Sonic’s 2nd lap on the wii

Friday, August 14, 2009

The new issue of nintendo power features the infamous blue hedgehog, Sonic…wielding a sword?Could this be linked to the recent announcement of wii motion plus? It would definately be interesting to have a game other than wii sports for responsive sword fights.
http://www.games.nl/ have written a preview on the game. After a quick translation, heres a quick summary of the article:
It will be the second game in the storybook series (the first being sonic and the secret rings)
It will focus on the fairy tale/ mythology of King Arthur
Similar to the first game, Sonic will have a female assistant known as Sorceress Merlina
King Arthur is supposedly transformed into the Black Knight and it is up to Sonic to restore order
You start off a farmer and need to earn reputation and points to proceed
You earn reputation points by helping out the villagers
Shadow and Knuckles will also join Sonic as playable characters
Knuckles will be able wield to swords whereas sonic can only use one
Sonic uses the excalibur (the sword is also a character that guides Sonic too)
Sonic will be able to use the sword to traverse and overcome puzzles
It’s hard to form an opinion just yet, especially as the sword seems to take priority over speedy gameplay. Does this mean the on rails gameplay of secret rings has been replaced? Expect to see more of this game at Leipzig.
