Nintendo Wii Exclusive Sonic Colors Could Be Lighting Up PS4

Sweet. Loved this game on Wii

But not on PS5? Bruh.

@Milt You can play PS4 games on a PS5!

@JoeyTS I know, but i was expecting a PS5 version too with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Although i'm ok with it only available on PS4 because it's backwards compatible like you said.

Was an OK Wii game, was graphically impressive for the system and hopefully PS4 would boost it up to 60fps. I'd actually like Sonic Lost World on something other than Wii U. Not played Lost World myself, but looked increasingly different to the other games (I did have the 3DS version).

The wii and ds games were actually very different. The ds game was a 2d side scroller a la sonic mania, and the wii game was obviously more of a 3d platformer. Both were excellent and i'd happily play a port of either on PS4/5

I love this game and can't wait for this if it's true. It's also made me realise how rarely Sonic games get remade.

@Royalblues "They should do the same for Generations, which isn't as bad as everyone made it out to be"

Eh, what? Generations is considered to be one of the best Sonic titles by most fans

@Royalblues who made Generations out to be bad? It's probably the most well-liked 3d sonic game by the general population and fanbase

Not my favorite 3D Sonic game but it was definitely a pretty stunning game for Wii at the time and would definitely look pretty stellar with an HD makeover

@Royalblues oh I see. haven't played that one but from what I've heard the day stages should be pretty fun but it's the werewolf parts which many dislike. But I'd still like to give it a try if they would remaster it

I missed this game when it first released and I finally got around to playing a few months ago. I just couldn't play passed the first few levels. The graphics were too dated and I found control and movement to be a bit clunky. This is coming from a lifelong sonic fan. I thought the soundtrack was great, though.

I was genuinely surprised that I couldn't enjoy it since I've heard great things about it and it is often compared to Sonic Generations, which I loved. Especially since I play older games regularly and can usually adjust to them.

Maybe some updated graphics and controls will change my mind.

@Royalblues. Wtf you talking about.🤔😴.sonics generations is considered as the best 3d sonics.man u dont know Nothing about sonic.word up son

@RubyCarbuncle I didn't know that, strange went to PC over PS4 though. Maybe Nintendo had some sort of console exclusivity, or perhaps it just didn't do well enough for SEGA to think worth a port.

@Royalblues does he still sign everything off 'word up son' 🙄? Yeahhhh id just ignore him

@Ristar24 Nintendo did have an exclusivity deal. They signed off on SEGA making their next few Sonic games exclusive to their hardware from 2013-2014

The games that were part of that deal were Sonic Lost World, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, and the two Sonic Boom games that came out to tie in with the TV show. All those games were exclusive to either the 3DS, the Wii U or both

@TheFrenchiestFry Thanks for the clarification, I remember Sonic Boom looked awful. Be good if Lost World gets a more general release some day, as I say I had the 3DS version and was pretty good.

I don't recall ever playing Sonic Colors so I'd be up to giving it a try on the PS4.

"It’s been over a decade since Sonic Colors first released"

Oh damn, I didn't realized it had been this long until now.

Would really be nice to have all 3 of the Wii's exclusive Sonic titles out on it. Sonic and The Secret Rings could come for the VR if even (although the speed could make some people sick...including myself). I'm good on re-playing the Sonic Colors game though, was pretty good on Wii.

Played so many Wii games at the time but never got around to this. I heard it’s one of the better 3D Sonic games out there.

I never owned this game but I played it before and remember it being a ton of fun. Definitely one of the better 3D Sonic games of the bunch. I’d definitely buy this if it’s true!

This is just the beginning. There should be more Sonic projects coming for the 30th anniversary celebration. Sonic is a man-hedgehog now. ^^
Wait... scrap that. I just got flashbacks of his first movie design. /killitwithfire
But, yeah Sonic announcements this year. There will be more.

I liked it enough that I would definitely buy it again, up there with Generations and the Sonic Adventure games as the only worthwhile 3D Sonic games.

I hope porting over Wii games becomes a giant trend and Capcom jumps in and gives me Tatsunoko vs Capcom already. I was left waiting for a PS3 port (awful wii controllers were awful) and to this day I'm still waiting 😐

It will be interesting to see the reception to this in a post Forces world. I don't think a lot of people outside of the hardcore Sonic fandom realise just how similar those two games are.

@RubyCarbuncle really? I only ever got 60fps on Lost World PC, and it's not a demanding game at all.

@Milt I would expect a PS5 version. Sega CS2/Sonic Team also recently put out Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 on both 4 and 5. Unless Sonic Team aren't the ones handling this?

@RubyCarbuncle hmm... last time I played it, it was on a 1080p monitor. It sounds like the issue is the game doesn't play well with ultra HD resolutions? I'll need to check that out. Interesting.

I wondered about a ps4 version when I saw the Switch one. Still have the wii game, so it's a possibility. I remember liking it but being confused on the collectables and which levels to do after the first few. I've always wanted to give it a proper playthrough, though, so I'll see what they do with this and maybe check the trophy list out.

@HammerKirby Me... Solely me and he is quoting me.

@JLPick that's the only way I'd play that game again tbh.

@Milt not sure if ur serious or not. it being on the ps4 means its playable on the ps5

there was a level of sonic colors in sonic generations , so playstation did get a taste of colors. they need to do a generation sequel with new levels but same concept.

Thats a shame , the weakest of the boost-games pre sonic forces that's mostly 2D platforming garbage instead of being what the whole boost formula was initially about with unleashed starting it. Unleashed would've been 10x better than this garbage , it was pushing the 7th gen consoles to its limits in every category so if it were to be remastered for ps4 it would've been on an console that couldve really handled its potential.

waste of time game ; rather no news at all about sonic games than this, smh.

@Juanalf someone's never played unleashed. i swear its always the downgraded games that get the most praise. if generations is the only 3d sonic worth playing then unleashed is a masterpiece.

@Royalblues unleashed was a quality game. people just refuse to have their own opinions . whatever the initial opinion of a game was , it becomes a meme and the internet rides the same old wave forever.

Not played colours I did make the mistake of buying sonic forces though was the worst sonic game I've ever played luckily sonic mania redeemed it & the movie was great too

@nomither6 Unfortunately I did. Don't get me wrong the normal Sonic stages were great and if it was just that it would be up there, but the werehog parts exists so yeah that brings the whole thing down for me.

I love Sonic, but I never got to play this one back in the day. I'm really stoked for this if it's true.

@Juanalf probably played the wii/ps2 version. ps3/360 version werehog wasn't any more annoying and intrusive than 2D sonic in generations .

As long as it is a decent game. The past few have been...lacking

@Royalblues yep, they seen all the memes of furry fan-art and look how forces turned out . game devs should know whats best for their game more than the fanbase could ever. especially the sonic fanbase , their inputs should never be worth consideration because its either asinine and/or could change by the next hour.
