Sonic Boom: The Musical

Last week, SEGA shocked the world with the announcement that shocked the Sonic fandom worse than Shadow the Hedgehog did in 2005.  No I'm not talking about Sonic's engagement to Princess Elise.  I'm taking about Sonic Boom



Sonic's first cartoon since Sonic X.  And here I thought SEGA got it right with AOSTH. 

Much like Sonic X, Sonic Boom will take place in its own universe, featuring completely redesigned characters, from Sonic going Nathan Drake, to Tails geeking out, to Knuckles beefing out, to Amy going all Kunoichi.



In addition, SEGA has announced that BigRedButton, consisted of former members of Naughty Dog, will be developing the tie-in game for the Wii U as the 3rd Nintendo Exclusive of the Sonic 3(A 3DS version will be done by Sanzaru Games, known for their work on porting the Sly Cooper trilogy to the PS3, plus the most recent Sly Cooper game)




In addition, the game will feature all new tag-team based gameplay that lets you utilize two of the four playables: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy.  There will also be new mechanics using the new Enerbeam system.

Man.  Those changes to Sonic and friends and all this un-orthodox designs.  I'm glad at least the Chaos Emeralds are staying put.




A whole slew of new details regarding Sonic Boom have surfaced thanks to the above interview brought to our attention by SSMB member Storme. As well as giving us a more extensive look at the New York venue for SEGA’s big announcements last week, it reveals some intriguing changes to the traditional Sonic premise – chief among them, the absence of the Chaos Emeralds in the Boom universe. How this will affect the story and mythos of the new series remains to be seen, but it does throw an appearance by Super Sonic or any other super forms (and arguably even the Master Emerald) into doubt.




NO CHAOS EMERALDS?  But how will Sonic figure out how to rip off Goku of Dragon Ball Z?  Wait.  Sonic isn't going Super Sayian this time around?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
