Anyone else noticing the subtle changes they are to Sonic? His body is more the short, squat kind of classic Sonic while retaining his SA looks on his face.

How would it be stupid? It's basically one of the main focuses of the Arthurian legends

And it's not like Sonic Team can already ruin a relationship that's already butchered

It would be stupid in a Sonic game using Sonic characters with a script written by Sonic Team


EDIT:
Although the results would be even better than fanfiction.

But thats only if this game actually uses the characters in the story in accordance to the legends and not just plot them there to give you missions. Saaay if Rouge was Morgan Le Faye, makes sense. That character wasn't exactly good (bad at the start i believe) but in the end she helps the hero. But if Knuckles is Sir Gawain that means Rouge is his Aunt XD

If Amy is Lady of the Lake then she ressurects Shadow (Lancelot). She'd play a larger role if Sonic was actually Authur because he gets the sword from the lake and Merlin got his powers from the lake as well. She'd even be Knuckles'/Sir Gawain's foster mother from infanthood lol.

Eggman would probably be Mordred. He backstabs Authur making him a good villian choice. Eventhough Eggman wasn't a bad guy in Secret Rings... lol he'd be Knuckles' brother. Wow the family resemblence is so strong

But I'm just joking around since everything I said is just daydreams and poppycock! Hmmm.

Also according to some retellings, Rouge and Sonic would be full or half siblings.

I wonder why Sega has decided so suddenly to acknowledge the chili dog in the games.

For all we know, Sonic Team originally came up with the idea for Sonic to enjoy chili dogs, but since such a thing really isn't important in a video game, didn't make mention of it. They then told DiC to run with the idea in thier cartoons, but since DiC is so creative, they thought "run with the idea" meant "make Sonic mention chili dogs every 15 seconds like an idiot."

Who knows?

Wondering what the Wi-Fi for Sonic and the Black Knight is for?

Apparently you use it to trade 200+ items that can be found in the game.

Yea, but the DiC Sonic came about at the time Ninja Turtles was around and every cartoon character around that time had to have a favorite food kids liked so they could relate more to that character. Lots of cartoons were doing it at that time.

Well to be fair, it does look like its going to kick the crap out of Soul Calibur Legends.

And thats the old "What is this game going to play like?" question answered.

Merlin is not a girl! >=( Next they are going to tell us that Excalibur and the Sword in the Stone are the same thing.

Well Merlina is supposed to be Merlin's granddaughter. I believe it was mention in a Nintendo Power preview.

Well, now it's for certain that Merlina is in fact Shahra with a makeover. That's nice. =)
And ya gotta love how it's implied that Sonic throws his chili dog in the air, and then defeats all the knights with plenty of time to spare to catch it!

It's looking incredible so far, really looking forward to this!

Merlina is Sharah with purple hair.

Hmm Anybody notice the abscence of rings? I guess those floaty navi faires which act as your magic replace rings in this game?

I remember hearing that you are able to collect rings in money sacks, or something to that effect. I believe it was in the first Nintendo Power preview.

Actually there are Rings in the game. You can see the ring counter here and here. I wonder if the bar with the code of arms is supposed to be Sonic's life bar ?

Edit- Another new video showing Sonic wearing a golden armor.

^ Lol, I can see that. Both videos are awesome especially the first one, and it looks like Unleashed day with swords! As far as Merlina goes, I can see the similarities between her and Shaara, but I think there's enough of a difference, particularly I think Merlina is cuter than Shaara, where I wouldn't call them clones. Also, it looks like the little fairy thingies will be like the Moon and Sun Medals in Unleashed; I also wonder if quick step will be left in place cuz it looks like drifting will be there.

Edit: Yes! No, on-rails, I'm liking this game already!!!

Its a human chocobo.

Anyway. Im looking forward to this game, and well, Looks like Ima have to play Unleashed fairly soon. I'ma fan of SatSr, even though I didn't finish unlocking everything because leveling takes too goddamn long and I don't have time to try for time trials that are near ridiculous (Dun get hit? Say what now?)

I hope that does not appear in this. It looks fun..again.

That Japanese scan is fairly interesting in that it's shedding a bit of light on who each character will be playing. Sonic is of course Sonic, while Shadow is Lancelot and Knuckles is Gawain. I can't make out the little hiragana above Tails, but Amy's seems to suggest she's be playing the Lady of the Lake.

Also, the "Black Knight" in question seems to be Arthur himself (sorry if we already know that, I haven't been following the news on this game too closely).

Yeah, you're just confirming what we already know, and by the way, Matt, Tails is just a blacksmith unless there's a named blacksmith in Arthurian legends.

Edit: Oh, yeah, and who wants to bet the sword is the pre-order special.

So Blaze is Percival. Funny I expected her to be Guinevere. Now I wonder who will play her?

Better download 'em quick, in case the Sega Ninjas are alerted to the leak and decide to crack down.

Blaze looks awesome, but I figured her armor would be purple/violet. Shads and Knux look awesome as well; finally, perhaps, Rouge is Guinevere.

Hands-on on Sonic and the Black Knight from MTV.

Seems the game only downside is that it doesn't look like Hedgehog Engine powered Unleashed.

Well, yeah, considering the Hedgehog Engine was only for the 360/PS3 versions of the game.
