By know I’m sure everyone know just how terrible Sonic Boom was on the Wii U. I did a review on it when the game dropped and it was the first disc based game I bought for my new Wii U (Smash came with my bundle). The game was a travesty on a multitude of levels, but at the very least we got some really funny YouTube videos showing just how broken the game was.
Still, Sega in the infinite wisdom, and having their ear to the market of what consumer want, have announced a new Sonic Boom title that will be dropping for the Nintendo 3DS this holiday season. I’ll let Sega explain:
Developed by Sanzaru Games Inc., Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is a single player game with collaborative gameplay components that shares key characters, events, and lore of the Sonic Boom universe. Players will see Sonic and his friends in familiar settings as they embark on a brand new adventure to battle Dr. Eggman as well as an all-new super villain, D-Fekt. The team’s adventures will bring them to locations both familiar and new as they explore, race and protect their world.
To create an entirely new experience, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice will infuse fire and ice elements throughout gameplay, enabling new abilities to play out in special character moves and interactions with environments. The new title also delivers gameplay that enables players to run through the game at top speed, or take their time with deeper exploration and puzzle play.
New to the title is the introduction of Bot Racing, a supplemental game tied to the single player story with multiplayer gameplay. The new Bot Racing feature is an extension of Sonic Boom: Fire &; Ice that is purely about racing and speed, where a user will unlock character themed Bots to challenge friends on fast courses or tracks.
At the very least Sonic Boom Fire & Ice can’t be as bad as it’s console big brother. Right… RIGHT?!?!?! Check out the trailer below:
