That's the topic on the original Nintendo Power scans...
Could it be another Secret Rings type adventure?
Hiro EDIT: Should have noted this before, but credit for the find goes to Rabid, who pointed it out to me in IRC.
Hiro EDIT 2: Changed topic title to avoid confusion
Buwahahaha. Ironic I just closed a window showing that picture 10 seconds ago. You cannot honestly believe......thats real.
do you?
do you?
do you?!?!
do I? >___> NO!!
i was just looking for a topic to see if anyone else knew anything about this. :p sonic with a sword, what the heck?
Unfortunately I do not possess enough facepalm images to post in this thread 
also this game might be for that "motion plus" bs...
ooooh so Dead Rising IS coming to the Wii. Well that part is real at least.
People thought the last issue NP teaser was that it was going to be a Kingdom Hearts 3 announcement for the Wii.
Imagine their disappointment when it turned out to be this. 
Game Franchise over.
This game can only win if it's General Ike's Black Knight.
Still, I'll wait until I see what's inside the magazine before we run to the OMG THE SKY IS FALLING wagon like always.
Afterall, Unleashed is still looking... ok.
Well, I think it sounds pretty cool, and it's a Wii exclusive, which means it won't be limited to being a crappy PS2 port with waggle.
Sonic confirmed for Soul Calibur 5!
So this will be the "medeival" answer to the placing Sonic in olden tales like Secret Rings did, I take it.
Well the gauntlet is a definite improvement over this SA2 equipment, but that sword looks completely out of place in Sonic's hands. Actually, the sword would probably look out of place held by ANY character from the SegaSonic Universe.
I gotta say Sonic pretty bad ass in that pic.
You know I find it strange that no one has posted scans of magazine article yet.
i thought it was a hoax .
OMG. Sonic's gonna go fiiiishiiiing and ride in boats and wander around in dungeoooons. Golly, I hope we get costume options. and ...and...who'll be his Navi? Tikal or Saharah?
Watch out for the chickens, Sonic! Look out for the piggiiiiiiiz!
Hey look at it this way at least is not a sport title(see Mario).
Say any one think this game could be for the WiiWare?
this can't be real. thats too many Sonic games at once.
<<Hey look at it this way at least is not a sport title(see Mario). >>
But if it features Sonic sword-waggle that wouldn't make it better.
Yes just yes this game will be so bad it will be good, I thought the whole arabians night thing was great in secret rings & now sonic's going to be in medivel England this is pricless.
I will deffinantly buy this game if its the Black Knight from monty Python.
But Seriously im Like WTF & Looks Interesting at the same time, If this Real it could make or break Wii exclusive sonic Tiitles.
(of course sega sould be making this to make Unleashed look good by comparison, kinda like that episode of Family guy where the network Hired an ugly girl to stand next to meg to make her look better in comparioson.)
LOL FTW!!!!
Huh, I actually like that design used for the sword and gauntlet.
hee hee.... Oh. Wait. Toby?
Hahahah @ Hybrid Project Alpha. XDXDXD @ SH's facepalms. Uhhh...I am going to pretend I didn't see that mag. cover. Thank you very much.
The game. XD If only that scene would happen in the game. I'd buy it just to see that.
Ok team! What can we do to make the werewolf segments of Sonic Unleashed look fun!
j/k.
One way to proove if this is real or not...Has that image of sonic been used before in any other game? Really it looks just like something I MIGHT have scene from an Unleashed advert but I could be wrong. Also if anybody can recognize the sword and gauntlet from any other game?
Plus the other notes on the cover like the Ghostbusters and Wario and Chrono Trigger. If those can't be confirmed then this Sonic Black Knight thing is looking incredibly shakey.
I've heard of the other games and have not see Sonic in that pose at any other time than this one. The title looks faked, but after a second look, it looks legit. Hmm, don't like the concept though...if it IS real.
Sonic? Sword? Can't see the two together.
At first glance I was all WTF.
Now that I look at it again, and read the optimistic views I think, "If this is seriously a game and not a hoax then I will greatly question what the hell Sega is thinking."
Seriously.
WTF.
Are they TRYING to get rid of any credibility Sonic still has?
I simply cannot comprehend the madness behind this. I just can't.
They already slaughtered Arabian Nights, so why not craptastic Wiimote-waggling Sonic shenanigans in Arthurian legend? 
sonic will jump off tall buildings and land in tiny tiny bails of hay.
...sigh...
Well it morning, why haven't any scans of the article have appear yet?
Couldn't they have just made a new Phantasy Star/Shining Force/Something new that would suit sword based gameplay?
...and here I though SEGA were starting to get the message...
So if Knuckles, Tails and Eggman had counterparts in the world of the Arabian Nights, does that mean we can expect Shadow to be the Black Knight in this one?
Couldn't they have just made a new Phantasy Star/Shining Force/Something new that would suit sword based gameplay?
...and here I though SEGA were starting to get the message...
No becuase that would actually make since, As for getting the message I think they Get it, Its just not the "it" that most people want. But who Knows this may be funner then secret rings. However I really hope this game is just a Wii ware title becuase I don't wanna pay another 40.00 to get a sonic game on top of chronicles & Unleashed.
(Next theing you know will get a POTC themed sonic.)
I cna see the games new slogan too
The Legand of sonic: The Black knight- pissing off sonic & Zelda fans at the same time.
(Note) Im not bashin this game just having trouble taking it seriously.
404'ing but...

I'd rather wait for more news on this before judging it to be bad or something. What surprises/worries me most is the fact there's 3 Sonic games we know of being worked on...
Yea it worries me too but at lease we know 2 of them will be good, & in all honesty If this is a wii-ware title im sure there won't be much to worry about however if this is a n actual game then well were in deep trouble, I mean I could see a sword working with Knuckles but sonic's always struck me more as a bow & arrow kind a guy.
Sonic: THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!
BK: WTF???
Sega: Yea mabye we should'nt have put caffine in his cereal.
(ten bucks says that Sega of Europe came up with this game.)
I said this on the STCO forums:
I cant wait until they cross Sonic with the Rev Awdry series of books.
Eggman would wear a suit and a top hat. It'll be awesome.
and I got this.
This game was the reason for this. Thus it is the greatest Sonic game ever.
In all seriousness though... are we really that shocked anymore? The amount of anger for this image and the what ifs for the gameplay makes me sad. Its Soinic holding Excalibur (maybe?) and a power glove. Thats all.
I'm not going to blindly defend the game, but can we at least see a shot of how it plays like before deciding if its poop?
I Never compared it to waste, i'm j ust joking around with it a little i agree though wee should'nt start bashing until we see some scans or read the mag when it comes out next month.
I mean they could pull it off if its a side scroller you know basically make it like the Subspace emmisary story in SSBB just going through the levels using your Sword & ball attack to kill enimies, of course it would be better if sonic had a lightsaber....But yea this will most likely Be the Defining point for the success of wii-slusive sonic titles. (Frankly I think when it comes to Nintendo Sega should just stick to the DS, Sonic Rush 3 anyone?)
3 games at once? Well technically 2 are already finished for the most part. This Black Knight thing might still be in early development.
You needed post the nicer designed chart, Vulpix.
Also there are some rumors going around that the NP issue states that this game has and I quote:
-
- [*]- First person gameplay [*]- With west rpg elements [*]- No MotionPlus compatible [*]- Coming 2009, Wii exclusive [/list:u:c29ee47e39]
[/list:o:c29ee47e39]Though I believe that has to be a joke. I mean Sega done some really retarded things with the franchise, but they can't be this retarded.
Oh wow - Sonic!Fable then?
Only without the Good/Evil thing and lack of pet dog. And you cant be a lesbian?
First person sword play never goes well though.
I see what's going on here.
Shadow with guns didn't work, so obviously the opposite (sonic with swords) will.
Clever move Sega...*facepalm*

How the hell is the gameplay of either three of the games, the same old? One's an RPG while the other uses a Werewolf. :O
...I'm going to go weep over my copy of Sonic Mega Collection.
*sobs*
Yeah, I'm a die hard Sonic fan, who liked Shadow and 06, and even I have to say this is a what the heck moment. I mean, I don't know Sonic with swords and this coming up before Chronicles and Unleashed are out just doesn't seem good or whatever; so if I got a bad feeling about this, you know there's something rotten in Denmark!
Edit: Though I got to admit I've a bit more at ease with it now than when I was last night.
"Sonic, Duke vector is under attack by the evil forces of Robotnik. I am going to angel island to aid him,"
I bet Shadow will be the black knight, Amy will be a princess, Knuckles will be the leader of the royal guard & Tails will be sonic's Squire.
(& Blaze will be some Random person burning down villages, that would be great!)

It probably means that the design is reminiscent of SA1 and/or their is a odd gimmick shoved into the game. The cycle usually refers to Sonic plat-formers(or plat-former-wannabes).
Also this is awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBoqDk9RCaI
