The world's fastest hedgehog is to return after Sega Europe unveiled plans to release Sonic and the Secret Rings on March 2 for the Nintendo Wii system.
Created specifically to take advantage of the Wii remote, according to Sega, "Sonic and the Secret Rings delivers one of the most intuitive and engaging Sonic adventures to date".
Holding the Wii remote horizontally, players tilt the controller left and right to control Sonic’s signature speed. They will jump, perform sliding stops, pull off homing attacks with the controller, and even walk backwards with a tilt. Players will also be able to hop aboard winged pots and fly with a vigorous shake of the controller, as well as launch themselves from catapults with a whip of the Wii Remote.
Featuring 100 missions within eight worlds, Sonic’s abilities can be strategically equipped based on the demands of the mission ahead, including a boost called Speed Break to an ability called Time Break that slows the world around him to a near stop
In addition to the single player adventure, Sonic and the Secret Rings offers 40 mini-games that support up to four players. Claimed to showcase the abilities of the Wii Remote, players will use the controller as a violin bow, an ax, a canoe paddle and dozens of other motions.
