1 day, make it like smg2 that took me a long time to finish. o and stop fighting about which way sonic should go as long as its fun everithing is ok. Posted by player588 on September 10th, 2010 at 11:58 pm Comment # 68 I hope Hyper Sonic is in this game. He would apply here very nicely. I mean, come on! Sonic COLORS with a form that makes you flash in 7 COLORS? You’ve got to admit that that goes together really well, right? And if he ISN’T in this game, I’ll just assume that SEGA was thinking: “No, too obvious…” Which would be stupid. Posted by sonictheawesomeface on September 11th, 2010 at 7:40 am Comment # 69 Well I don’t mind if Amy isn’t in the game to me Sonic, Tails and Eggman are enough. Also I am looking forward to the 4th wall bit ^^ and Orbot gotta love him in Unleashed :3 Posted by Starway on September 11th, 2010 at 8:47 am Comment # 70 @Starway – What is the “fourth wall” anyway? Posted by Sonic52789 on September 11th, 2010 at 9:23 am Comment # 71 The fourth wall is not beeing able to have a “comunication” with the player. If Sonic breaks this wall, then Eggman will break the “fith wall” and be sitting on your sofa eating your sandwish in a matter of 5 seconds. (Unleashed reference) Posted by sonic matters on September 11th, 2010 at 10:11 am Comment # 72 @ Sonic52789 the fourth wall or as its supposed to be called “Breaking the 4th Wall” meens that a character steps out of dialogue and talks to the audience…or person watching Posted by SONICTH18 on September 11th, 2010 at 10:40 am Comment # 73 @ Sonic52789 I have to agree with Sonicfan on this one. He and I don’t share the same view on Sonic (I LOVE old school 2D Sonic, he likes 3D Sonic) But the point is not about old school vs Epic/cool/whatever. What makes a good Sonic game? Is it the story? the game play? the characters? the universe in witch the game take place? I guess a bit of all of the above. But people, mostly younger kiddies that did’nt witness the awesomeness of Sonic on the Genesis seem to focus on things that are irrelevent to the Sonic – GAMES -. I mean, why put SO MUch passion into the story line of recet Sonic games? Why is it so important? you look like star wars nerds, trying to bind every Star wars books, movies, games, etc. together. WHO CARES?? ITS FRIGGIN’ SONIC THE FRIGGIN’ HEDGEHOG!!! HE’S A BLUE HEDGEHOG!! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!?!? It’s not a tom clancy novel, its not the fellowship of the ring, its SONIC!!! A — CARTOON — !! It’s really a shame that the younger kiddies seem to think that to be epic you need a story bigger than the bible, the Coran or what ever holy book there’s in this world. Why try to make complicated story, with twists, emotion (and bestiality, àlà Sonic 06)… anny way. What I’m trying to say here, remember the ending in Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and the ending in Sonic 3 & Knuckles (with Super Sonic) ? THAT was F*ING epic. Did we need over the top story with emo black hedgehog? No. Did we need a silver hedgehog from the futur? no. What we had was Sonic, a friend, a Rival, a bad guy that wants to conquer the world, for no apparent reason other than “he’s the badguy”. that all. make a game around this story. SEGA seems to have found what works in a Sonic game; simple story, “kid friendly”, and accessible. with a great gameplay setup. If they stick to that in Sonic Colors, and Sonic 4. then everybody will be happy. Please, shadow fans, stop wasting time whinning about how you want an epic/cool/ whatever Sonic game with 34+ characters, with swords, rings, Shadow’s “chaos control” (sssshhheeesshhh…… LAME)…. and enjoy what Sonic is all about. A fun game without glithes (first of all),with entertaining levels, great challenges that makes uses of your brain as much as your reflexes (no press foward and let the game play itself). Posted by Philippe on September 11th, 2010 at 11:05 am Comment # 74 @SONICTH18 – Oh, kind of like Dora the Explorer…..great. But this game is supposed to have humor so I’m guessing this is one bit of it. So I guess Sonic is mocking it. lol. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 11th, 2010 at 11:06 am Comment # 75 @Philippe – First of all, could you please stop calling Shadow emo, cause he’s not. Secondly, like I said before, there are many different fanbases. You’re obviously mainly an old-school fan which explains why you are backing it up so much. But maybe you could also be open to all fan-bases like me, so you won’t get disappointed if an epic/cool/dark sonic game comes out. Sega Sonic Team tries to please ALL fanbases, not just yours. And, when I ask for things like 34+ characters, I’m talking about a multi-player option. I mean, putting ALL characters in the story would be a mess. But, in multi-player it would be fine. And the “swords” was in only 1 Sonic game. ONE. And the rings have been there from the begginning, Genesis – Present. So… I don’t know why your complaining about those. And don’t pick on chaos control. Another thing, were not acting like “star wars nerds”. Because all those people care about is a franchise. But, I don’t know about you people, but my life isn’t just sonic. I go wakeboarding, hang out with friends, play sports, ect. I just play sonic when I just feel like playing a video game. And if you notice, ALL Sonic games after SA2, got bad reviews. You know why? Because Sega kept trying to top SA2. I still think they could but, according to the critics, they didn’t for a while. So Philippe, All I’m asking is that you don’t just stick to “Simple Sonic”, you will miss a lot of good Sonic games. Posted by Sonic52789 on September 11th, 2010 at 11:22 am Comment # 76 Sonic52789 You have many good points, but I need to rectify somethings The sword was a bad Idea from the start, And I think we, the fans, need to make sure SEGA remembers what they did with this game, so they never -EVER- make another game like this one. The rings, I meant the ring in Secret ting… I don’t want them to remove the rings, it’s like Mario’s Coins, or Link’s rupees… you get the Idea. And I stick to what I said, about Star wars nerds, I don’t mean -you- act like one, but like what you said, after SA2, they tried to top this one, so they tried to continue and expand on the story arc, witch I think you’ll agree, has become a mess. What upsets me is that people try to defend this whole -post SA2- universe by justifying what happened here and there… there is no point to that, I think… Oh, and I never tried wakeboarding…. I’m a little wuss when it comes to water… Another thing, don’t get me wrong, I totally understand that you were talking about multiplayer, not 34 characters in a game… Still, I dont like when a Sonic game hase more character developpement than a Final Fantasy game. About “Simple Sonic”… What I want is a Sonic game that is complex in a way that you have a lot of different options to pass a level. I want complexity in subtility. Again… like the old Sonic… but yeah… I’m an old scool fan.. still, I loved SA2, more than the first one… And I want a simple story, that is fun and engaging. Like Sonic Colors! A simple story can be EPIC. Epic dosent nececerally means complex.

Like it better than Sonic 4?” Yes, so far. I’d like Sonic Unleashed daytime stages and always thought that if Sega made a Sonic game based around that then it would’ve been the best 3D Sonic title in a long time. Sonic 4 looks cool too, but all the drama and the controversy over Sonic 4 made me lose some interest in the game and that’s why I’m more interested in Colors now. Posted by sonicfan on September 11th, 2010 at 2:43 pm Comment # 88 Ok, Sega, you’re doing great so far, but I have a few major problems. 1, WHY THE HELL ISNT AMY IN SONIC COLORS? I want a straight forward answer and I don’t want anyone else telling me. Amy is my 2nd favorite sonic character, yes 2ND!! (next to sonic) And not only that, why did you bring her characteristics down? She not so annoying with her love anymore, which was what made her funny. 2, Hows is this targeted for kids? You have the writters of Madworld and Happy Tree Friends creating the story, Roger Smith, Who voice Ezio and Chris from rated M games, and consequences, which only addapts the story more. And 3, Whats the story of Sonic Colors? (After Eggman creates a park and Sonic must save the day). I think with two months before the release we need to know more than the first 5 minutes. This isn’t a major problem, but how your marketing the game is killing me to know more. Posted by Chris Sabo on September 11th, 2010 at 2:48 pm Comment # 89 The game is for everyone.

I’m so ecxited… I try to find something bad about this game and i find nothing. Keep up the good work, sega! Posted by philippe on September 11th, 2010 at 7:07 pm Comment # 94 @Truesonic I’ll tell you my honest opinion on why I didn’t like Sonic Unleashed (completely)…to me it didn’t feel like a Sonic game. The only good parts in Sonic Unleashed were the Opening cutscene, the music, the production value and the daytime stages. Now I say the opening cutscene because it made the game feel like it was going to be “EPIC” and it failed to maintain that same theme the entire game…none of the rest of the game felt epic after that cutscene. Next is the Story…(you have to agree with me to some degree on this to understand) the story basically was and constantly has been the same in every game as Sonic Adventure 1 (where Sonic runs into Eggman, Eggman tells Sonic he’s taking over the world, Eggman puts all his “eggs” into some monster or creature thing, Eggman doesn’t have control over the monster making the monster the real villain, Sonic turns into Super Sonic to defeat the monster, reflections, the end) I was tired of that same old type of story by the end of Sonic 06′…it’s time to move on. Now let me get into what’s really important…the gameplay. The daytime stages were fantastic I had never played anything like it before but the nighttime stages…were slow battling segments that would get annoying really quick due to the horrible music that played everytime you fought something. Even when you leveled the Werehog up and you found out how to play the levels quicker it was still boring and I would much rather just run really fast. And why a Werehog??? They could’ve took another direction than a Hedgehog turning into a Werewolf…if they made those same levels, made them a tad bit faster moving and threw Knuckles in place of the Werehog…that would have been alot more tolerable. The segments where you would fly in the airplane with Tails were okay not super fun or boring. The hub-worlds were unnecessary and they were there only as a means to waste time and make the game longer…(if at any point I’m playing a game and it feels like I have to do “chores” to get to the next fun level for the sake of expanding playing time is wrong). They introduced ANOTHER NEW CHARACTER…instead of building on the relationship with the already established characters (which by the way are losing their character with every new game released “hopefully Sonic Colors is a different story”) they have more than enough characters…just use them. And finally (this is my own personal theory) humans are in the game…why? Eggman should be the only human in the game…humans suck the fantasy and creativity right out of the game…which is what Sonic is trying to prevent Eggman from doing in the first place. Think about it…humans are only there to make it feel like when Sonic is saving the world he’s actually saving someone. Every since humans entered the Sonic universe, for some reason there have been less and less “outlandish” level designs/themes…you tell me when was the last time you saw a level where you’re surrounded by an ocean made out of oil? Any time you played a level on Sonic Unleashed you were always in a village or a town. How about they replace humans with animals. Like I said before it just didn’t feel like a Sonic game to me. There were too many things and ideas that were left out or forgotten. Other than Sonic Heroes when was the last time you played a special stage and actually earned the Chaos Emeralds…in a 3D Sonic game? There’s too much realism in the game and not enough room for fantasy. I’ll stick with Sonic through thick and thin, but as far as new gameplay elements go…you evolve what made the game fun in the first place…not sweep it under the carpet.

EGGMAN NEGA VS BLAZE SONIC RUSH SERIES (SILVER DOESN’T APPEAR IN THEM) EGGMAN NEGA VS SILVER SONIC RIVALS SERIES 9BLAZE NEVER APPEARED IN THEM) PLUS EGGMAN NEGA AND EGGMAN ARE AGAINST EACH OTHER IN THE SONIC RIVALS SERIES (MAYBE TO SEE WHO IS THE EVILEST/SMARTEST OUT FOR THEM 2…..?) BUT THEY WORK TOGETHER IN THE RUSH SERIES O_o AND ITS UNKNOWN IF SILVER AND BLAZE STILL NO EACH OTHER SINCE THE EVENTS IN 06 WERE ERASE….(THEY ALSO APPEARED IN THE MARIO/SONIC CROSSOVER) (Sorry ive typed quite a lot XD) Posted by Truesonic on September 12th, 2010 at 6:13 am Comment # 100 @Jmack Sonic And The Black Knight- OH THE SWORD SUCKS, THE V/A SUCKS, ITS BORING,REPETITIVE,CLUNKY ,CRAP LEVELS Voice acting is not that important…..but the 4Kids Cast actually improved a lot ..( I liked 4Kids from Shadow The hedgehog To All Stars Racing) THE BEST V/A WORK IMO WAS SATBK,SONUC UNLEASHED AND RIVALS 2 THEY WERE ACTUALLY GOOD IN ALL GAMES Jason was only medicore/sucked in Sonic X (Season 1) but improved on season 2 and 3 I liked this game but UNLEASHED FTW! (sorry to say that XD) Good Graphics(not that importannt but meh) Nice levels ,Good Voice Acting ,They put a lot of effort into the game People need to relise we can’t always have 2D ,loop to loops ,swings ,hidden areas etc For me this was A Good Sonic Game ….:) Mario And Sonic At The Olympic (Summer/Winter) Games I liked this series Sonic and Mario teaming up,face to face battling again awesome its really fun The Olympic Winter Games i liked much better than the summer and it improved a lot,I like the little lines the V/As say Both Games great but The second one is better ;D Sonic And Sega All Stars Racing WHY IS SONIC IN A CAR..OH NO NIGHTS ,NO TOEJAM AND EARL :’( SONIC DONT NEED A CAR D: HES THE FASTEST THING ALIVE People need to think before they act/say/type They tried doing this but it didn’t work …It would have been difficult like Sonic R (which was awful) And of course hes the fastest thing alive ….he would beat everybody and it would be unfair cause no one can keep up with sonic (except shadow of course) …thats why hes in a car and its funny how nobody complains about Shadow being on a bike and hes just as fast as sonic huh (he was on a bike in shaodw and 06 2) Their was no time to add more charatcers…hopefully next time we wil see more… This Game had great levels,fun activities..they should of had more charatcers and levels (if they make another 1) ITS MUCH BETTER THAN MARIO KART WII BUT THE OTHER MARIO KARTS ARE BETTER They did a great job with this MAKE SEGA FIGTHERS FOR THE NEXT SUPERSTAR SERIES THAT WOULD BE AWESOME X) Id change the theme song though it doesn’t fit :/ AWESOME GAME THIUGH Posted by Truesonic on September 12th, 2010 at 6:35 am Comment # 101 @Truesonic I know how you feel when people condemn a Sonic game before they get their hands on it. I’m always optomistic about any Sonic game before it comes out (even if I see something that makes me iffy about it). I only give my fair review on it after I’ve played the entire game. Every one of those games you named off I was optomistic about and it wasn’t until I played them fully that I either approved or disapproved of it. I’m incredibly optomistic about Sonic Colors because (unlike all the other games you named off) I haven’t seen anything from it yet that has made me “Iffy”. Anyone who won’t give new ideas a chance will always be stuck in a box. P.S. When people say “Sonic wasn’t meant for 3D” that may be one of the dumbest statements I’ve ever heard. As long as they (the obvious old-schoolers who made that statement) keep thinking like that, they’ll never accept any new idea unless it plays like the originals. Posted by Jmack on September 12th, 2010 at 11:13 am Comment # 102 @Jmack Exactly You my friend are a true sonic fan I couldn’t have said it better myself XD And people like anotholeresident(though he apologised earlier) are still complaining about sonic 4 because of the design and green eyes up to now XD Posted by Truesonic on September 12th, 2010 at 12:05 pm Comment # 103 @Treusonic but you also have to understand…(aside from spin-offs (Sonic and the Secret Rings, All-Stars Racing…etc.)) in order for the mainstream Sonic games to be accepted by the “majority” they can’t stray too far away from what makes a Sonic game a Sonic game…they have to retain the same formula as the originals. Think of it like this…in the originals there was always “The Main Game” and “Side Games” (Ex. Main Game = platforming, run, jump, and rolling at high speeds. Side Games = Collecting Chaos Emeralds, Slot Machines, Gumball Machines…etc.) they never “forced” you to play the side games, they always gave you a “Choice”. So if it is absolutely MANDATORY for me to collect something to advance to the next level…thats not fun, I feel like I’m doing chores. Also if my formula for moving and destroying enemies are being forcibly tampered with too much then the game seems less appealing. A “boost meter” and the “homing attack” and “sliding” are examples of taking the original formula and evolving it. But forcing completely different gameplay formulas on the player is “not fun”. It’s a problem of “forcing” and “choosing”. If you had a choice between playing with the Werehog or not then I think critics and fans would have been less brutal toward the game. Posted by Jmack on September 12th, 2010 at 12:08 pm Comment # 104 @Truesonic thanx for the compliment Posted by Jmack on September 12th, 2010 at 12:15 pm Comment # 105 @Jmack No Problem I totally respect your opinion Yeah An option For Knuckles Or Sonic The Werehog would have been good Although He and Shadow were Scrapped I still liked the Game better than previous And I hope Colors will have longer daytime levels (like the XBOX/PS3 VERSION OF SONIC UNLEASHED) Posted by Truesonic on September 12th, 2010 at 12:40 pm Comment # 106 Hopefully this will be as good as Unleashed (which was epic IMO) BUT ILL ADMIT IM GONNA MISS THE 4KIDS VOICE CAST BUT I UNDERSTAND ITS TRYING TO START AFRESH AND THIS WAS ANNOUCED MONTHS AGO….

I WISH ROGER AND KATE COULD LUCK AND WE WILL WE SEE NEW PEOLE WHO WILL HAVE CHARACTERS ROLES (FOR ME JASON WAS THE ONLY SONIC BUT V/As aren’t that important) 2 MORE WISPS TO GO (BLUE WISP AND PURPLE WISP) AND THEN WERE DONE X] Posted by Truesonic on September 12th, 2010 at 3:32 pm Comment # 107 To me, Sonic was best in the Adventure series.

Posted by Heart on September 21st, 2010 at 4:44 am Comment # 125 @Yeah Or Sleet and Dingo….EVEN DECOE AND BOCE AND BOKKUN XD Posted by Truesonic on September 22nd, 2010 at 8:37 am Comment # 126 You guys are soooo immature… 3 fanbases? Cool/Dark, Childish and Oldschool? Well, fine. I, personally, love all 3. Childish can always be fun, see Super Mario Galaxy. Oldschool is my favorite, but only because they were good. Sonic 4 and Colours are promising to be good. That’s awesome. As for Dark/Epic, that’s good, but you need good storylines, which Sonic games built around this conspicuously lack. A game just has to be creative, varied, smart, fresh and FUN! GO SEGA GO!!!!! Posted by Super Volcano on September 28th, 2010 at 2:07 am Comment # 127 @super Volcano I know right? SONIC52789 WAS SO WEIRD MENTIONING THAT XD DARK/COOL OLDSCHOOL,EDGY? WTF? THIS IS MESSED UP Posted by Kacey on October 3rd, 2010 at 9:17 am Comment # 128 Pingas!!
