New 'Sonic the Hedgehog' shows redesigned character

After the backlash the first trailer received for how the titular character Sonic the Hedgehog looked, Paramount has released a new trailer showing the redesigned Sonic. He definitely looks more faithful to how he looks in the games. The start of the trailer even features a rendition of a classic Sonic song called "Green Hill Zone." If you're interested in catching it in theatres, the film airs starting February 14, 2020.

Paramount delays release of ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ movie to fix main character’s design

There was backlash when the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog dropped last month. The design had been, as Engadget describes it, nightmare-inducing. Now, Paramount just announced that it is pushing back the release of the film “to make Sonic just right.” The film was originally slated for a November 2019 release, but now it’s been pushed back to February 14, 2020. Let’s hope they’ll be able to get the look right. We think Detective Pikachu might have set the bar for how cute yet realistic these animated characters could be if done right.

Sonic becomes a ‘Droid

All you Android heads craving some ‘90s nostalgia are in for a treat. The game Sonic the Hedgehog has now found its way to the Android OS. It has widescreen support, a smooth 60 frames per second frame rate, and remastered soundtrack. The updated game also has leaderboards, achievements, and an all-new Time Attack mode. Sonic fans will also be delighted to know that you can unlock Tails and Knuckles in this mobile game.

If you’re an iOS user and you feel like you’re missing out, don’t worry because an update is coming soon. Sonic the Hedgehog is priced at $2.99 and can be bought here for Android users.
