Clarification on Blognik, But it May Not be the Whole Story
A terse statement made today by Sega Europe community manager Kevin on the Sonic City Blognik clarified who is developing which version of Sonic Colors.
“The Wii version of Sonic Colours is developed by Sonic Team,” said Eva, known in the community as ArchangelUK. “The DS version of the game is developed by Sonic Team in association with Dimps.”
For Dimps, it will be an added duty as they juggle the DS edition and all versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 4. For fans, it offers understanding as to what Sonic Team has been up to of late, after it was revealed they had little involvement with the production of Sonic 4.
But this isn’t the whole story. We’ve independently learned who exactly within Sonic Team is developing Sonic Colors, and depending on your views of the franchise, you may not be happy. We will share that and related details with you in a TSSZ News exclusive this evening.

Dimps own my heath
First,Dimps work too on Street fighter 4 = awesome
Dimps awesome work in sonic 4
Dimps is very good with the 2D Sonic games and wait this sounds suspicious. “We’ve independently learned who exactly within Sonic Team is developing Sonic Colors, and depending on your views of the franchise, you may not be happy.” Hmm…
Sonic Team should work to in make the Xbox 360º edition of Sonic Colors…:(

Get us the real news! Not fake PR news!
I’m more interested in what Sonic Team is REALLY working on, this is just the next project for the Wii developing B- Team.
@Fluffy
This.
Also… with the way Sonic Unleashed Wii turned out, I’m happy Dimps is sticking to 2D in this case.
something tells me that sonic colors was kept secret for along time but the fans will think that sonic is dead so sonic 4 was made and there was alot of attention about it so that sonic team would be working on sonic colors without the fans bossing them around.
I’ve got a great idea. Instead of letting Dimps focus on making one game good, we’ll stretch their resources thin by having them develop TWO games! I’m sure that’ll make Sonic 4 and Sonic Colors TWICE as good, right?
You’re really going to make us wait Tristan? =P I’ll check back in a few hours then.
I have this strange, strange feeling Iizuka is in charge of this one too. I don’t hate the guy or anything, something is just telling me that’s who it is.
Looks like I’m getting the DS version

We aren’t sure that the DS version is completely 2D though. Who knows, it could turn out like Super Mario 64 DS (Which would be great, if they used the Olympic models because Sonic Rush’s Sonic model makes me want to throw up.)
Obviously Tristan is referring to Hirokazu Yasuhara return.
That’s just how the current fanbase would react.
@Ryan Bloom
LOL! Great point, I didn´t thought about that… Is Dimps making Episode 2 too?
Personally, the only awesome game they have done is Street Fighter IV. There are some other nice ones, but not that great.
How long until the news comes up?
Dimps is making the DS port? So… Do we clarify it as Sonic Rush 3 or Sonic Advance 3.5?
What a brilliant idea Ryan, you should work for Sega lol.
@Edge
I hope not. But yeah, certainly a possibility.
