ANYWAYS! "Sega Playmore" has just announced a new Sonic game! I mean, a new game based on Sonic Boom!
"Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice"! Now that's cheesy as heck and perfect for the series.
But I can already hear some nerds "The Sonic Boom game was awful! How are they even making another one!?" Because: $$$. Easy as that.
More seriously, the "franchise" as a whole is successful. The cartoon's pretty popular, believe it or not (personally I find it a bit too childish, but I guess that was the idea...). The toys/plush/merch's selling great. And despite what people said about the Wii U game, the 3DS Sonic Boom got a lot of decent reviews.
So it's not a surprise they only announced a new game for the 3DS this time! Here's the trailer:
The game won't be in the hands of the hacks behind the Wii U title but the same 3DS time, it will be developed by Sanzaru Games again. Here's a few screens:
If they can fix some details from the previous game, I genuinely belive they make a good game this time. But there seems to be too many gimmick-y gameplay elements for my taste..

Well, that's almost the best compliment these Sonic Boom games ever got.
ReplyDeleteHa!
But seriously though, since this isn't the "main game" (home system =/= portable console), I really believe it can be better than the previous episodes. And the 3DS game wasn't that bad.
(Side note comment: I'm probably one of the very rare people who actually like Street fighter 1 out there.. haha.. and I'm not that hugely attached to SF2 since I always preferred SF3 and Alpha to it))
