Hasta La Gadget!

If you’re a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog and the Sonic franchise, you’ve probably heard that there will be a new Sonic game that will be released later this year. The title is called Sonic Boom and it will be the third and final Sega game that will be an exclusive to Nintendo.

Sure the game will be naturally getting an upgrade in graphics, as is the case with most new games, but if you have been playing Sonic games for many years and you’ve even followed the cartoon back in the day, you’ll notice that Sonic Booms’ Sonic looks a little different from the past.

Based on feedback spotted around the internet, not everyone is a fan of the new design, but gamers can rest assured that it could have been much, much worse. (more…)

Early Sonic Boom Character Designs Were “Traumatic” For The Sonic Team original content from Ubergizmo.

It is less than 30 days away before Sonic Lost World is launched for the masses, so here is yet another trailer for you to whet your appetite. The latest Sonic Lost World trailer will provide an extended look at the game’s enemies, and they will be known as the “Deadly Six”. Not quite as evil sounding as the Sinister Six of Marvel Comics’ fame, but I guess it will do in a cartoon-like environment. The half dozen baddies that you will go up against will all come with a name that starts with the letter ‘Z’, that is, Zor, Zazz, Master Zik, Zavok, Zomom and Zeena.

There has been speculation going around that Zavok is going to be the leader among the dirty dozen listed above, since the rest of them do not seem to be archnemesis material, featuring some rather boring personalities. Of course, we could be wrong on this count, as for all you know, Zavok might just end up as the muscle of the group, and it goes without saying that without the presence of Dr. Eggman around in a direct manner, he could be the puppet master pulling all of the strings. All we need to do is wait until October 22nd rolls around and we can get cracking on Sonic Lost World on the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

Sonic Lost World Trailer Revealed original content from Ubergizmo.

Sonic will be back for what looks to be another great adventure on the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in SEGA’s upcoming game, Sonic Lost World. The game was announced this past May with another trailer hinting at an October release date. During yesterday’s Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo announcing Sonic Lost World would be releasing on October 18 in Europe, while the U.S. will get the game on October 22.

Sonic Lost World Headed To Wii U, 3DS On October 22 original content from Ubergizmo.

Games like Mario and Sonic were side scrolling games when they were first introduced, although their later incarnations brought a touch of 3D to the mix. You might recall a while back there was a video where the game of Super Mario Bros. was played from a first-person’s perspective, and if you thought that was cool, would Sonic the Hedgehog played from a first-person’s perspective be of interest to you? Given that Sonic involves a lot of running and spinning, we reckon a bit of motion-sickness could occur, but it’s still an interesting perspective nonetheless.

Put together by Filipe B. Costa, it basically runs through the Green Hill Zone and you get to see what Sonic could be like if it had been a first-person game. Like we said there’s a bit of running, jumping and spinning involved, so if you’re the type that suffers from motion-sickness, you might want to stay away from the video, but if you’re fine, spare a couple of minutes and check it out in the video above!

My favorite has to be the Akira/Pac-Man/Ghostbusters mashup. “Tetsuoooo!!! Waka-Waka!!!”
