Sonic Unleashed Wii Trailer for Shamar

24 October, 2008 21 March, 2025

Sega have released yet another trailer for Sonic Unleashed and this time it’s the Wii version getting some love with a video showing off the recently revealed Shamar level. Stylistically it looks the same as it’s ‘Next Gen’ older siblings but with much more emphasis on style, speed and boosting. Indeed as with all the Wii levels shown so far there is a great deal of speed an action but the levels tend to seem a little more sparse.

The Werehog also makes an appearance in the trailer beating up the purple blob creatures that seem to be popping up all over the place thanks to the world being torn into seven pieces. the same old stretchy hand combos are seen but nothing to really excite. Indeed the focus seems to be on Sonic himself and it’s probably best if it stays that way.

TSSZ News reader Johnnyg sent in the news tip finding the trailer on YouTube. It’s of pretty poor quality but should a better version surface it will be added to this news story.

No worries Paul, I added it.

That was amazing! I can’t wait til this game comes out!
Does anyone think that the werehog kinda resembles Chaos in a way?

Did anybody else see the goal ring…? I kinda miss the capsules from SA1 to tell the truth. No idea why but the goal ring excites me more than the rest of the trailer. Probably either because a) a goal ring means new cutscene, new boss, new level, S-rank, b) OMG you made it! After 67 failures, you finally did it! or c) it brings home the reality that this is a GAME that we’re going to be PLAYING! Not just pretty running on a trailer!
I can assure you that I’d be more happy about the rest of the trailer if the pixels weren’t the size of legos. Not that I’m ungrateful, of course, this is a great find!

Its good to see more of the Wii version, I have to say theres more action in the Wii version, but the graphics are a bit…meh I like Spagonia and Apotos more ^^ GOD 0:22 is smexy xD

Man, why are the ring sounds wrong again? For most of the video It sounds like Sonic is losing rings instead of getting them. It’s only when he gets the big rings with numbers in them that they sound right. It was the same deal with the Abadat trailer as well.

The ring sounds are different but I dont care like some of you that are Sonic addicts and say it’s “wrong.” If that was the original ring gaining sound you wouldn’t have minded.

@Kaylun: That’s right. But it WASN’T the original. so with that said…
COME ON SEGA! lol

@E You’re right, If they brought back the capsules along with the whole 2D concept, that would’ve been genius. But Eggman changing human birds into Badniks isn’t at all relevant to the EARTH BEING BROKEN INTO 7 PIECES.

@Kaylun: Hey! I’m no addict! It just sounds really off to me.

I’ve said in another comment but after 17 years that sound just reminds me of pain and failure. It’s very jarring to hear it now while collecting rings. Hopefully it’s just in the trailer and the ‘correct’ sound will be in the actual game.
Thanks for updating the story Andrew. For some reason the code I use to try and embed videos from YouiTube just vanishes when I try to save a news story.
For that reason I’m not going to mess with it but ‘edzepp’ sent a link to a better quality version of the video on Game Trailers. Check it out here! Thanks dude!

Yo Paul, just FYI, it’s the trailer. You can tell because a lot of the effects are out of sync. I wouldn’t worry too much over that.
Also @ Kaylun: ..dude. What. .Sonic’s been around for 17 some-odd years, the ring sound effect has remained CONSTANT. Even in the shitty games. To see them using a different sound is GOING to be a little, well… unnerving. 😛
But like I said, it’s more than likely just the trailer.

I love it. All I can say I love it. Cant wait for game. Bad is Im from EUROPE so it is released on 28thNovember. Graphic looks great that this is on Wii. Maybe best Wii looking game. Dimps made Sonic very good and Weresonic looks too.

AAGHHHH (Bangs head on wall) THE RINGS ARE MAKING THAT STUPID SOUND NOW
SEGA BETTER CHANGE THAT BACK TO CLASSIC SONIC OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. You need to chill out. It’s just the trailer. I’m tellin’ ya.

Yeah, it’s bad sound recording. The sounds are overlapping together. I’ve had the rings sound like that on a fangame or two I’ve worked on.

From the looks of things it looks like the wii version is going to be more entertaining than the 360\PS3 version.
Looks like there’s more platforming.
