New Video: ASR Xmas Trailer

Tristan Oliver | December 22, 2009

Get in the Holiday Spirit… with Ideya Spheres, Perhaps

Though conclusively, it can be said that not a whole lot can be disseminated from the trailer IGN posted late yesterday from Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing–it’s still pretty cool.

Presumably, this was released for non-XBOX360 audiences.  As those consoles won’t be getting Banjo-Kazooie, instead they get a cute parody of the 12 Days of Christmas set in one of Billy Hatcher’s stages to build the hype.  Certainly, there are worse ways to get in the spirit of the season.

Yes, there’s not much to speak of in this trailer…except those orbs meant to be ornaments at the end of the trailer.  A few have commented that they look a touch similar to the Ideya Spheres…the spheres made famous from the NiGHTS franchise.  Hm.

Decide for yourself in the video below.

    Cheesiest trailer in the history of cheesy trailers… Yes, that does include anything Super Mario related. If I keep watching shit like this, I might just become clinically retarded… Moreso.

    Still, the game itself looks OK.

    Childiest trailer in the history of childish trailers.

    Okay, it was pretty… I don’t know. It was mostly just nice… and a bit strange… and as I sad a bit childish. :D

    COOL TRAILER!!!

  9. daylengamer17 on December 22nd, 2009 9.47 am

    They should put in Amitie (Puyo Pop Fever), ChuChu or Kapu-Kapu (ChuChu Rocket), Nights, Gulius (Golden Axe), BD Joe (Crazy Taxi), Axel (Streets of Rage), Ristar, Astal, Akira Yuki (Virtua Fighters) and Vyse.

    Vyse- Drives a red plane on wheels or not.
    All-Star Move: Cutlass Slash

    ChuChu: Rides a roller skate with rocket
    All-Star Move: ChuChu Rocket Boost

    I wanted Kapu-Kapu but it did not fit very well.

    BD Joe- Drives his cab
    All-Star Move: Crazy Driver

    Axel- Drives the military car
    All-Star Move: Super Punch

    Akira Yuki- Drives Virtua Racer or motorbike
    All-Star Move: Tetsuzankou

    Nights- Drives hovercar.
    All-Star Move: Pian Power

    Ristar- Rides a shooting star
    All-Star Move: Cloud Boost

    Astal- Drives red hot rod (the car kind of hot rod)
    All-Star Move: The Bird

    Amitie- Drives a car with Puyos as wheels.
    All-Star Move: Magic

    Holy shit guys, CHRISTMAS BAUBLES NiGHTS IS CONFIRMED OMFG WOWZ!!1.

  11. daylengamer17 on December 22nd, 2009 10.28 am

    @SuperLink: Yeah! You are 100% correct. I saw the Ideya Spheres and they look identical to the ornaments in this game. I wonder what vehicle it will drive.

    I still want ChuChu, Ristar, Amitie, Astal, BD Joe, Vyse Akira and Gulius

  12. daylengamer17 on December 22nd, 2009 10.31 am

    We should get courses from:

    Virtua Cop
    Puyo Puyo
    ChuChu Rcket
    Shenmue
    Sonic Riders
    Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
    Outrun

    Santa Claus for S&SASR! XD

    AWSOME TRAILER hehehe, Just about 1 hour ago I bought my FIRST Sonic figure in ReplayZone store I will only open it in Christmas day :D weeeeeeeeeee
    We’r Sonic Heroes :D

  15. daylengamer17 on December 22nd, 2009 2.45 pm

    I think this might be a trailer for online gameplay as well. Notice how they say 8 “players” racing instead of 8 “racers” racing.

  16. SuperLink on December 22nd, 2009 2.52 pm

    @daylengamer:
    Naw man I’m pretty sure they were just Christmas baubles.

    This is another case of the fanbase jumping to ridiculous conclusions because of tiny little coincidences being noticed in promotional material.

  17. Sonic Fan 4ever on December 22nd, 2009 3.34 pm

    LOL!
    “And a hedgehog called Sonic!!”
    XD YEAH! THAT’S WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!

  18. Shego13 on December 22nd, 2009 8.09 pm

    This trailer is okay. These ornaments do look kind of familiar. I hope that NiGHTS is confirmed to join Sega All-Stars Racing.

    @daylengamer17. I like your idea of NiGHTS’ all-star move, the Nightopian Power. They can help her to catch up with the other competitors.

    I also would like to see Bug from Bug! compete and so does Vyse,and Ulala.

  19. daylengamer17 on December 22nd, 2009 10.06 pm

    @Shego13: Thanks! Bug could drive a leaf car lol

  20. daylengamer17 on December 22nd, 2009 10.14 pm

    I just like the idea of having a fighter like Akira on the circuit. And I figured that since ChuChus have rockets, that could be the All-Star move. It would be fun to drive it on a roller skate.

    BD Joe actually drives a cab! He would make a perfect fit for a racing game.

    Astal is just plane awesome! I imagine him in a cool red roadster with flames. The Bird that helps him in his namesake game would be the perfect All-Star Move

    and I still want Gulius!

  21. daylengamer17 on December 22nd, 2009 10.16 pm

    Poll:
    Would Vyse fit this game:

    A:Oh Yeah!
    B:No Way!
    C: Ummm. Not sure
    D:Stop with dumb polls
    E:Who’s Vyse?

  22. Sonic Unleashed (SU) on December 23rd, 2009 9.34 am

    I want to play as SONIC :D

  23. daylengamer17 on December 23rd, 2009 11.10 am

    @SU: Who doesn’t?

  24. daylengamer17 on December 25th, 2009 3.17 pm

    I want Gulius. Gulius is hard with vehicles but instead of a chariot, he could have a beast motorbike. As the All-Star Move, he could use the golden axe to turn his bike into a beast.

  25. Jof on December 27th, 2009 3.54 pm

    Haha, I like how your desperately trying to find ways to keep people doubting that NiGHTS is actually in the game : P

    Seriously? Bobbles ?

    A) They are bobbles, they are spherical. That’s the only resembelance to Ideya.
    B) If it was a sign of NiGHTS, wouldn’t they just have shown him ? It is the Christmas trailer afterall, if there any there was a better time to show him off, it would have been that.
