Sonic Colors: Ultimate

Sonic Colors: Ultimate is more than just a port of the Wii game. Aside from upgraded visuals, the developers are included new features as well.

We previously heard about elements like the new Rival Rush mode. This week’s Famitsu also goes over a new gameplay system: “Tails Save” (official English name TBA).

Update (5/30): The Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia is up on Amazon Canada and Amazon UK now. We’ve also added in a product description below.


Original (5/19): Several months ago, the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia from Dark Horse and SEGA was revealed. The book will be celebrating Sonic’s 30th anniversary by highlighting “nearly every one of the blue speedster’s video game appearances”. It’s a treat for fans with “in-depth looks at the characters, settings, and stories from each exciting installment”.

There’s now some additional news about the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia. Over on Amazon, the retailer has listed a special Deluxe Edition. The page unfortunately lacks a proper product description, though based on the image above, it will at least include a different cover, art prints, and a slipcase.

Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia is currently planned for November 23.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate

Update (5/29): This was unavailable for a bit on Amazon, but is currently back up on Amazon. Best Buy has pre-orders here.


Update: Amazon has now started taking pre-orders here.


Original (5/27): Pre-orders have started to open for Sonic Colors: Ultimate, which was just announced earlier today. GameStop has it here.

More retailers should be opening pre-orders soon. As additional listings go live, we’ll keep you informed.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate is due out for Switch on September 7.

As part of yesterday’s Sonic Central presentation, SEGA confirmed that the next Sonic game is in the works for Switch. But aside from platforms and a 2022 release window, not much else has been said about the project. We weren’t even provided with an official name as part of the reveal.

However, it’s possible that the upcoming game will be titled “Sonic Rangers”. That news actually comes directly from SEGA itself. In a press release going around, this blurb has been spotted:

More than a decade after Sonic Colors first appeared on Wii, the game is seeing new life on Switch as Sonic Colors: Ultimate. GameXplain has now put together a video comparing the two versions.

Here’s the full video:
