Sonic Wildfire is the name of the next-generation video game featuring Sonic the Hedgehog to be released exclusively on Nintendo's Wii sometime in 2007. It will be a completely different game than its Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 counterpart, Sonic the Hedgehog. It will take full advantage of the Wii's unique controller.

Known Info

• According to SEGA's press release announcing the game, Sonic's new adventure unfolds from a storybook of the classic tale, Arabian Nights, the last several pages from the book have gone missing, and it's up to Sonic to re-create the story. Other than that, little is known about Sonic Wild Fire.

• According to the press conference at E3, it was announced that this game will also feature mini-games, incorporating a multiplayer feature into the game.

• The game only features Sonic as a playable character. However, this is somewhat questioned as this wouldn't make sense for the Multiplayer Modes (four Sonics versus against each other? doesn't make much sense does it). [1]

Control

Players will hold the controller horizontally, tilting it forward quickly to "dash-attack" foes. Sonic's movement will also be controlled by tilting the controller left or right, much like a steering wheel.

Besides the main campaign, Sonic Wild Fire will also have an assortment of minigames, all of which focus on the Wii's motion-sensing controller.
