Ha, ha, thanks for the compliment, but any Joe Smoe can look up Wikipedia 'taint nothin'.
Edit: Here some pictures I found while surfing around the Sonic Colors GameFAQ board. According to the guy who posted them, they may not be up for long because they're apparently leaked.
Sonic Colors on the DS looks just so...colorful...and kind of fruity with the color usage and I love it. Why do some of the garish colored zones seem to be the best?
WOW i didnt see this before, those pics area amazing i didnt think they were colors on the DS till tiggerkiddo said it.
Wow, those covers are awesome! I looked on Wikipedia and it says that Europe will get it on the 12th so good for you all! ^_^ Also, the tune is pretty catchy though I think I like the shorter version better. Also, so getting a nostalgia vibe from the Carnival Night Zone with those balloons in a bright area with a night sky!
The hat you get for preordering the game at GS is pretty hilarious. And a must for diehards
Oh my...That trailer is gorgeous.
That trailer makes it look like it might actually be good, we'll see about that but for now this is still Super Sonic Galaxy.
After watching the video about three or four more times, I've come to like the theme really good!
I put a nice amount of time into it, and aside from the speed boosters, if I really wanted to go fast I could have, if I didn't I didn't. The trailer does keep the action going to look super exciting,
but I doubt you have to keep up that pace in every stage.
Anyway I wonder if Tails will have a real gameplay role this time around. Seeing him in the 2 trailers now has me excited for at least him as an unlockable character.

well seeing as how sonic team is making sonic4 maybe they went old school and made tails a player two option like in the old sonic. it would explain why they didnt add the other characters in this game.
as for the song it reminded me of sonic heroes, i know that game wasnt perfect i had problems with it but the song always made me enjoy playing it. i think the song in sonic colors will do just that make it a rush of excitment. waaaaaaaaa i hope they put it on the Xbox too >_< darn Wii system!
Don't hate on the Wii - you know full well it gets the worse end of the stick overall! 😛
Bahaha! True that Mobius. But yea, that trailer was nice. Game still looks to accelerated. SA/SA2 were just right. I liked the speed in that game. Heroes must've been where it began, because I remember some segments in that game where Sonic didn't even seem to be "moving" at the velocity he was going. Anywho...this reminds me, I need to finish Unleashed. Oops!
This game is still shaping up to be a win, thankfully. I mean, most fans could agree the daytime stages in Unleashed were worthy of our time, so building a whole game off the concept seems wonderful. Even GameInformer was a wee bit smitten with it.
*Goes back to looking at the Sonic Cycle*...

Bahahahahahha! This is a good call. *does the same*...
The Sonic cycle is a stupid meme. The only game it applies to is SonicNEXT.
Review of Colors from some one who played it at SoS!!
For those who don't want to read the thing; GoNintendo gives the hightlights as such:
- Cube controls: A to jump, B to boost, X to slide/ground-stomp in the air, R/L may be for wisps
- air dash replaced with mini double-jump
- quick-time events on ramps replaced with recommended prompts for double jumps to stunts
- alternate paths in some levels
- DS version plays much like Sonic Rush
- tricks are gone from teh DS version
- more platforming
The Sonic cycle is a stupid meme. The only game it applies to is SonicNEXT.
Says Vec because he loves Sonic Heroes.
The meme does not work with Sonic Heroes either, especially since much of its hype was due to the huge roster. The Sonic cycle is literally just a summary of the hype that preceded 1 single game (which I knew for what it was from the start :P).
The review claiming it has more platforming and paths is nice, but I'll believe it when I see it, since that has been claimed before. Replacing QTE with hints is a good sign though. I think one of the reasons they do so little branching is that it does not work with the ranking system. If they hide the branching paths that lets them do both.
Hahaha! Actually, Vec...i'm with you on Heroes. I enjoyed that game too. But not initially. Oh heck no! BUT, in the end. It was enjoyable[but I still traded that thing in for SFIV CE]. >.> Anywho...more platforming is a good thing indeed. I'm not pushing this game to the wayside, but i'm not abandoning my Sonic Cycle either. *grasps it like a baby holding a teddy bear*
what's sonic cycle???
but what really interests me is the bit where it says "alternate paths" waaaaaaaaaaaa i like the idea of 2 or more ways to finish a level. what i loved about sonic 06 is i can cheat with the flying characters and just fly to the end of the zone XD
and long live sonic heroes it was awsome...... except the last episode >_< what's with me not being able to finish any of the last episodes in the new sonic games.
SF: The sonic cycle is basically described by this graphic!
wow thanks mobius, i can finally give what i suffer from a name XD
Glad to help! 
SA? Heavy use of a large cast in promos. Totally different gameplay. Positive reviews at time, mostly due to graphics that were ahead of the era.
SA2? Heavy use of a large cast in promos. Totally different gameplay.
Sonic Advances? Maybe the first. Not hyped much. Cream revealed early.
Heroes? Heavy use of a large cast in promos. Totally different gameplay.
Sonic Battle? Obviously large cast due to what it is. Totally different gameplay. Not proclamed as any kind of revival.
Shadow? Almost none of those occurred (except bad reviews obviously) and everybody was skeptical to start.
Sonic Rush? Maybe the first. Sequel revealed Marine at start.
Sonic Unleashed? Werehog revealed early. Major skepticism about Werehog.
Sonic Secret Rings? Solo game. Totally different gameplay.
Sonic Black Knight? Solo game. Totally different gameplay. Major skepticism.
Sonic 4? Solo game. Otherwise probably the most cycle appropriate.
Sonic 4? Solo game. Otherwise probably the most cycle appropriate.
Yes, the one Sonic game that is almost exactly what the fans want. Yes, that's the appropriate one, not the other 87 console disasters in which the cycle is based on... I guess you can't please everyone. (And yeah, I went a little bold happy).
Anyways, back on topic; does anyone else get a major Mario Galaxy feel from this game? Not that it's a bad thing...

Another mystery solved!
Bahahah! Indeed MattManic, indeed. As for Galaxy vibe. D00d! I'm so getting that feeling too. I guess SEGA decided to take Ninty's approach, huh? And when they used to be such hated rivals...Ninty has now taken SEGA under it's tangled Nunchuk cord and showed it the way of success. Maybe. Probably not. I'm blinded by my loyalty to SEGA.
V_V
Nunchuck cords? Nah...Don't need those!
If they're going to be copying others, might as well make it Galaxy instead of shooters and JRPGs.

buttttttttttttttttttttttttttt veckums! galaxy is for mario right? and mario did have an RPG so why can't sonic? actually an Amy RPG wouldn't be bad... or a Silver rpg XD waaaaaaaaaaaa i think you found great ideas.
"Another mystery solved!"
<pouting> okay okay so i dont play that good >_<
Sonic RPG, you say?
...Whatever happened to their so called trilogy, anyway? XD
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that's what it is?!
i saw it in the store i just thought it looked weird, i was too scared to pick it up, so there IS A SONIC RPG!
i will totally buy it, i saw the trailer and it looked good.... thanks again mobius XD who needs a brain when i got you <hugs>
Trust me, you don't wanna rely on me too much - my brain fails me a lot too! 😛

I was under the impression that a company involved had fallen under (obviously not BioWare), and that a result was this being the first and last Chronicles game. Anyone able to clarify?
Yes, talked to someone who worked with Bioware at Game about it and that is exactly what happened. Plus Sega arent interested in doing a new one.
So have expected Shade to be renamed and shoved in Sonic The Hedgehog 2K11.
waaaaaaaaaa i bought it XD i bought sonic chronicles i just had to, a sonic rpg X_X why didnt anyone tell me sooner?
i havent unwrapped the packaging yet but looks cool waaaaaa <rolls around happy>
"Trust me, you don't wanna rely on me too much - my brain fails me a lot too! :P"
you had a fine brain till you wrecked it with that awful robot unicorn and its annoying song 
i tried to warn you but you didnt listen!
Oh, the damage I've incurred to it over the years happened WAY before that! 😛
A new pink Wisp has been revealed. This one gives Sonic the ability to climb walls in his Spin Dash mode.
Hey, it's the Spider Ball in a Sonic game!
The Green Wisp has been revealed today. This one gives Sonic the ability to hover and find new paths.
Interesting. Granted, Sonic's never had any problems scaling walls so long as there was an incline to run up on. But gravity usually cut those short. Now he's on the same level as Knuckles... or is he? Is there a limit to watch out for? Or will he only be able to scale walls pre-designated for climbing? Pictures on that blog seem to indicate you can climb anything...
I haven't been following news on this game lately. I don't suppose they've revealed Wisps that grant gliding powers, too?
EDIT: Still having caching issues, I see. Shadonic, I swear that last post you made wasn't there before I posted. o.o; Anyway, I guess I got my answer!
After watching that gameplay trailer, my want for this game has since doubled. The 2.5D sections are much longer than I thought they'd be, and I love every second of it.
One question though: why is Sonic running around the set from Katy Perry's California gurls music video?
One of the comments. Bahhaha! That does look cool indeed. After seeing some dreadful Sonic 4 footage awhile ago[so it wasn't really all that bad...but my expectations are fairly high so bleh]Colors might be my new Sonic game of the year. Maybe. Atleast Colors actually has a release date set. 😛
Greetings, I bring you news from BumbleKing! A new video from IGN, and what's this could it be a co-op mode?
I have it reserved for Wii and I am debating whether or not to also reserve this game on the DS, so that I may obtain TWO sonic hats...
The 1st Sign of Gimmicks, or the 1st Sign of Multiplayer?
LOL @ Tristan's attempts to create controversy in his articles.
For those who don't wish to click article:
1) Dr. Eggman has built his park after developing a sense of remorse for his past “indiscretionsâ€. Hmm… a likely story.
2) At one point in an early cutscene Sonic “breaks the fourth wall†and talks directly to the gamer.
3) SA-55, the round red robot also known as “Ergo†by fans who appeared in Sonic Unleashed will return, but slightly more jaded than before. Oh and by the way SA-55 ISN’T his name… his name is actually “Orbotâ€
4) Orbot also has a counterpart this game… who we’ll be revealing next week.
5) Tails’ “Miles Electric†handheld device that appeared in Sonic Unleashed makes a re-appearance.
6) The boss you have already likely seen from Tropical Resort Dr. Eggman refers to as the “Big Boyâ€.
7) The curly haired white Wisp is important to the Colours story and its name is…. something you’ll have to tune in next week to find out!
