Excellent news! I've been waiting for news on the Sonic Riders sequel for a while now. Should be interesting to see Riders on the Wii, but why a PlayStation 2 version? I thought this was supposed to be a "Next-Gen" game. Oh well, I suppose it's a good thing I still have my PS2 then.

Even if just confirmed for PS2 so far, this means I can play it even if it doesn't see the light of Wii. But, it most likely will, cause the Sonic fanbase on Wii is too high to let down ^^

It's on Wii, also, guys. However, about the article... I do believe that they were referring to characters "new" to Sonic Riders as opposed to being "brand new" to the series.

The more characters they add to the Sonic series the better for me, but if they dont add any new, then im still fine, as long as you can play around 20 characters or more and that the games has FAR more racing stages than ust diferent versions of the original ones.

So it's not gonna be on the 360... or do I need to wait and find out... I'd rather see it on the 360 and PS3 since it's my favorite.

THANK GOD! They got rid of the turbulence system! Of course, there's no telling what kind of 'fun' the zero gravity will induce...

Hey, the turbulence system was cool. It was one of the only features that seperated Sonic Riders from all the other cardboard-cutout skate games.

It's even got a name for gods sake, they've leaked the information a bit before Sega does, they'll announce it soon. |

I mean come on, theres a giant magazine cover, the game is plastered on just about all the major game sites. What more do you need? Also this is how Sonic gems and Sonic Rush was announced. |

What are you talking about soti? New characters is what keeps sonic team working.

I hope the new characters, if they truly are new, somehow connect to either the Babylon Rogues or this new artifact. Or better yet, I hope that the artifact ties in with the Babylonian past. I really hate when Sonic Team just keeps on sprouting new characters and plot-points when they don't fully use their old ones to the fullest. That's why I loved Sonic Rivals so much.As for the gameplay, sounds cool, and I like how they're re-working the gameplay, especially to fit the plot. I hope it turns out better than the mediocre prequel, which I ended up trading. |

Awesome. I love the first Sonic Riders. I can't wait for this one. I hope they add all the chaotix including Mighty, Heavy and Bomb. They should also add Silver, Blaze, Omega, Gamma, Chaos, Tikal, Bark, Bean, Metal Sonic, Robo Knuckles, Egg Robo, Puppet Tails, Chao Walker, Dark Chao Walker, Emeril, Scratch and Grounder. Did I miss anyone?

Sweet!I think thet're overdoing it on new characters... but who am I to complain? I'm practically in love with Blaze and Silver :P Thank goodness it's on the Wii! I don't want to buy a whole new system just for one lousy game, like I (regretably) did for Sonic '06. |

Sonic Riders is pure awesomeness in the racing genre. And of course, I liked it. Now that there's going to be a sequel to the original game, I'm officially glad. I hope to see the new Sonic characters.However, the game's sequel had better be as good and completed as the original, or else I'm going to be rather disappointed, like Sonic 06 was. |

I think this will be as boring as the first because Sonic has no allies in this one.In fact I think this one will be WORSE than the first.

has no allies in this oneYeah... because Sonic and Jet is the final character list... Come on... this is a preview, if even that! Of course theres going to be other characters in it. |

Bah, I have come to the conclusion that 98% of most Sonic games will have new characters introduced in them and made peace with that conclusion. Also, there is nothing wrong with more "fetarded" hawk things, as long as it isn't another damn hedgehog.And while you gripe about your new characters, I wonder how they will pull the gameplay side off. The "gravity" aspect seems very interesting; however, I hope they address the problems from the first game, like the instablity of the level up system. (If I'm at level three, and I fall off a cliff, I expect to go down to level one. But if I'm at level three, and I get hit by an attack, I expect to only go down to level two? But that is what I expected, not what I got! D:<) |

ya that is very true like if they made a new super smash bros (besides brawl) and featured all sonic charecters versus nintendo they would still outnumber them.

It could be really good on the Wii although it may have some stupid twist with the controls. =p
