SEGA's favorite blue mascot character has found his way onto the Nintendo Wii. Sonic the Hedgehog Rewrites the Arabian Nights in a completely new adventure exclusive to the Nintendo Wii Console.
Sonic's new adventure unfolds from a storybook of the classic tale, Arabian Nights. The last several pages from the book have gone missing, and it's up to Sonic to re-create the story. The title features colorful new environments filled with mosaic tiles, glistening oases, swaying palm trees and crumbling stone columns. The hedgehog triggers specific areas in the world to execute new stunts and tricks and can speed, jump, dodge and dash his way onto victory.
Screenshots of the game look great! We seriously cannot wait to get ahold of it and begin gameplay.

"Sonic Wild Fire and the innovative Wii controller changes the way gamers play interactive entertainment," said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president of SEGA of America, Inc. "SEGA is excited to lead the gameplay revolution through its support of Wii with a Sonic release built exclusively for this new system."
Here's how the game utilizes the Wii controller, according to SEGA. "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 a single-player mode, the title boasts unique controller-enhanced mini-games that can be played with or against friends.
Sonic Wild Fire hits Wii in 2007.
