Get Ready to Run in 2012 with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II
We’ve got a new year’s resolution that’s sure to please gamers worldwide: the iconic blue hedgehog will be making his 2D return in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II in 2012. Following the award-winning success of Episode I, which took the world by storm in 2010, Sonic will continue his journey through the epic Sonic 4 saga on XBLA, PSN, and mobile platforms including the App Store, Android Market and Xbox LIVE on Windows Phone 7. Fans have been eagerly anticipating the next episode in Sonic’s new side-scrolling adventure, and SEGA has been listening closely to their feedback. Armed with all-new character animations and a completely reworked physics engine, Episode II will expand the Sonic 4 storyline with new areas to speed through and new challenges to face. For a sneak peek at what’s in store, including the arrival of a certain high-flying, twin-tailed pal who’s sure to be of assistance, check out the all-new teaser trailer! 
“After twenty years in action, it’s clear that Sonic hasn’t slowed down one bit,” said Haruki Satomi, Senior Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America. “The first entry in the Sonic 4 saga was a major success. We’ve listened to the fans and been hard at work making sure we recapture that same spirit of fun in Episode II. We hope the fans will enjoy it.” Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2 will support Android mobile devices powered by the NVIDIA® Tegra® mobile processor. It will be available on the Android Market and featured on the Tegra Zone app. In addition, SEGA and NVIDIA are working closely together to develop an even more enhanced version for Tegra 3, the world’s first quad-core mobile processor.

Looks like the villain is Metal Sonic. Since this is supposed to be after Sonic CD, then it’s possible. Would be cool.

New graphics engine, new physics engine, Tails as a sidekick, & Metal Sonic. Sounds impressive. But I can’t give a final opinion until they show some gameplay footage.

And we’re back with the worry. Sorry, Sonic 4 a major sucess? It sold 1 million copies across Xbox, PS3, iPhone/Pad and Wii. No idea of the breakdown between the four, but it’s clearly not a rip roaring download game success if it’s 1 million copies after a year being available for sale.
How many has Generations had from its release? Or Sonic CD?
I think Sega need to stop with their plaudits of their own products, get a grip and fix the problems Episode I clearly had, and were voiced extremely loudly by a very large proportion of Sonic’s fanbase.
Fix the rolling physics, remove the homing attack, sort out the style and design, and remember it’s a sequel not a rehash this time around.

1 million copies is alot, I’d like to see you make a game and sell a tenth that much and not call it a success. Srsly people are such whiney asses.
Anyway, I was pleased by the interview about Sonic 4 from gamespot. SEGA always listens to their fans whether or not you want to believe it.

The Music wasn’t even bad. Sure it wasn’t as good as the newer Sonic games but it was decent, I liked it. It felt Nolstalgic. Anyway, Can’t wait to play as Tails!!! I’m gonna be a very happy man! Untill this comes out, I’m gonna be playing with Tails on Sonic CD! Thanks Sega(Sonic Team)!

Also, those complaining it’s not coming to Wii: WiiWare games have a size limit for games, so Nintendo is the fail here, not Sega.

First, where’s the Steam Generations DLC which was slated for 26th December?
Its understandable that it won’t be released on Wii – Episode I had stripped down music because of the download limitation of WiiWare. Sonic CD is a bigger download than 4e1 on Wii, so we can assume e2 will not be possible. There’s a chance Sega may be working with Nintendo to phase out support for Wii in favor of WiiU over the coming months/year. For Wii users who have a PC, download Steam and wait for Ep 1 and 2 to be released on there.
Homing attack doesn’t need to be removed, but levels designed better to make better use of it as well as avoidable sections. What really needs removing from the project is Dimps. If we can’t have that, then their obsession with bottomless pits, curved environments and lack lustre level design need to be addressed.
Its a shame that e2 is going to be a big event. e1 was released just after Sonic Colours on Wii and that was a superior game which could be used to mask e1’s poorer quality. With Generations being so well recieved and a further improvement on Colours (as that was on Unleashed), and the praise for the Sonic CD port, Sonic is on a roll for being good again – e2 isn’t going to be masked by anything, so it’d better be good or we’ll have people moaning about “the cycle” and how Sonic will never be as good as it was…
Fingers crossed it uses Taxman’s physics engine!

Music in E1 was too synthetic and lacked the “awesome” factor from nearly every other Sonic game. It wasn’t that bad, and led to a lot of remixes.
And since it’s being reworked a bit, it’s no wonder it won’t be on the Wii. DLC limitations would completely screw up the game. Didn’t you guys hear about Super Meat Boy and the Wii? Don’t blame SEGA. Sonic 4 E2 is like SMB, it’s not their fault, it’s Nintendo.
Sure, E1 had issues, but eh. As long as it’s a new DECENT Sonic game, I’m in.
Please let there be some homages and throwbacks to old unused assets such as Hidden Palace, or the unused Sound Test band from Sonic 1! Just because Generations celebrates Sonic’s life doesn’t mean it has to stop! Though the link between HP and Ice Cap, while there, just isn’t authentic enough. Besides, at that time, no one really knew since no one really hacked roms.
And there’s a reason why probably everyone is demanding better music. We all know what Jun Senoue is capable of. They ought to use everyone in the sound team.
And again with the music, it was just too synthetic. If other instruments were used, it’d sound better. Much better.

I’m starting to believe that Sega is trying to make us buy new game systems to buy the better Sonic games. I’d at least like to see a 3DS release. :p

Guys, the Wii is at the end of its lifecycle and probably couldn’t cope with the size of Episode II because of the limit on download size for WiiWare. There *could* be a possible Wii-U version, but if such a version exists they wouldn’t be allowed to say anything about it yet. I bought Episode 1 on the Wii so I’m hoping that if I buy Episode II on the 360 then I won’t have to re-buy Episode 1 on the other console for it to lock onto. That would be kinda a mean thing to do to my wallet.
Anyway! I’m still buying it and really looking forward to this. The chap in the video seems to acknowledge that things were perfect and that they’ve worked on them, and to know Soic Team listened to the feedback and made those changes, is good enough for me
Also – I spy Classic Tails’ tails! I recognise that straight zig-zag pattern between the white and orange parts as belonging to Classic Tails rather than Modern Tails 😉 Ohhoho SEGA, what surprises do you have in store for us…? 😉

The sequel really needs to be on the Wii also, you had episode I so why not II? Sega is bound to make more profit if the Wii is included, not to mention it seems to be the only way many of the commenters so far can play it-Myself included actually. Keep it on all the same systems as it was last time, maybe more? But don’t leave the Wii out, unless you want even further dissapoinments on a game you tried so hard to improve after hearing the complaints of the first part.

Come on Copley, I’m sure with the recent load of Sonic games we don’t have a lot to worry about.
Let’s wait for some gameplay footage and a demo to release for us to see how it turns out, but the idea that they’ve reworked a LOT of Sonic 4 should be pleasing just to hear alone. Don’t be so quick to jump down their throat.

I can’t believe no one pointed this out, but I think SEGA pulled a Tanooki on us with Episode “Tails”. Just like the tiny little tail in Super Mario Land 3D hyped the game up.
That’s fine SEGA; you don’t have to acknowledge me, but if this was subliminal, then I am your guru.

Ok, REALLY excited! Now we just have to wait for the WiiWare announcement. Patience, everyone. You know it’s coming. Think about how long we waited for Generations to be announced for 3DS. It just wouldn’t make sense for Episode 2 to NOT be on Wii.
On another note, the music in Sonic 4 was catchy. I liked it. Honestly, the game play is what you should REALLY be worried about. Until then, let’s try and enjoy what Sega’s doing to help our Hedgehog friend.
Playing as Tails in a main series Sonic game for the first time in 6 years? Awesome! You guys should keep making 2D Sonic games even after Sonic 4. Let’s not make such a big deal out of every Sonic game once he’s back. Let’s make this series…. stable, then you guys can put even more focus into coming up with other new titles! I love Sonic, but it’s been constant drama, and I just wanna enjoy the franchise. Let’s give the fans some breathing room once StH4:Ep1 is done.

WOW! Great observation! I wonder if classic models WILL be returning. That would be pretty cool, but it would mess up the continuity s far as Ep.1 is concerned. I guess we’ll just have to wait for the next trailer…..

“I would like to create a new (modern) Sonic if you will for the future ahead…”
This leads me to believe that Sonic’s new model design they mentioned will possibly be a mixture of classic and modern Sonic’s models. If not, then maybe something new like the model they used in Heroes, then the next new one in 06, then in Sonic Unleashed. So it will either be a slight backwards de-evolution of his design or something new once again all together in Episode 2. They change his design in… Sometimes extreme ways like in 06… And sometimes in tiny ways like recent games.
Also, my only hope is, for starters, better backgrounds. In my opinion some seemed like they were still in beta form. Such as Splash Hill Zone’s backgrounds. They just seem like one’s a fan would make, and a young one at that. And secondly, I enjoyed the music, but it was far too short and looped far too much. Such as Dr. Robotnik’s, or Eggman’s if you prefer, second phase music, which looped every 5 seconds or so. Less techno, more length, and the music should be pretty good. And lastly, while I have never complained about it before, yes, the physics. I think one player managed to get Sonic to stick upside down on YouTube somewhere… While I think the un-curling is neat, just fix the standing on ledges and ceilings and… Pretty much everywhere thing, and the whole let go of control stick and stop power break style. Other than that… Hey, you make this fan proud Sonic Team. I am realistic, not a fairy tale and unicorn dreamer like most fans.
And to those who complain about the Wii, as many have already said, when it comes to downloadable titles, it’s nearly impossible to make anything descent for the Wii. If a game is on a disk then anything can be done to the game to make it great, like Sonic Colors, but with the VERY small storage room for each title being… 40mb was it…? Making a great Sonic game is impossible, as you saw from Sonic 4 Episode 1 where even the music had to be down-graded. Nintendo will have there moment in the future, as people said, perhaps with the Wii U, but until further details are given, pleasy give Sonic Team a break. White… Black… Japanese… European… All the people that work on thing’s are humans and fans of what they create just like us.
Consider the feelings of the staff at Sonic Team. When you hurt them with negativity, it lowers there drive to perfect the game’s. They become rushed, stressed, they panic… Just for a while, during the development of this game, applaud them, thank them, and cheer them on. There is a huge difference between negative and constructive fan feedback, and just being irresponsibly and un-constructively rude. Help them raise there esteem. Help them gain what they need to feel proud to be a part of there company.
Praise the company, don’t neglect them.
To the fans here who continuously complain, hasn’t there ever been a moment where you wanted to make something? A fan game? Fan remix? Or maybe something all your own? Wasn’t there a moment where you worked really hard on something and all you got was negativity and comments of being a failure? Think back to your childhood if you have to. Now takwe that negativity and pain you felt and picture yourself as the workers of Sonic Team, especially the one’s who have stayed since near Sonic’s beginning, and times the pain you felt by all the year’s they have recieved it. Imagine how you felt, having so many talk you down, having so many negative people rejecting what you worked on, and then imagine how it must feel having a whole planet, country to country putting you down.
You people would never survive at Sonic Team being designers and such. You would break down and give up within day’s, and for the stronger, within weeks.
…So give them a break. Be realistic. They do what you never could. And that what makes them a team. That’s how they got and why they kept there name.
That’s why they are SONIC TEAM!!!!

Also, to those who played Sonic Generations, did all of you who played the 3DS version notice that the classic model looked exactly like the modern Sonic model when he was riding the fireworks upward at the end of the Sonic Colors stage?
Think with me for a moment, in the cutscene in Sonic 4 Episode 1 where Dr. Robotnik is trying to run away through Splash Hill during the sunset, he throws a fist at the player and Sonic jumps on a rocket and head’s up into space.
The classic Sonic model riding the fireworks looks exactly like modern Sonic did riding that red Tails rocket.

This is probaly a try out than a new game…because of Tails in this episode means same character sequence of genesis Sonic games.
Probably they will use the same team mechanics of Tails/Sonic from Sonic Advanced 3(or similar) due to lack of coop.

Back to topic, can’t wait for this! I played Sonic 4 Ep. I and beat it, and never encountered the “sticking to walls” glitch, so no complaints from me for the first episode.

Sonic is back to being awesome again thanks to sonic colors, and sonic generations.
Sonic 4: Episode 2 is defiantly looking like it is going to be awesome with the inclusion of metal sonic, and tails.
I just don’t want anymore disappointing sonic video games like sonic riders, or that horrible sonic the hedgehog 2006 video game.
I hoping 2012 is going to be another great year for sonic the hedgehog!

The wii u is coming out soon and it will most likely see a release there. And don’t just call me a HD console fan-boy because I was in the exact same situation in 2011 with sonic generations. But even with that said I think the game will be a much better product than the first episode. All new physics and graphics engines automaticly make me want to get this game.

This is my S4.2:
Multiplayer
Double spin dash
Metal sonic races
Better graphics and physics (confirmed!!!)
New and original boss fights and zones
Tails playable
Now of course it would be cool to have classic or new sonic/tails models. But seriously I don’t give a fuck! The gameplay don’t change! Yes keep the spindash and homing attack! Maybe an on-off switch tho for the babies who live off of terrorizing sonic team. But what I truly want sega the most is for this game to not come out on any Nintendo systems! We already think that it’s not gonna happen so keep it that way. Plus, how funny would that be when all the little kids on wii don’t get it!!! I would die laughing HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD

mean while at sega. so what should we do with the next episode? how about this. we’ll use the same crappy graphics and the same crappy physics and the same crappy music and use knuckles as a new character and then we’ll advertise the crap out of knuckles. then we’ll use the same crappy teaser but now with a red striking ball……………. my gosh were geniuses.

so if its not coming for wiiware I will never buy it!
I dont understand why this game not coming for wiiware. episode 1 is really good and I just want it on wii ware, because I dont buy a ps3 or xbox 360 to play sonic 4 episode 2.
…and 1000 wii points doesnt cost the world. 😉
I excuse me for my bad english. 😀

i hope they make the game have online co-op for the story mode, where one person can play as sonic and the other as tails just like the good old days…i know they have “local co-op” but my “second player” lives outta state…but if this game has an online co-op, it would just blow my mind away

SUPER EMERALDS, HYPER SONIC
SUPER TAILS, AN ACUAL FIGHT VS METAL SONIC, BETTER MUSIC
AND FOR GODS SAKE “THE DOOMSDAY ZONE” REMADE WITH THE ORIGINAL DOOMSDAY ZONE SONG
THIS WOULD MEAN ALOT TO ME 😀

Bring back some skills for Sonic from the previous games!(or just make them up!) He must be strong! He’s your mascot! I love SEGA and Sonic(shadow too:D). Even though SEGA doesn’t check the comments, our voices remains stable! Our voices will never fall pitifully to the depth of the sea of sorrow,hatred and despair….I guess ( and hope)

I’ve been looking at the Sega forums and I found that there are many people who want the classic characters back to the Sonic series.Honey the cat is on the list of requests too. In Sonic 4, characters that need to come up with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy are the other classic characters. There are fans of Mighty, Ray, Fang, Bark, Bean and Honey the cat. Sonic4 is the opportunity for the return of classics.

@ C.J
Indeed, the music was lacking tremendously. Only zone that came close to tolerable music was Lost Labyrinth zone, and even then it was far too short & repetitive. Gameplay was fantastic in spite of music.

WHAT!!! It isn’t for the wii!!!
so. not. fair.
Just because you guys don’t like nintendo doesn’t mean you have to keep nintendo console owners from enjoying Sonic the Hedgehog games! C’mon SEGA, don’t be a bad sport. Just because you lost the 16 bit wars doesn’t mean you shouldn’t include StH4Ep2 for the wii or wii u. And no. I’m not buying a ps3 or xbox 360 anytime soon.

Hey sega this is my episode 2 wish list.
1) Optional homing attack
2) Bring back old and new elemental shields
3) Transitional stages like in Sonic 3 and Knuckles
4) Several Metal Sonic Fights
5) Boss rush mode
6) Bring back insta shield and super peel out!
Everything else such as new graphics engine, tails, and better physics has already been anounced. Thank you.

So… Looks like I will NEVER use my Wii points. I was saving them for this, and now I can’t even do that. There’s money down the toilet. I will never put money into online store accounts before what I want to buy comes out again…

@tailsfan: That’s my DA username and a great idea that I’ve been supporting SA3 is smart because it could be a great game if done right and the fans would totally buy into it! Smart business-wise and fun-wise!
@Light is Hope: I wouldn’t go that far. 06 had to many issues. Other than that, most of his games are fun!
@Jessie: Nope. Not yet.
