SBK: New Nintendo Power info
BanoX93 | January 7, 2009
“Just when you think you knew everything”
When you think about it, the release date for Sonic & the Black Knight is right around the corner. Nintendo Power‘s February issue has another article on the Black Knight, featuring new screens and info.
We learn a couple new things, along with the first ever screen shot of Shadow in the game:
- Sonic Summoned into medieval times whit 2 chili dogs in his hand
- Animated woodcut-esque cut-scenes
- There’s an opening 3D cinematic
- Shadow Plays as Sir Lancelot, Knuckles Plays as Sir Gawain, Amy Plays as the Lady of the Lake
- Shadow and Knuckles are playable in Battle mode once beaten in single-player mode
- Battle Mode: Free-for-all deathmatch or work together to defeat a big enemy as quick as possible
- Multi-player is a bit rough
The one page article scan can be found Here!
After hearing Nintendo Power‘s reaction to the game, it doesn’t seem as if it will be a bad one. Stay tuned to TSSZ for future Black Knight info.

Wow, interesting.
So Amy’s confirmed too.
i knew the cutscenes would look like that i hope you get to see shadow without the mask
So thats what shadow looks like huh and Amy is the lady of the lake
What does woodcut- esque mean?
Keydown it means it gonna be like the sonic and the sercret rings cutscenes
Oh
I guess I can deal with that again
yeh it’s not that bad
This sounds par for the course and all, but what the hell is up with Shadow’s costume? That just looks…weird. o_O
Also can anyone see what type of weapon he’s defending himself with? Can’t even make it out.
=Nomad= it’s his fist
maybe
Its a sword
lol i know
I love that art in the top right. They should make the in-game graphics look like that. Okami-style.
Milo Amberlight ………..that’s how to cutscenes are gonna look
I wonder if the woodcut-esque cutscenes will have running animation like in shows where they actually run and move around
Can somebody here tell me who Sir Gawain was again? I don’t remember.
I feel neutral about Shadow’s new look, thats all.
Knuckles
The graphics are shaping up well with the extra development time.
I wonder how many characters will be playable in battle mode? This is the appropriate time for fanservice, guys. Lots of characters, lots of fun. Maybe even Eggman?
This game looks and sounds amazing! The perfect Sonic game! All the favourite characters in medeval theme! This is so exciting!
You know, if I weren’t so damn sure that this game is gonna suck, I would consider buying it for the multiplayer. It sounds like a hell of a lot of fun!
Why do you think it’s gonna suck Kits’Okami?
does this mean we can ONLY PLAY AS KNUCKLES AND SHADOW IN BATTLE MODE? PLEASE SAY NO
I’m actually almost hyped here. I’m still neutral with the gameplay, but, multiplayer sounds good. The story sounds fairly well, and the characters seem like ther actually fit this time, and it seems we’ll actually get a decent cast. Please SEGA, give us a load of characters in multiplayer!
@Werehog: It’s because, thanks to the utter disappointment that was Sonic Chronicles, whenever I look at what Sonic has become now, I feel like I’ve been betrayed by a once-really-good childhood friend. Ever since I gave Sonic Chronicles away, I decided there and then that I’ve tolerated the franchise for long enough. I’ve now finally joined those who have given up hope for the future of the franchise and stopped buying the games, the last one I got being Sonic Advance 3.
I can’t fully understand why I still stand by the franchise. That said, however, as an aspiring writer and artist, I still find the franchise quite fun to experiment with. In fact, I’m currently in the process of creating an alternative canon */shameless plug*. And really, I grew up with Sonic. It’s quite literally part of my life, so I could never stray too far away from it, not when it has given me so much to cherish.
That, and I’ve been going off gaming as a whole for reasons I cannot be bothered to elaborate anymore.
@Anyone else who’s had a pop at me whilst I wrote this: Save your keys.
Shadow looks epic. But what about Blaze.
@Kits’Okami
Not trying to start something, but I am just wondering…
What were you expecting in a RPG? Were you expecting the same gameplay like other Sonic games? From the moment we saw the game, you could expect how it would be like. You might as well gave up on Sonic around the Drift games, Sonic 3D Blast, or even the horrible Sonic Labyrinth.
Just so you guys know, Sir Gaiwan dies…
So does that mean Knuckles would probably die then
Haha Shadow is Sir Lancelot
that gave me a good laugh
he might die DX but remmeber it’s not the real knux
What do Gawain and the Lady of the Lake do?
smashkirkby can you comment on campsonc cause I cant
I have a feeling Egg-boy is gonna play Uther Pendragon.
Just so you guys know, Sir Gaiwan dies…
NOOOOOOOO! You bitch. YOU BITCH! XP
This looks good to me, this wood-cut style thing looks much better than the style they’d used in secret rings. The graphics is just amzing, and this battle thing in multiplayer sounds intrsesting.
Chili dogs in hand,
Speed through nights with feet in sand
Whoa. Gaiwan died in the story, I don;t know if he will in this. King Arthur wasn’t possessed by an evil sword was, he?
holy shit im so exited!!!! i can’t wait for this to come out. shadow looks great!
