Sega slides one under the radar: Sonic and the Black Knight
While we all recover from E3, not that there was much to recover from, a leaked scan of the cover of September’s Nintendo Power managed to sneak it’s way onto the NeoGAF forums for the world to see. Warning, the image may shock you.
What makes the picture of a new Sonic game so interesting is the fact that the blue man is WIELDING A F***ING SWORD! Yeah, that’s right. Our speedy old friend has decided on a whim to pick up the art of the blade. What makes this puzzling news a bit more plausible is the fact that this game is heading to the Wii under Sonic’s newly created “Storybook” series with former entry “Sonic and the Secret Rings” an innovative yet not fully thought-out title.
While we have yet to see or hear anything else about the game, if this “storybook” category is any indication, we can expect to use the Wii remote to steer Sonic through a facsimile of the story of King Arthur.
While I could rant on and on about how this could be an abomination to the franchise and, how Sonic Team has driven the blue rodent so far off course, I will reserve judgment until we get more information. Expect that to come with September’s Nintendo Power.
