For the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 there is Sonic the Hedgehog Full Speed (or something like that) but for the Nintendo Wii there is Sonic Wild Fire which takes full use of the motion sensors. Sonic (for the first time since Sonic CD) goes on the adventure without Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, or any other character. They're focusing more on speed then ever before. First revealed at E3 2006, Sonic Wild Fire is expected to be a launch title for the Nintendo Wii or a release for early 2007.

GAH as a TRUE sonic fan I say they should kill him off.
Anything past the Genesis was just crap. They killed The Sonic Franchise, raped Sally, Skined Miles, And stuck knuckle's head on a stick and it pisses me off each time a new [what they call a] "Sonic" game is released.
Not true. The handheld Sonic games (Sonic Advance 1, 2, and 3 plus Sonic Rush) were so fun. They lived up to the Gensis Sonic. Sonic Wild Fire's gameplay looked great unlike Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog. Plus for the first time in a long time Sonic is going solo. About time!!
I dont think any series should be killed off after a few bad games, because any series that was good once can be good again. Them making a bad game doesnt effect you, just dont play it.
Sonic is Sonic there is no doubt about that. It's just the Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) had terrible camera angels, no lock-on making guns useless, a horrible story, 10 different endings that are useless, and 1 super ending that doesn't answer anything.
I don't care who you replaced Shadow with in that game it would still suck. But Sonic Wild Fire looks so good. They're focusing more on speed then anything else.
Good move with just having Sonic as the character.
I'm getting sick of the Sonic franchise as it currently stands.
Sonic Rush on the DS was great, but it made me play as some shitty female fox/rabbit/mutant who had shitty ballerina moves and was obviously designed by a retarded Barbie fan. Hrm Supersonic Blue Spinning Blade Motherf*cker Hedgehog? or Lame Bitchface Pink Freak?
They haven't designed a character as cool as Sonic, so what was the point in all those characters? Especially Shadow. I hope he becomes roadkill.
It's still a good game, and proof that Sonic isn't dead somewhere. A shifting of priorities and focus is all that the franchise needs. It looks as though the Wii Sonic is focussing on the right things.

I really liked the idea of Sonic R ...just simple running.. none of the hoverboard crap, or stupid made up vehicles... great music too.. unfortunately saturn didnt really have the power to give the game the feeling of speed it needed..
