Good God, Sonic Colors is lookin' great...

This newest trailer came out, and it only made me more pumped!

For anyone who hasn't heard, it's a new Sonic game coming to the Wii and DS on November 16th. The Wii version is essentially the day-time section of Sonic Unleashed, which was already better on the Wii anyway; the DS version is more like the Sonic Rush games, just without the bottomless pits of the first game or monotonous back tracking of the second.

I've already got it pre-ordered, because that means I get this.

I looked at the link and I was like "pssht, only impressive if it's an actual Sonic head-spikes hat"... and then it was.

Peeshaw. A new Sonic game is announced, I get excited, people inevitably find stuff to complain about, I have no way of knowing whether they full of it (as was the case with Sonic Unleashed, both versions) or they're right on the money (like with Sonic and the Black Knight, made even more depressing by how much I liked Secret Rings). Eh, at least Unleashed is the one I payed full price for...

I did the exact same thing when I first read about it.

Though I do admit that looks pretty sweet, I refuse to trust anything other than hands-ons experience.

I'm kind of secretly hoping that this game will be terrible because schadenfreude is the only emotion that Sonic games can instill in me anymore. I mean, if it was good, I just couldn't relate. It'd be like those wacky abstract paintings you see in museums. It just looks like a bunch of random shapes and splashes of color to you, but you hesitate to say anything because you figure if it's in a museum, it must be good, right? A good Sonic game would be equally incomprehensible.

Hey, _mike bought us a new gamepad for our Genesis. It has X, Y, and Z buttons! Isn't that so cool? We can play all our Sonic games together again without worrying about the second controller crapping out! Though, I spent yesterday playing Sonic 1 again, and that doesn't have Tails, so he couldn't play.

No, it just means that the artist replaced talent with bullshit, which the art community is convinced tastes like candy. I've seen too many black canvases in art museums with some faux-deep explanation to be fooled by that kind of thing.

On topic, Sonic Colors doesn't look too bad, but I am not nor have I ever been invested in the games, having grown up largely without them. It's just nice for other people if it's good.
