First Sonic Unleashed Wii Screens

The first shots from the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed have emerged as the blue wonder returns to Nintendo.

Sonic Unleashed is the next-generation installment of the all-out speed franchise seeing versions for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PS2. Dimps will be handling development for the Wii and PS2 versions, having had previous success with Sonic Advance and Rush.

A pair of scanned screens from Nintendo Power recently emerged on GoNintendo complete with comparision shots to the Xbox 360 version:

Come on, the wii is more than capable of that.

Its a shame really

Silogon6519d ago

No, sadly it's not. That is the wii's capabilites. It's last gen hardware, man. What do you expect?

Sexius Maximus6519d ago

The Wii (which I happily own) has nearly identical specs as the original Xbox. I am pumped for a current gen version of this game though.

Godoftheweek6519d ago

It the Wii were capable of more, why have we not seen it? And do not point out SMG, or MP3, those games to me do not look any better. There may be some sugar-coating to make those games appear to look better than they are but do not kid yourself, as Siligon stated, the Wii is LAST-GEN.

I am not flaming, or trolling...I am just stating a simple FACT that for some reason the Nintendo faithful REFUSE to see.

Face it, you paid $250 or very likely more for a slighty overclocked with more memory GAMECUBE. Nintendo is raping the consumer by charging that ridiculous amount for grossly outdated technology. And the controller? Sure it can do some neat things, but it is hardly NEW nor REVOLUTIONARY as Nintendo would have you believe.

Pull your heads out of the sand and look around Nintendo faithful, you will see that Nintendo has once again tricked you into re-buying the GameCube.

SkullBlade6519d ago

Get the PS3 version, it should have similar motion sensing capability of the Wii version. (Tilt) but it will have graphics similar to the 360 version.

nintendojunkie286519d ago

Silogan why do you always show up on the wii message boards...If you hate the wii so much and it's so inferior ..why even bother.You've got to be an xbox fanboy.......for a system that's just a novelty/toy you sure do seem to care about it alot.

Mr Fancy Pants6519d ago (Edited 6519d ago )

sonic doesn't even has a shadow on the wii version... i think sega can do better then that.

resistance1006519d ago

Look at SMG and MP3:C if you don't believe me.

awwwwwww i was hoping for a 2D sonic game since this one is made by the same crew who made Sonic on the DS.

Intrepid6519d ago

While I know that the Wii version won't look anything like the 360/PS3 version, I don't like comparing scans to online pictures. I'm sure it looks slightly better than what's shown here.

tojfs79316519d ago

Those are still frame shots taken from the game.

Intrepid6519d ago

Yes, they are in game shots, but they are also scanned onto the computer. That explains the fuzziness.

ChickeyCantor6519d ago

" once again tricked you into re-buying the GameCube"
So when i got my self a N64....i was buying an underpowered gamecube ?! =0 interesting.

Veryangryxbot6519d ago

The wii is an overclocked gamecube. That is a fact. Just look at its technical stats. Its the same as Gamecube cept its runs a little faster.

Thats why people call it overclocked.

When you buy an N64, you didnt bought a underpowered gamecube. That doesnt even make sense. Youre trying to hard, fanboy.

Wii is overclocked Gamecube whether you like it or not. Thats why all the games look almost similar to Gamecube style. Cepts a little sharper if the developers are willing to work longer on it (higher costs). Most however just make a gamecube game on wii hardware and consider that good enough. Thats why most games dont look better than Gamecube.

What you gonna do about it. I told you so. If you want to play real next gen games, there is only one choice. Here is a hint. There is a Blu Ray played included in the system.

ChickeyCantor6519d ago (Edited 6519d ago )

Hold your horses!!

he said : "once again tricked you into re-buying the GameCube. "
Once again RE-buying.........mind the once again?

If the Wii is just a GCN,then wtf was the other thing that makes the Wii the second time?

And no you go play NExt gen games, ill just play games.

Intrepid6519d ago

Veryangryxbot didn't get it. Gay didn't realize he used repitition.

Dedicated Sonic Fans Have Managed to Unofficially Port Sonic Unleashed to PC

Sonic Unleashed on PC? The Sonic community managed to do just that with with the fan project "Sonic Unleashed Recompiled."

PRIMORDUS427d ago

Actually the torrent is up and you do not need to own the 360 version of the game. Also it will never be taken down.

Chocoburger426d ago

Nice, I found it on 1337x! I actually liked many parts of this game, but some parts are also shitty. Its uneven, but overall a decent game.

PRIMORDUS426d ago

1337x is one of my favorite ever since the real RARBG went down. I usually only get from FitGirl or DODI.

gold_drake426d ago

u gotta give the hardcore fans credit, they are committed to fix segas 3d sonic games ha.

I think it's best we leave these games we're they belong...in the past

Secret Rings, Unleashed, Black Knight etc, they weren't the best at least enough for a remaster

Generations is getting one because they had something easy to shove Shadow into before the Sonic 3 film and it's probably the better ones they've did over the past decade or so.

rayford15690d ago

Unleashed was one of my favorite P3 games would love a remastered version

NSANiTY689d ago

Minus the Werehog levels and I'm in.

Redgrave690d ago

Would be called.... Sonic Re-Leashed

Father__Merrin689d ago

Wouldn't mind a sonic 06 re release

gold_drake426d ago

gimme sonic heroes already!!!

If I have to read another one of these lists that contains the sentence "The game that started it all" I'm gonna go nuts.

And when it comes to fan favourite zones in Sonic 3 (he mentioned Hydro City, Marble Garden and Launch Base), I'd replace Launch base and Marble Garden with Ice Cap zone. Never heard anyone refer to the others as favourites.

NJShadow1399d ago (Edited 1399d ago )

I sorta' stopped caring about this list when I saw Sonic Spinball (a genuinely great game) ranked lower than some of the noted atrocities.

Pyrofire951398d ago

Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is still my favorite kart racer.
I've never really been able to play online tho. D:
Can't even play Team Sonic Racing online cause the servers are broken and don't queue people together.
P.S. This is such a random list. I really don't agree with it. Maybe this really is how they rank it but them just seems odd personally.
