Well, so it begins! Sonic Colors (Wii/DS) is coming to NA on November 16.

Also, here's the boxarts for the game:

And finally, here's the brand-spanking new trailer that shows off a lot of great gameplay elements:

Definitely one of my most anticipated games of the holiday season. The game looks great (the Storybook team really gets the most out of Wii's hardware), and the gameplay looks fast, frantic, but most importantly: fun! Lovin' those 2D sections!

I'm marking my Calendar for November 16, and pre-ordering this Asap. I'm not one to usually pre-order games, but when the bonus is something like this...

...then that's way too awesome to pass up!

I try not to get overhyped, but...omg, this looks great! Will be one of the best 3D Sonic games ever!

Thats so awesome... I'm buying this hat and get a free Sonic game!

Yeah, hyping a 3D Sonic game feels very strange... as the Sonic cycle usually completes itself around this time. But... I don't see any signs of a Werehog, or an angsty Anti-Herohog with guns. *knocks on wood*

I have to say though, the gameplay elements in that trailer just looked plain fun. There really isn't anything else to say, which is very refreshing.

Haha yeah, I've heard a couple other people say that they're going to buy a $50 hat, along with a free Sonic game. I mean, I'm alright with that, as that hat has plenty of pizazz.

The video makes it look fast and fun like Sonic should always be. I wanna here about the controls too before I make a final decision. The Secret Rings controls were freaking aweful.

its going to be great, i miss sonic.

It's actually strange, because I'm probably going to get both versions. I mean, they're similar... and yet completely different styles of Sonic games. Sonic Colors Wii is like Daytime Unleashed with some new power-ups, while Sonic Colors DS is the Dimps style 2D Sidescroller.

I'm pretty stoked for both of 'em.

Is it finally true? The one that will break that terrible Sonic cycle?

I'm hyped also for a 3-D sonic game...this is a scary feeling...

The theme tune aside Sonic Colours is looking really great. I'm lookin forward to getting both versions

It is staggering when you think that Sonic Team probably has the best grasp of the Hollywood chip outside of Nintendo.

Does this make Sonic Team better than all of Capcom, Square Enix, and RockStar?

Maybe...
