The latest edition of Official Nintendo Magazine details the upcoming multi-platform Sonic outing: Unleashed.
Originally penned to be Sonic Adventure 3
Has no/little relation to previous 3D sonics, including 2006 and Secret Rings
The power of the 7 Chaos Emeralds are misused by Eggman and something changes inside Sonic's body.
Sonic heads around the world, with various different realistic locations.
No direct mechanics from Wii's Sonic Rings, but uses a move known as "quick step" to allow for fast movement left or right.
Sonic Boost allows for a quick boost in speed (much like in Secret Rings) by collecting rings throughout the course, as well as a Sonic Dash move.
Sonic's classic moves like spin and homing attacks make a return.
The game turns from day to night at times, day seeing Sonic in his usual form and at night players will slow down and manipulate objects...
In Unleashed players will also use the Nunchuck in some form (presumably for analogue movement)
New robot creatures developed by eggman, some darker elements and some colossal beasts (one would be about 7m tall)
Developed from scratch to be a completely new take on Sonic.
Interview with lead game designer Yoshihisa Hashimoto.
Sonic Unleashed is due for release later this year.
