Those Are Hedgehog Hats on the Ice
Given the raw dreary weather across the northeast US today, it’s a wonder ice skating is even possible for Sega’s Sonic Colors preview event at Bryant Park’s Citi Pond today. But as the photo above demonstrates from Sega’s YFrog feed, it’s happening right now, and will until 10PM ET tonight.
There are a few skaters braving the rain and the wet surface to get in their free ice skating, with the hedgehog hat in tow. A second photo uploaded by Sega community staff showed the heart of the show–those Sonic Colors kiosks, in an enclosed, tent-like space. This is a partially outside event; good think the game playing can’t be.
If you are or were at the show this evening, send us a news tip with any pictures or video you shot there. We’ll be sure to credit your efforts.

hey, i just read something interesting… it turns out there was a mix up in info. it was the american gamepro that gave sonic colors an 86% and the german magazine gave it a perfect score saying it was better than the classic games!!!
Will somebody get some footage of Cash-Cash? Or some people playing the game? ANYBODY!?!
As a New Yorker, I took the opportunity to go to there. It was fantastic. For a small event, there was somewhat a crowd. Both demos played great (although the Wii version lagged horribly once at one of the levels when I activated the Drill).
Pardon the pun, but color me impressed. The games played very well, and I had so much fun. After not playing a new game since Shadow in 2005, it was great playing an upcoming Sonic game.
One thing: That event was one sick, kick-ass advertisement. The event was one large ad for Colors, and as an advertisement/graphic design major, I was very impressed at its fantastic execution. It literally sucked me in.
I did take some photos of the event (including a picture of an express called the QM5 after I left; I do bus and photography, too, and 42nd Street is a hot spot for some good ol’ MTA busfanning). While some may appear very blurry (my hand doesn’t stay still, and I HATE using the flash ’cause it kills the contrast of light and dark, especially at night), some should be okay.
Dark Qiviut–send us a news tip with your photos. We’ll be happy to give you credit for them. =)
