We haven't got long to wait for Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric on Wii U and it's 3DS counterpart Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal. They are both out on the 11th November in North America followed by Europe on 21st November.
To keep us entertained while we wait the crazy cats at SEGA have put together a TV commercial which shows the Sonic Boom gang cooperating together to rescue a cat. Perhaps they should leave it to the firemen eh?
Is Sonic Boom on your preorder list? Let us know what you think of this commercial and if you're excited for the game by leaving us a comment.

Sega and Nintendo are not even trying ...
I really want the Wii U one to be good but it's only a week to go (in the US) and I've barely seen any gameplay or coverage.
"Please, please like this one." -Sega
@BensonUii I think this is mainly Sega's doing not Nintendo's
We need a NEW Sonic U game in the same vein as NEW Super Mario Brothers U.
That's a cute ad.
But the game... I don't know what to think. Might turn out to surprise everyone.
i personly liked that trailer it sorta sumed up how sonic and co useto be (as in not "Profecinal" Heros) im looking forward to this game and have liked most of what i have seen (i was un impreced with a 2D part i saw in a vid Yes on WiiU)
@OneBagTravel Sonic 4 was supposed to be the answer to NSMB, but look how that turned out.
Now I know Sonic Team and Dimps aren't the ones making these games, however since Lost World I have been optimistic that any new Sonic games will be good. I'm not even trying to hype because I'd rather be shocked and surprised than gravely disappointed.
@Wolfgabe
Yeah but this is one of the exclusive deals with them. They should at least try to market/hype it (unless they knew it's crap).
I hope Thomas will review this one since he reviewed Lost World U so we'll get a better comparison.
If SEGA released some older Sonic games like Sonic 1-3&K, Adventure, Advanced or maybe even Generations, maybe I'd be more interested in playing a Sonic game on Wii U. The only reason I've been on the fence for Lost Worlds for so long is the Zelda DLC, which makes me worry that I might want the game for the wrong reasons, which is why I still don't have it.
@OneBagTravel So you want them to release four Sonic games that all use the exact same assets and music, and are devoid of anything that's actually 'new'?
Talk about overkill, lol. That was a decent trailer.
Really excited for this game. Already paid for it. Comes with a cool action figure as well.

@allav866 thats why i got it and it was definitely the wrong reason.
what the dink is going on here
@Guitardude7
Some people liked Lost World. People have always complained about 3D Sonic games. If anyone likes 3D Sonic games, it's pretty likely they'll be fine with the controls in this game. Go compare Sonic Adventure 2 or Sonic Heroes to Lost World, and the controls for 3D Sonic games have actually gotten alot better. It depends on who you're talking to, I guess.
I agree that people shouldn't be buying it for Zelda DLC, though. The Nintendo costumes and stuff are just bonus.
People are really hating on this commercial?
Really?
I don't know how the game is gonna be (personally I think it looks decent, but I'm super wary of anything Sonic these days) but the commercial is cute and funny.
Don't let your hatred of Sega, Sonic, Knuckles re-design or whatever other baggage people seem to have cloud you from enjoying a simple, fun little TV ad.
I thought it was a good commercial...
It's seems that Knuckles went to Mr. Incredible's School for Getting Cats Out Of Trees.
Also, I'm pretty sure that's the Honest Trailer voice at the end.
I played the game on Friday and it's too bad. The camera is a bit shoddy though and the graphics weren't great.
The 3DS version, I just played so I could get a free Smash Bros. dog-tag. Well worth it.
Saved a cat with the cost of a broken tree and house.
@SCAR392 I agree that wanting it for that DLC is getting it for the wrong reason. It's a very cool free extra, but it is very short, and I have not been very impressed with the rest of the game. I actually really enjoyed Adventure 1 and 2 though, and I think the controls were much easier in the Adventure games than what the 3D Sonic games now have to offer. Just my opinion on them though.
The show seems like it'd be fun based on this ad, but....please Sega, after this, no more Sonic games for at least 5 years. Focus on your GOOD franchises, not your dead one. Then after 5 or so years, you can bring back the blue rat and maybe finally have a decent Sonic game for once.
@Guitardude7 Yeah, Game and Wario is a much better game that I spent more than 1 hour in it! What a waste of my time, Nintendo!
@OneBagTravel
Yes we do, 2D platformer with 3d graphics, all fast, all fun, no add on's that screw it up...
@Guitardude7
I kind of agree, I downloaded the demo and child not figure it out... It's like someone took a SM galaxy world and then made it pointless... I was sad
Honestly idk why people are hating on this game, I think it looks amazing, I would be picking it up if it didn't come out with 4 other AAA titles lol I'll be picking it up next month after I'm done with the other games, but yeah this Sonic looks promising, I look forward to this on the show too, I guess people just don't like change.
Although I can understand this sense I'm still salty about nintendo with zelda spirit tracks.....
Sonic's scarf aside, I think the game might be decent, but I'll probably wait for some reviews. We'll see.
This is a very good ad Sega.
By the way come by I see my Sonic Boom Hype Train Marathon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOri7tRA-dY
Actually very good ad, made me smile I hope we get a similar ad in the UK.
Still unsure about the game, no new gameplay for a while is a bit of a concern, it's either going to be utter trash or a very good game. Hopefully the latter.
That was a cute commercial, but that game is going to have terrible dialogue, and we all know it.
I can't wait for this game. We don't get alot of open 3D Platformers that aren't Mario in the industry, and the 2 most notable ones (Disney Infinity, Skylanders) can cost up to $100 for a great experience.
I'm not judgy when it comes to Sonic games (I actually liked Sonic Lost Word, despite the noticeable flaws) so I'm sure I'll like the game.
HA HA HA!!! Ok guy...(Chuckles)...Funny joke. Where's the real commercial?

Is not bad don't know why people are hating on it.
so much hate on something that's not even out yet its ridiculous really i hope that this game will actually suprise people on how good it is so they can shut there mouth and teach them another lesson again the same lesson to never judge a game until you play it. btw seriously still complaining about the harmless designs you guys are bunch little kids im serious XD
I honestly find the character models a bit strange (Because everyone suddenly got taller???). I am a little interested in the game though, although its not the kind of Sonic game anyone has seen in the past years (Just Sonic and Platforms/Eggman... Occasionally Tails) It kinda, a tiny bit, looks somewhat like Sonic Heroes in some sort of way. Hope this game turns out well
@RedKnightXIII
1.Its sonic and other than Generation and Colors, gamers have this obvious feeling that Sonic isn't gonna live up to expectations unlike Mario.
2.Its something that no one has asked for or even thought it would happen so unless the community is confident that the series should start something new, we prefer the Modern Sonic just speeding and beating Eggman.
3.Nothing has ever been announced in the game, if you want to see something like new information, you need to rely on the sonic fanbase unlike in many cases where its announced everywhere.
I'm skeptical on how this game will work but this game better sell well because if it doesn't, Nintendo would really get angry that they trusted SEGA for the deal thing. I feel sorry for Nintendo more than SEGA because they wanted games from SEGA and three mediocre games is all they are getting from them! what a dump!
@Sergio151 Oh you!
I want this to be a good game.. Haven't pre-ordered or anything, but the talent behind has made good games, so I can dream.. It'd make a nice Christmas gift if it's good!
Meh, Sonic fans hating on Sonic games. What else is new ?
