With "Sonic The Hedgehog 4" due to be released on Xbox Live Arcade; the Playstation Network; Wii Connect 24 and the iPhone App Store late this Summer, it seemed very unlikely that a full retail "Sonic" release would be available for non-connected gamers this year due to the "Sonic Team" being occupied by the online project, however that's no longer the case as "Sonic: Colours" will be released on the Nintendo Wii and DS this Christmas season. The game, a loose follow-up to the Wii exclusive "Sonic And The Secret Rings" and "Sonic And The Black Knight", will star the hedgehog as he attempts to save a race of mystical beings (each coloured differently and giving him unique powers) in a rollercoaster theme park somewhere in space from the evil Dr Eggman (yes, again!). The Wii version will retain both 3D and 2D side-scrolling gameplay, while the handheld incarnation will primarily use the 2D side of the spectrum (as found in "Sonic Rush" and "Sonic Rush: Adventure) but use both of the DS' screens. Whether "Sonic: Colours" can be a return to form for the series remains to be seen, but there's no sign of a Werehog yet...
