Domestic Website Reveal Yields Loads of Goodies
As is par for the course any of Sega’s official game websites open or update, we have dozens of screenshots available today from the opening of the Sonic Colors Western web portal late Monday.
In the gallery below are 29 screenshots divided into a fair cross section of the game’s five officially revealed zones. Some of these are new, and some are not. All of them offer cleaner peeks at the game’s stages and visual structure. A few offer glimpses from stages we may not have seen just yet. All in all, for a Wii title, this is shaping up to be one of the most visually stimulating offers to the console.
Check out the gallery below. Be sure to also look at the DS counterpart for 23 more shots, as well as even more shots focused on Wisp powers, for both Wii and DS.

I know I’m opening the flame gates here but, do we really need the qualifier, “looks good for a Wii game”, on EVERY SINGLE Wii article (not just talking about this site). We get it, the Wii is underpowered, people already know this. People also know that it can do amazing things. But that phrase is like saying “he’s cool for a black guy”. What was a compliment is now an insult. Simply saying it looks great or it looks like ass should suffice, the smart person will adjust their expectations for the system’s capabilities. Besides, I don’t see people going “it looks good for an XBox game” for 360 and PS3 titles, or “it looks good for a PS3 game” for PS3 and PC titles,

calm down dude 0.o after all… It is good for a Wii game
Dude…you just said that because the Wii’s inferiority is an accepted fact then it’s no different than saying “He’s cool for a black guy.” That would mean that it’s an accepted fact that people who are black are inferior.
…
Shut up. It is known that black people are generally better at some stuff and worse at some other. I think I’d be right if I said there are far more black professional basketball players than white ones, but it won’t work the same way for professional chiefs.
That said, Colors would look good (in terms of style) even on PS3/360. Textures? I can’t see them being bad. Models? The same. Resolution? Dust off Dolphin directory.

RIGHT!!! There’s alot of people that hate on the Wii, or call it inferior because of it’s graphics…when the reality is, not only is it the most fun system (IMO), but both PS3 and Xbox 360 are mimicking it…(Kinect, Playstation Move). Nintendo always sets the bar…everyone else copys.
The race argument aside, aside from the near guarantee this will sell well on the Wii, it still boggles my mind why Sega never considered a port of this to the HD consoles. Something as vivid as this ought to be a prime candidate. Given how well the game’s trending right now vs. Sonic 4, someone in corporate has to be kicking themselves right about not.

“That would mean that it’s an accepted fact that people who are black are inferior.”
…if you didn’t actually mean that, then you REALLY need to re-word that phrase XD.
@Tristan Oliver
Trying to make a port to another console with a different system is almost like making the same game from scratch. SEGA has had a fetish of milking out Sonic games for many years now. If they made ports of Sonic Colors for the 360 and PS3, then I can guarantee you that there will be much less quality for all three versions. Focusing on one console is probably the best thing to do unless SEGA wakes up and give Sonic Team at least two or three years to develop a game for all systems.
@Tristan Oliver
I wouldn’t mind a port, but an actual PS3/360 version doesn’t sound very good. Why? Because there’s always a huge imbalance between the quality of Sonic games that are released on different systems. So for now, I’m fine with only a Wii version…. and a DS version, but I can’t give two damns for that version.
Ahem, anyway, I really, REALLY like that aquarium screenshot. Why? Because it… has.. PLATFORMING, something sorely lacking from most of the 3D footage.
I find that Nintendo has been lazy on its hardware, but 3rd party developers find a way to push the wii to its limits or more. So far SEGA is taking that advantage with sonic colors just using the team that made the sonic storybook series. I wouldn’t be surprised if ign gave this game a 9 out of 10. Who knows may be this game could be game of the year (somehow beating out smg 2). I’m just throwing that out to you people. The possibilities are endless with this sonic game.
As for Sonic team using the underwater levels with sonic without most of the mechanics, is flat out brilliant. I mean really everybody knows that the #1 thing gamers hate is underwater mechanics.
@KrazeeKidd102 What I meant was you can’t compare the Wii to being black because the Wii IS an inferior product on a graphical level. It’s a fact. People who are black however are not inferior in any sense.
@Tristan Oliver
Gee I dunno :O Maybe cuz it would SUCK. Seriously dude, there are VERY little 360/PS3 Sonic fans that want this. If that were to happen, it will do as bad as the versions of Unleashed and 06. STOP ASKING FOR IT. They’re not kicking themselves over something as dumb as that, in fact, they’re glad they didn’t port it cuz they know it will do well on Wii/DS and they are too scared of what will happen if they decided to do it. FORGET MOVE AND KINECT TOO. All I’m saying is that Sonic never did well on those company platforms, yet Sonic did well on Nintendo’s.
@SpeedDemon
I agree with half of what you said, but you cannot say that Sonic has “done well” on the Wii. We all know that Sonic had shitty games on the Wii…..damn storybook series….
And besides…Sonic Unleashed (360/ps3) had potential…
@krazeeKidd102
In terms of sales, Sega with Nintendo is better than Sony and Mirosoft. The WEIRD part is that, for the storybook series, they sold well (Pretty much Secret rings > 06). Sonic Unleashed did better on the wii for some reason.
