News: Sonic Wii Dated For Europe

Posted by Aaron Clegg - Feb 4th 2009 19:05

Sega have confirmed the final European release date for Sonic's big Medieval outing...

After a mish-mashed multi-platform, holiday-hitter in the form of Sonic Unleashed, the blue blur is back to burn up some... cobbles exclusively on Wii once more.

Sega have pinned the European release date for Sonic and the Black Knight down as March 13th. This is generously three days after the US release and the day after the Japanese.

Black Knight sees the Sonic Storybook Series continue on Wii, with this outing seeing our boy chasing a corrupt King Arthur through Medieval England. The eponymous hero will have - for the first time ever - a trusty blade to help him slice through swathes of enemies. Unfortunately, the game will not utilise Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus attatchment, which will ship with the still-undated Wii Sports: Resort.

As a final piece of useless trivia, Sonic and the Black Knight also sees Sega's first implementation of HDR lighting in a Wii game. Put that in your nerd-pipe and smoke it.

Are you hyped for The Black Knight, or has Sonic hurt you too many times in the past?

Thanks to Dante for the heads-up!

The artwork looks nice for the box but I won't be buying this at all. Sonic was never that good a game or character and his games just get worse over the years. I don't even play Sonic Rush anymore as its just so annoying in how you can run into some random enemy and lose all you have. Sega were always a 'snide' Nintendo in general and they never seem to learn from their mistakes...

Sorry for the rant!

It depends on the reviews. I liked Secret Rings, and if this corrects the faults of that game (which it seems to be doing) I might get it.

On the other hand, Sonic's got a frickin' SWORD. You really don't know what we want, do you Sega?

I don't mind the sword at all. It's clearly seen how speed Sonic can go, and how well his attacks work. It's basicly the same attacks he always had, plus a couple of new ones, in the shape of a Sword.

It's already a pre-order of mine, whichever is the release date.
