Plus, Will the Game Make an E3 Appearance?
Through the Japanese website Game Watch Impress, we’ve learned Sonic Colors won’t just be for gamers in North America and Europe
The Nintendo Wii and DS exclusive title will also make it to consoles in Japan, and that was affirmed with the opening of the official Japanese website for Sonic Colors. The game will release around the same time as everywhere else, in that late 2010 / Holiday timetable.
With the news comes a tidbit of new information, and some new artwork. First, the information-TSSZ News has learned Sonic Colors for DS–the joint effort of Sonic Team and Dimps–will utilize both screens in-game a la Sonic Rush. The game will also make an appearance at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo–now a couple weeks away in Los Angeles–and we’ve learned it will be playable on the show floor. (That’s not our exclusive information we teased earlier today, by the way…that’s still to come later this evening.)
For the artwork, you can see the slight modification to the Sonic Colors logo in Japan, as well as a clean pose for Sonic’s new render, and those alien Wisps. They’re in the gallery below. Keep checking back to TSSZ News for the latest on Sonic Colors–there’s still much more to come.

first comment!!!
I like Sonic artwork…it’s just…so clean
I really hope this wasn’t the TSSZ news exclusive. This was shown on the Sonic Stadium Message Board sometime yesterday
It might just be me, but something about that render of Sonic just really evokes a more “classic Sonic” feel. Maybe it’s because his spikes are shorter or something…
Thats good news!! E3 is getting more exciting all the time! And ´first comment´ comments suck
E3 eh? Man, I can’t WAIT!
Further good news is that once we see this game in action, most and many of us will be able to determine if they like this game or not with footage to back that all up!
Until then, don’t get too excited just because of the teaser trailer, guys! If you don’t like something you see about the game as shown at E3…
You may find yourself more disappointed than you think you would be.
Oh, btw, love the art.
*Crosses fingers that SEGA shows up at the San Diego Comic-Con with this and Sonic 4.
@ Sonication
Well, Sonic’s spines are smaller and he doesn’t look pissed off for once.
@ Yvarthecreator
Yeah, they do suck. Which is why I try to get the first comment so someone doesn’t say it.
Did anyone noticed Sonic shoes look different in every 3D artwork ?
@ EdwinShy
The only real time I thought Sonic’s shoes looked different in a newer game was in the original Sonic Rush art. He looked like he had yellow on the bottom of his shoes.
@EdwinShy: …yeah I noticed; it’s mostly because of the angle and way his feet are bent at times
@ edge:
Sonic smiles in most of the CG art of him. In fact I only recall him looking pissed off in Shadow and Sonic and The Black Knight. He also was pissed on the Japanese Cover art of Sonic CD. He smiles in all the others.
Actually, I think Sonic’s shoes have a darker color palatte. They just look a little darker red.
Oh, and Sonic was pissed in Sonic Rivals 2 as well… but yeah, he’s been smiling in most of his recent games.
@ Gamelordabd
Yeah, but this is a happier smile, games like riders and 06 showed Sonic with more of a smirk. Like his eyebrows were lowered to the point of where he was frowning he would look pissed, but he was still smiling. This, he looks completely happy, its quite hard to put into words…
Oh, and you forgot unleashed, he looked pissed there too. Somewhat in chronicles as well.
@edge & his friends: I think he looks just like in Unleashed. And I don’t think he looked “pissed” there. But in 06 he sure looked more… angry or something. But I like his newest look the best, it’s good.
Pickle : Or the 3D artist just changes the size & shape of Sonic`s shoes each 3D artwork his shoes keep looking different each 3D artwork
Funny thing. To me, all of the recent Sonic models are starting to be more consistent in terms of design. They all seem to be the Unleashed model. Well, to be more exact, the Secret Rings model. That’s when they basically started sticking to a model more or less.
As most of you know, Sonic’s 3D models weren’t ever consistent.
