#SEGAnews Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Official Trailer

 The Sonic Movie 3 trailer is finally here!

*insert obligatory Sonic music - Green Hill and Live and Learn this time - as orchestral variants that WONT BE in the movie* Dammit, I wish Live and Learn would stay, but if it's anything like the previous films.... Remember Emerald Hill's music in the film? Me neither.

ANYWAYS

Sonic Movie 3 just dropped! Shadow looks great and epic, and like with Sonic Movie 2's Japanese title (Sonic Vs. Knuckles), Sonic Movie 3 got a pretty darn epic title in Japan again, "Sonic Vs. Shadow: Tokyo Mission! Let's go!!!!

Wow! The bits we get of Shadow's past with Maria seems pretty true to the source material. The rest seems like a truncated simplified Sonic Adventure 2 with odd choices, like Movie 2 was a weird simplified mashup of Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 (a Master Emerald but no Chaos Emeralds, the Death Egg Robo but no Death Egg..). We do seem to have a weird glimpse at the ARK there at the end.

Keanu Reeves fits Shadow like Idris Elba fits Knuckles. It's different, but fitting. Keanu's been voicing stuff since the 80s..

I still wish they did Chaos or Metal Sonic before Shadow, I can't imagine them afterwards. (Maybe a tweaked Sonic CD Metal Sonic+Heroes following the Eggman asked for a quill from Sonic-part in the trailer?)

No idea what they're doing with Gerald Robotnik, we lack context here. Real deal? Hologram/AI thing? Halucinations like Pachacamac? Eggman-Carrey does seem to hint that it isn't right (Are you really here??) 

Wait and see!

Oh, and Shadow finally did the Akira bike slide, been wishing for it since the Shadow spinoff and Sonic 06's cutscenes back then...!
