Nintendo of Europe and SEGA of Europe have today confirmed that they have entered into a new distribution agreement for the forthcoming Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice scheduled to release exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems across Europe this Winter. Under the terms of the agreement Nintendo of Europe will be responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of the game throughout European territories, with SEGA of Europe remaining as publisher.

The iconic 'blue blur,' Sonic the Hedgehog, will be racing once again in Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice as the game introduces more adventure, speed, exploration, and an all-new fire and ice gameplay element that will help propel the action. The game will also feature the triumphant return of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Sticks.

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.

I wouldn't quite agree. Sonic Generations I enjoyed, first Sonic game I really got into since Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Also I'd add the advance games were decent and hero's is debatable (although I like it)

Colors and Lost World (WiiU) were quite good as well

I haven't played Lost World yet. I enjoyed Sonic Colors on the DS. The Wii version seemed like a step in the right direction for 3D Sonic, just not quite to the point where I really enjoyed it. I think what killed it for me was a framerate that didn't compliment the faster sequences.

I played the first one of Advance. It was okay, just seemed kind of generic to me at the time. I didn't enjoy Heroes at all.

I think the most recent Sonic game I've enjoyed is Freedom Planet.

Lost Worlds on WiiU is kind of like a better Colors

I've been intending to check it out, just never got around to it. I don't expect it to be as good as Generations, but if it's a smoother Colors, I can dig it.

I'll give it a point for the music.

This seems fitting.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

I wouldn't say close-minded, I'd say after all the Sonic games that have crashed and burned, no one has much hope for anything Sonic related.

actually the only game that was that bad was 06 and some little bit of shadow. The rest of the fuss is about people that can't handle change.

My body is eager, but my body will never be ready for this.
Sega, just let Sonic go! to the grave, of course...

 

[storm75x]

Ahahaha.
Sega is going to go down in the history as the most stubborn gaming company. Ever.

I love this company!

 

[Lucifer666]

I really liked Rise of Lyric

you what?

 

[storm75x]

this is sooooo confusing ... wasn't the previous Boom game crappier on the 3DS ?? how did these people think "lets make another 3ds one!!" instead of say ... WiiU ?

Because if it suck, it would suck in HD.

I have been wanting to get Lost World for a while now. It reminds me of a somewhat linear Super Sonic Galaxy. The demo I played was fun enough. I would entertain a whole game.

I found Lost World 'meh' myself.

It's not broken but I just found it wasn't that much fun, that said, some of the patches they've released may give you a better first impression and it's probably cheap enough now.

Personally I prefer colours myself, but then I only found that fun after I unlocked all the wisps and started collecting the red rings.

Chronicles, other than the puzzle elements, was halfway decent.

I remember my parents bought me Sonic Chronicles at one point when I was a disgustingly huge Sonic fan. (I was 8 or something at the time, I think.) I thought the whole game was amazing, now I realize that it was pretty bad. Now that I look back, I think the puzzle parts were okay, I remember the things you have to tap and slide and crap during battle for special moves being very unresponsive at times, and sometimes it was overly sensitive. I also remember walking around using the touch screen like it did was also kinda unresponsive in some areas, but other games that did something like that had the same issue. (An example would be Emily the Strange: Strangerous)

I bought Sonic Colours DS as a present for a friend a few years ago, he said it was pretty good too.
I've only played the first two levels of Sonic Colours Wii so far, but those were pretty good.

Since SEGA is making this one instead, I feel like it could be an overall better game, maybe. Shattered Crystal was the 3DS one, right? I played the demo (and still have it) and I thought it was okay, but it was definitely way better than what Rise of Lyric looked like it was like.

They should have stopped at Sonic CD and the Sonic Adventure Games. Everything since then has been redundant.

Sonic Colors was good.... Should have continued from there.

Awe man, that stinks, I kinda had SC on my SD card as something that i thought was a good game to play someday.

We should all remember Sonic Chronicles was developed by Bioware of Mass Effect and Dragon Age fame.

That sounds unbelievable now doesn't it?

I think that was one of the reasons I thought it was going to be a good game
