Sonic Game For Wii Announced

Sonic Wild Fire will be hitting the Wii exclusively.

Featuring Sonic recreating the last seven pages of Arabian Nights, the game will take Sonic through a "prismatic environment" containing "brightly colored mosaic tiles, glistening oases, swaying palm trees, and crumbling stone columns". Wild Fire is being developed by SEGA Studios, rather than Sonic Team, and will be out in 2007.

The use of the controller seems most interesting though: "Gamers will use the Wii controller to steer Sonic and experience an untapped freedom in gameplay and control. Hold the controller horizontally with two hands and tilt left and right to steer Sonic on different paths and maneuver deftly from obstacles and enemies. Continue to tilt and fling forward to dash-attack ground and air enemies and to break down barriers."

In addition to this, the game will feature single and multi-player minigames. Anyone else reminded of the tech demos for the unreleased Saturn game Sonic X-Treme?
