Hear that? That's the sound of a blue hedgehog getting up close and personal with a) gravity, and b) the floor. Ker-SPLAT!

Following the news that Sonic Unleashed will be delayed in Japan, we now have confirmation that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game will likewise get a later-than-scheduled release in North America. Despite these delays, the PS2 and Wii versions are on track for their release tomorrow.

Don't worry though, we may not have to wait as long as Japan does (they're getting the 360-PS3 versions by Spring 2009 - they called the "sales strategy" and "manufacturing schedule" cards in their region).

According to a Sega news release, Sonic Unleashed on the Xbox 360 gets a November 24 release in North America. No specific details yet for the PS3 version reschedule, but Sega's eyeing a December release.

I'm a huge sonic fan from back when I got Sonic 1 on SEGA. I freaking loved Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. And Sonic Adventure 1 on GCube. Well the last sonic was a let down for me because of the load times and Sliver, except this one to make up for it.

I'm going to get sonic unleashed on the wii so why does this matter to me? anyway why am I even saying this????



lol. IGN likes the wii version the best because it has the smoothest framerate. heheh. I hope the framerate issues are what caused the game to be delayed on the other systems.
