Wii Sonic release date set

7:46 PM on 01.29.2007   |   World Famous


At last, Sonic fans, a REAL Sonic game will finally see the light. Yes, I'm talking about Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Nintendo Wii -- not that Final Fantasy Sonic crap you had to endure on the 360. SEGA has just announced that Secret Rings will be released Feb. 20 for the Wii. Happy now, Sonic fans? (that is if there are any left)

Am I right in thinking there are none of his faggy friends, and it's essentially a 2D linear game presented in 3D form? If Sega mess this one up, I'll lose all faith in them. Well, I've already lost that... um, I'll eat my shoe.

Summa, have you played this yet? Impressions? It's just that I've been hearing the 360 Sonic game was so bad, I'm skeptical on how good this one could be.

I suppose if you had suggested it might be bad, people would flame you for hatin' on the Wii.

Flame, Flame, Flame. Summa you Wii hater.

Just some preemptive Wii Fanboyism.

Seriously though. Summa have you played it?

Isn't this one meant to be different though? I lose track with the number of Sonic games, its like an outbreak of herpes every time a new system is launched.

Ishaan posted a vid of this a while back didn't he? Was this the one where you can't stop? Where the fuck is he anyway I see he's not over on the right panel any more!!!

He has his own gaming blog somewhere, I hear. I did stop over at Japanator the other day and saw that he posts blog entries there.

If he's left Dtoid that's pretty sad, he had a good interest in titles that weren't the normal GoW sperm inducers. He also IMO wrote some of the best short pieces on here.

@bhive01
If that was a response to my question then. WTF? Dtoid seriously needs a bloopers section where they can put these bad choices for closer inspection.

the last sonic i played was on the gc. my friend had it and i only played it for like 3 minutes and i guess it wasnt er... terrible....

pretty much everything else ive seen has sucked, aside from the old school ones. hopefully this ones better

somewhere on this site is a video, and from that it looks cool, though it kinda reminds me of the crash games which i guess at one point in my life were cool

It says Sonic on it, and it looks like it's in 3D. In other words, it will suck.

I have high hopes that his will be a good one, mainly because it's Sonic stripped down into what makes it so good, ultra-high speed movement and set pieces, and without much of the modern BS that has dragged down the series.

Maybe that with the next-gen Sonic, they've finally hit the bottom of the barrel, and the only way it can go is up. (Although I hear this isn't being done by Sonic team. Then again, that might be a good thing)

There are plenty of Sonic fans left on the Nintendo side of things, Sonic Rush on the DS was amazingly cool!

Sonic has not been good for years. YEARS!

To think that this game will pull out the franchise after taking a decade long console nosedive is insane.

BOOOOOOOOO!

Gimme some Capcom re-boots. Gimme some Konami re-boots. This is not making me happy.

To answer those questions: Yes, I've played the game a couple times. Though, the last time I played it was at that Nintendo event back in September.

It was OK when I played it, though like most Wii games, the Wiimote wasn't as responsive as I thought it would be. But it was hella better than that 360 piece of trash.

Yeah I'm asking myself the same thing. Where the hell is Ishaan?

I think this the sonic to own, If your looking for a 3D sonic thats is. Sure it's on a predetermine path but it got the speed and thats whats sonic is really about, really. The last Sonic I'd played was Adventure and while it wasn't all bad it wasn't Sonic either.

OK, to answer your questions, yea, I'm not working for Dtoid any more. I figured someone would notice this eventually. And no, it has nothing to do with Peter Moore and a penis.

I decided to step down because the differences between me and another member of the staff were starting to affect the site, and I took the decision after thinking over it several times. Yes, it was hard and obviously it was the last thing I wanted to do...but I think it was for the best. A lot of you may not see it this way, but someone had to back down or it would've gotten ugly.

I'm still writing at Jtor and if anyone has any further enquiries, you guys can e-mail me (ishaan.sahdev@gmail.com). I don't want to make a big deal out of this on the site.

It was awesome working at Destructoid while it lasted and I really, really am greatful for all the support you guys gave my posts. I should have made this entry a long time ago and I'm sorry I didn't. Once again, thanks for everything and drop me a mail if you need to know anything else.

Ooo, behind the scenes drama. Good luck to you sir, I've enjoyed your Dtoid posts! Since I'm guessing he might not want to pimp it himself, Ishaan's posting here now.
