Sonic and the Black Knight

[Waifu]

How about Sonic and the Avengers? Or even better Sonic Gundam?!

Sonic and the Three Kingdoms....

New artwork:


"I'm the Knight of the Wind!"

Since Star Wars has gotten into the storybook fame (as in, novelized version of the movies 1-6), I can see where this is going, but that's a fine good artwork of Sonic and what appears to be a buster sword for the furries.

Notice the lower right-hand corner? It seems SEGA is making the storybook based Sonic games an ongoing spin-off series.

I hate to say it but that is some pretty sweet box art.  Still, this game will suck, because it is Sonic, recent, and not 2-D.

is the gauntlet really necessary?

you are so out in left field.

I'm not really seeing it. The Sonic series may have alot of characters, but I just don't see that many from the games able to fit into Star Wars' character roles, at least properly. Eggman as a bumbling Emperor and Metal Sonic as Darth Vader, though..

WTF does Star Wars have to do with anything?

Secret Rings and arguably the 360 Unleashed want a word with you.

For protection I guess, but then again, he's not wearing any other armor, so...

[STM]

He better punch people in the face with it.

[Satoryu]

He better punch people in the face with it.

if this happens, all will be forgiven.

[Protoman Blues]

Oh, he totally will!

Speculation.. on the other hand.. I haven't got a clue what Sega's gonna pull out of thier hats.

Sonic in Wonderland?

[HyperSonicEXE]

These are pretty common themes for stories. The next "Storybook" theme will probably be Greco-Roman.

EDIT: That's right, "Hedgehog of War".

Sonic and the Tree of Yggdrassil~ (Sonic vs Odin )

Haha! That's awesome. Arthurian legend is cool and all, but IMO, nothin' beats Norse mythology.

The Feb. 2009 Nintendo Power has a small bit about the Black Knight in it. A couple interesting facts from it:

It uses woodcut-esque cut-scenes aside from the opening movie (like Sonic and the Secret Rings did with storybook scenes).

Shadow is Sir Lancelot, Knuckles is Sir Gawain, and Amy Rose is the Lady of the Lake.

Shadow and Knuckles are playable in the multiplayer battles after you've defeated them in the one-on-one duels in single player mode.

The multiplayer mode lets you either go sword-to-sword against up to three others in a free-for-all or you team up together to defeat a giant baddie as quickly as possible.

This time around I've scanned the entire article instead of just the images for you guys. Aren't I nice? I suggest you still go out and buy the Feb 2009 issue of Nintendo Power to see the article for yourselves. It also has an interesting reader question. The reader mentions that Sonic X-Treme (the cancelled Sega Saturn game) kind of has a Super Mario Galaxy feeling to it. Chris Slate responds saying that he wrote a cover story on Sonic X-Treme for Game Players back in the day and does see a small resemblence now that he looks back. I wonder if Chris has any other inside info about the game from the press side of things...

And according to one of the members at Sonic Stadium:

I think i read in another preview of this game that it said that Sonic was in a chilidog eating contest when he was summoned into the book. When I first read that I thought they were joking O_o. But now that I read it in the new Nintendo Power preview, I guess it IS true.

[Protoman Blues]

Awesome.  I'm still very much looking forward to this.

[Solar]

Awesome, I really like what they did with the cutscenes in the previous game, so I'm looking forward to the ones in this one.

[HokutoNoBen]

Looks interesting. And I continue to have an overall better vibe about this title than I ever did Unleashed.

But seriously....SHADOW is Lancelot? The one hedgehog with all the angst, his emotional problems and prefers to be just, in general, an off-putting, self-proclaimed bad-ass is...LANCELOT?! 

This does not compute. At all.

[Protoman Blues]

This does not compute. At all.

Well he certainly can't be Sir Galahad now can he?   

I wonder who will be Sir Not Appearing In This Game!

[Solar]

I don't care which character is in as who as long as it's not Marine the Raccoon. She must stay in Rush Adventure.

God, I can stand every other "shitty" and unneccesary friend Sonic has, but I HATE Marine, I can't stand her >___<

[Satoryu]

so Shadow and Knuckles aren't playable in the story mode? good.

[STM]

I for one am saddened at this new.

Shadow doesn't have a crossbow. Hi Sonic Team, this your ball? You dropped it.
