With Sega keeping schtum on the whole Sonic Unleashed project, retailers have started to list the game for a Wii release.

US Retailer EB Games has placed Sonic Unleashed for a November 4th release, keeping in-line with reports of a winter/fall journey into stores.

Alongside the Wii seems what GameStop is suggesting an appearance on Sony's PS2.

Pfffft. PS2? I sure hope not. If it's an all console release then Wii will get a PS2 version rather than a slightly lower end 360 version. Smilie

Liez, all of it!

I'm still remaining foolishly optimistic that this will be Sonic's video game redemption (at least on home consoles) and that Sega has learned something from their last few Sonic games (although I haven't played the Secret Rings game).

I couldn't have said it better.

That doesn't sound good. Especially when you consider that the Wii is capable of graphics better than the GameCube. We shouldn't have to put up with mere PS2-level crap. I'd be surprised if they actually worked on making the graphics better on the Wii than the PS2, but a port would seem more likley.

But we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully this will be a revolution for Sonic.

...sonic...i remember when you were worth a damn...

A fail so epic, it may just be a win.

It's Sony's fault for still marketing the PS2, which is still currently the worlds most profitable system in terms of dev cost and profit on game sales.
