Hey, you remember that announcement of Sonic 4 that seemed to spell the end for the 3D Sonics that have plagued the past few generations. Well forget it. Sega have announced on their blog and a through a press release Sonic Colours, which appears to be taking place in a futuristic Sci-Fi theme park, as you attempt to save wisps from, surprisingly, Dr. Eggman.

These Wisps give Sonic extra powers. No, I’m not sure what this game is going to consist of, with the announcement trailer above being only 20 seconds of computer generated images, but I’m going to guess at it being a platformer.

The only other thing we know is that Sonic Colours will be coming to Wii and DS later this year. And that my americanised spell check is freaking out over me spelling colours with a u. Good work Sega, good work.
