SEGA® Europe Ltd. & SEGA® America, Inc., are excited to reveal the Color Power of the next Wisp in Sonic Colors. The Orange Wisp is ready to help Sonic put a stop to the diabolical plans of Dr. Eggman!
When Sonic absorbs the Orange Wisp’s Orange Rocket Color Power, he blasts into the air in an explosion of color, reaching unparalleled heights at staggering speed. Thanks to the Color Power of the Orange Wisp, Sonic is able to reach secret areas and hidden rings far beyond his normal reach, traveling through the air at a pace never before seen!
Each new Wisp discovered in Sonic Colors gives the player a brand new way to play this pure Sonic experience. Look out for more to be revealed soon!
Sonic Colors will be available on the home video game system Wii™ and the Nintendo DS™ system late in 2010 and the Orange Wisp will be available on both platforms.

Online play a possibility for Kid Icarus: Uprising
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
“The online capabilities are currently being tested. There could be some versus play but we can’t go into any detail. There are a lot of capabilities that expand on what was in the DS that people are taking advantage of.” – Masahiro Sakurai
Online play was something that I hadn’t really thought about. Although, there certainly could be an opportunity to do something neat in that area, especially with the 3DS’ expanded online functionality.
