The Game that Could Still be on 360/PS3
From the “For the Hell of It” department, there are four more pics of Sonic Colors run in high resolution on the Dolphin emulator in the gallery below.
They are again courtesy of NeoGAFer JADS876, and they show Planet Wisp and Sweet Mountain. The grass on Planet Wisp looks good enough to frolic in at 1080p high definition, while the stacked hamburgers look a little blocky.
Brisk sales of Sonic Colors should merit a port to the true HD consoles instead of this workaround, but initial estimates are putting a lot of that in doubt. Remember, faithful Wii owners: You’re fighting for the rest of us.

















OMG…… You guys should STILL know that it is a rumor that it MAY go to HD….. And yet we’re believing it would happen…..
Someone needs to make some sort of side by side comparisons to help illustrate the differences more clearly.
So why is it people need to go to a separate page just to click again to see the image full size? Is it some artificial pageview increasing measure you’ve implemented? Guess you gotta pay that restitution somehow.
I really hope Sega decides to do an official HD port for this. 60fps, 1080p… mmmm.
I wonder if Nintendo’s next console will have an upscaler, that’d be pretty cool for all these old games. HD MP Trilogy, SMG 2, Muramasa tDB, an Sonic Clolors would be reason enough to buy it.
@ Ryan Bloom
We all do. Not only would this game become one of the best looking games in existence, but PS3/360 owners really need some love. For all I care, they don’t have to update it at all, just release it over here. No More Heroes did it, and nobody even knows that game.
well it all depends on Sonic colours sales….
PS: Is Nintendo actually even making a wii HD yet?
If SEGA does make a port to the 360/PS3, I hope it runs smoothly without any framerate problems. Not that I’d buy two versions of the same thing, but…
soranamineforever: Given the responses from Sega they may do that considering the scores for the games, the amount of it bought, however, is another story.
Sega bring the best 3D Sonic game to X360/PS3 Owners Pleeeeease
Sonic Colors is not going on any HD platform.
It’s not selling well at all. Don’t get your hopes up.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

I agree totally!!! WE NEED IT SEGA

Im trying to get loads of people together so sega can see how many people really want it on the HD consoles, plus a little joke/dare in there too, if you want colours for HD consoles can you please join and hopefully we can get enough people to show sega that its a good move lol:

I agree with ChaoticFox, there needs to be side by side comparisons for these pictures, because right now those shots look worse than how the game looks on my TV screen o.o
As I have the game, and I play the Wii on my 1080p set upconverted, I can tell you without a doubt that the pictures in this gallery are far less jagged than the current Wii product.

BTW, i can’t remeber which reviewer it was *it was definately one of the reviewers that gave the game a better score* But i’m just a tad insulted by them, because i specifically remember them praising Jun Senoue for such an amazing OST and all that Jazz.
Then i beat the game and read the credits *as i always do* just to find out, that Jun Senoue WASN’T the lead sound directer, Kenichi Tokoi was *it’s about time too XD, i love Kenichi’s work* according to the credits, Senoue only worked on the vocal tracks…..
It just aggrivates me, i mean if you’re gonna review a game, at least make sure you’re information is correct >.>
@SonicR
Based on what Wentos ‘leaked’, it probably has to do with the sales of the game, not the reviewer score. However, I’d prefer it to be linked to the reviewer score, since this game has the highest ratings of any Sonic game since the Adventures, handhelds included.
@Tristan
Weird. I don’t know much about upscalers but playing the game on a regular 1080p set feels smooth and fluid.
@Keigo
Yeah, that bugged the shit out of me too. This OST was very obviously NOT Jun’s work, and credit should be given where credit is due.
sorry but just not gonna happen better chance of sa3(they sed if fans wanted it mebbe)
We should make buttons, “I SUPPORTED SONIC COLORS!” but I guess us pre-order guys can just wear our sonic hats XD I hope we get this release
@ ChaoticFox
Exactly, I’m just glad i’m not the only one who bothered to care about it haha
