Nintendo and SEGA announce Sonic Boom video game and TV series and give the sonic gang a new look! [video]

Nintendo and SEGA have just unveiled some pretty big news for Sonic the Hedgehog fans! A new Sonic game and TV series have just been revealed and they are both titled Sonic Boom. SEGA wanted to create a new Sonic title to be specific for Western audiences and to go along with that idea they gave the Sonic gang (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy) a new updated look.

I actually really like these updated looks and although fans seem to be against the new look of Knuckles, I like him as well. Knuckles needed a little bit more of a distinction between himself and Sonic and this accomplishes that perfectly.

Below you can watch the trailer for the Sonic Boom video game being released for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.




And the trailer for the Sonic Boom television series to air on Cartoon Network.



I have to admit that the last few Sonic titles haven't excited me too much but I really like the visual look that Sonic Boom has and am excited to see how the game and show progress. What do you think of the new look? Will you be following Sonic into his new adventures?
