SEGA released some extensive new gameplay footage of Puyo Puyo Chronicle today:

The folks at Gematsu have also translated some new info that was released at gamer.ne.jp today.

A new feature of Puyo Puyo Chronicle is the new “Skill Battle” rule. Players form a team of up to three characters and have to make good use of the skills that each character has. There are two types of skills – “Auto Skills” are triggered automatically under certain conditions, whereas “Special Skills” have to be manually activated by pressing the X button and cost MP.

Skills can have a variety of effects – changing the state of the puzzle field, recovering HP and so on. Each character has a variety of skills to choose from, and they also get more powerful the more you use them. Skills can help you beat the game even if you aren’t that good at puzzle games.

Head past the break for some new characters and the skills they possess:

The development of Sonic Heroes took its toll on director Takashi Iizuka, who is also the head of Sonic Team. Iizuka spoke to Game Informer this month about how difficult it was to create, even labeling it as the most stressful project of his career.

Iizuka was located in the United States as Sonic Heroes was being created. Meanwhile, the rest of the team was based in Japan. Mismanagement was also a major issue.

We’ve known about the Sonic the Hedgehog movie adaptation for a while now, but some new details have come to light regarding it.

As reported by Deadline, the project will be a “hybrid CG-animated/live action family film”, with Tim Miller as executive producer. Miller previously worked on the Deadpool movie, and was working on the sequel to the film until he recently left the project due to “creative differences”. He’s also the co-founder of Blur Studio, which is known for creating CGI cinematics. Alongside Miller will be script writers Patrick Casey and John Miller, both of whom handled the script for Golan the Insatiable. Neal H. Moritz will be producing the title, who was a part of the Fast and Furious film franchise. Blur Studio collaborator Jeff Fowler is on board as director.

Miller seems quite happy to be working with Fowler on the project, and said as such:

“Jeff is an incredible director with strong story instincts. The world of Sonic presents the perfect opportunity for him to leverage his experience in animation to bring new dimension to this iconic character.”

This week, SEGA held a special meet and greet event in Japan. A number of questions were answered at one point, and some small but interesting information about Project Sonic 2017 was shared. Twitter user BlueStorm_SONIC relayed the information.

First, it was mentioned that Project Sonic 2017 will feature a new character. Unfortunately, specifics weren’t shared beyond that. Another question touched on how connected the game is to Sonic Generations. While the two are separate, you’ll be able to play both classic stages in 2D and modern 3D stages, and another feature will be added on top of that.

Project Sonic 2017 is planned for a 2017 release on Switch and other platforms.
