Reporter Jim Cordeira of Gaming-Age.com reports that Sonic for Wii has gotten an official title...and it's not "Sonic Wild Fire".

Here's what he had to say:
" We just received word that the upcoming and anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog title for the Wii finally has an official title.

Drumroll please... "Sonic Wild Fire" is now officially known as "Sonic and the Secret Rings". The new title is perhaps a little overly descriptive, but it's not bad. Sega is playing up the Arabian Nights theme with the game, so the new title seems in line with that.

Sonic and the Secret Rings is due out in early 2007. Make sure to check back soon for more information and media."

WHAT? What is wrong with "Sonic Wild Fire"? The name has grown on me!! When you hear "Sonic and the Secret Rings", it's like...eh nice name. But when we all heard the name "Sonic Wild Fire"...it was like Alright!!!

It is rumored that this new name for the Sonic Wii title is official due to word from SEGA Europe. I personally would like to see a statement coming directly from SEGA Europe! I'd also like to see the reason for renaming this title. "Sonic Wild Fire" seems to fit better, in my opinion. "Sonic and the Secret Rings" just seems like a kiddie title and maybe that's what they are aiming for.

Well, whatever fits the game best is what the title will be, I guess. I still like "Sonic Wildfire", but maybe "Sonic and the Secret Rings" would grow on me as well. Who Knows!!
