Sonic Unleashed and a 4Kids major screw up

Behold, the new E3 trailer for the next Sonic the Hedgehog game, "Sonic Unleashed"!

Quite different from the old 32-bit games, huh? I gotta say, this looks like it's going to be one of the best 3D Sonic games ever!

My current tier for Sonic 3D games:

1. Sonic Adventure 2 (introduced Shadow and Rouge)
2. Sonic Adventure (after Sega Genesis 32-bit 3D Blast, this was the next 3D game)
3. Shadow the Hedgehog (play as the anti-hero Shadow; use vehicles and weapons to decide to be a hero, villian, or neutral)
4. Sonic Heroes (complete levels using teamwork)
5. Sonic and the Secret Rings (first Wii game, controls very flawed)

*Note: I can't rank "Sonic the Hedgehog" for the X-Box and PS, because since I don't have those systems, I haven't played it. I've heard bad things though...

Anyway, in case you're wondering what's up with Sonic transforming into a beast in that video, the answer is that in this game, Sonic is able to transform into a creature called a "werehog". While it hasn't been said how this is possible, I reckon Dr. Robotnik/Eggman probably exposes Sonic to energies both from Chaos Emeralds and the moon. The result appears to be Sonic losing his signature speed and instead gains close combat abilities with his claws.

As for the other piece of my title, in case y'all didn't know, the Yu-gi-oh cartoon is dubbed into English by 4Kids, which makes sure to take out all the violence, language, and all other stuff that makes the Japanese version much better.

Well, although I swore off the American dub, I heard quite a bit of buzz around Pojo's Yugioh anime board about a more recent english episode. I had heard that one of the characters dropped the f-bomb. I know, I raised my eyebrow too and was naturally skeptical. I decided to check it out for myself. Here's the video, just skip to 4:57, saving you confusion and weakened plot crap:

Many say that the word Yubel (the creature talking) said is "fought" and that the voice synthesizer is warping the word, but that really does sound like "fucked". What do y'all think?

Regardless, it's still pretty funny, considering what 4Kids has censored in the past. XD

Well, gotta head out. Tonight is Smash Brother's Brawl night with my W buddies, and I'm itching for a good battle!

SR: Thank gawd for youtube, veoh, and all those other sites!

TR: I so want to see "Dark Knight"! XD

Later!
