Wow, that's very assuring that the game originated on the Wii, very interesting.

Visually, the game look stunning on the Wii. I'm surprised what it's pulling off. These images look great, and reportedly that's how the game currently looks.

Great news indeed. Just read this yesterday and I was quite pleased.

People probably doubt that this game will be Sonic's "return to form". I personally believed that already happened with Secret Rings.

I'm glad the Wii version is the main. Perhaps that means that the screens we saw were actually from the Wii version?

the best bit of info from that list was the Shadow, Amy, Tails, and Knuckles would only be a part of the story, NOT the gameplay. thats a huge sigh of relief because thats what killed the newer Sonic games for me.

Same here, sonic had the best levels of all the characters to. I'm so happy to know that their are no more of those rouge/knuckles levels where you do nothing but search for stones in the ground

I don't doubt the game will be beautiful, but those textures are clearly HD, not the Wii version. The poly count is low, though, so HD textures is pretty much all that the 360/PS3 versions will get.

Couldn't agree with you more. Man this game looks very promising. Will this resurrect the glory that was Sonic??

I will probably be getting this game...

i've been waiting a long time for a decent Sonic game... not to say that all Sonic games have been bad recently... they just didn't do it for me

and for it to be a Wii original or primary console... that's awesome!

Probably not, considering the leaked pictures were in 720p.

That's a bit sad. I was looking forward to playing as Tails or Knuckles, Especially Knuckles.:(

Once they fix Sonic, they can bring more chars in.

Wow, this sounds quite amazing. The facts posted are really promising. I'd like to highlight the ones I think are most important, though.

• The game started development as Sonic Adventure 3.

• Wii version will be a graphical showcase for the system.

• Wii version is the original platform. The PS2 version is a downgraded version of Wii version, and Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will be a graphically updated version.

• It will be played with the nunchuck, not the Wiimote sideways as in Secret Rings.

• Tails, Amy, Knuckles and Shadow are in the game, but only as part of the story.

• No relation with Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 or Sonic and the Secret Rings.

I think those graphics look certainly next-gen cause they are gorgeous and the game sounds awesomeMichael0134567

Probably 360, yes, but the poly count is low, which means the 360/PS3 versions will only get new textures. So the Wii should look like those pictures minus HD.

The game looks good, visually, but so did Secret Rings and that game - in my opinion - was an abomination.ZumaJones07

It wasn't THAT bad. It was fun. It was kind of frustrating, and there were a few problems with it, but it was definitely better than all the 3D Sonic games that came out in the past 3 years.

It's hard to believe those are wii screenshots.michael582

Very likely aren't.

Those are reasons why this game will be amazing.LOLhahaDEAD

I dunno, after Super Mario Galaxy I'd say it looks possible to me that they are.

But even in 480 res pics you can tell those actually are HD textures, so it's 360 for me. But the poly count is so low it's almost certain that they'll keep models for all versions and just upgrade the textures for PS3/360.

Probably 360, yes, but the poly count is low, which means the 360/PS3 versions will only get new textures. So the Wii should look like those pictures minus HD.

I hope and why are they still making PS2 games?

buy sonic ds and iam sad TAILS not playable

So far the only questionable aspect of the game is the werewolf thing, but everything else seems promising.

No playing as lame friends and sidekicks in the story are at a minimum.

Using the speed dash move from Sonic Rush meaning no taking forever to build up speed.

Eggman appears to be a good villan again instead of a side boss or comic relief.

If it was designed primarily for the Wii it means Wii owners will get a nice game with good controls (we hope) but 360 and PS3 owners might not have the nicest looking game in their libraries.

Let's hope this game can be "Sonic's Galaxy."

true but the PS2 has to die at some time

The sooner it Dies the better 3rd Party Wii games will be. The PS2 is the main probelm for the Wii but I wish devolpers would be more like what sega is doing now. Make Wii games then port those to the PS2 not PS2 First.

I'll be glad when the PS2 dies cause it ruins most Wii games when the game is only on Wii and PS2.

why would they post 360 screens for a NINTENDO magazine??r_gam3

Those are the only one available, and anyway the mag says the actual game looks close to those pics.

I wish they could start calling him Dr. Robotnix again...

But this is good news nonetheless.

Looks great! Come on SEGA make this good.
