A news article can be found here:
I shall also quote you a press release on this from aforementioned article if you are lazy like me.
As for my opinion, it is far too early to call whether or not it will be a good game or not. I am pleased to see Tails in that trailer though, perhaps we get to have our two tailed fox back to the way he was? And those Wisps seem to match with the colors of the Chaos Emeralds. Perhaps they are vital to the story in that way? *spoilers* :o!

Sonic Colors
A new Sonic Game has been announced for the Wii and DS, called:
A news article can be found here:
I shall also quote you a press release on this from aforementioned article if you are lazy like me.
"We're excited to announce a brand-new game for Sonic the Hedgehog! Sonic Colors is a high speed action-adventure in which Sonic races through theme park-inspired worlds to rescue a colorful alien race from the clutches of Dr. Eggman. An extraordinary amusement park has been seen orbiting around the home planet of Sonic the Hedgehog, and rumors are spreading that an alien race of Wisps, who have a unique colorful energy, are being held captive there by the evil Dr. Eggman. Soon after arriving at the amusement park, Sonic discovers he is able to use these mysterious alien forces to help the Wisps escape!
Sonic Colors will be available on the Wii and the Nintendo DS around holiday 2010. Sonic Colors for the Wii seamlessly combines both 3D and classic 2D game play perspectives, while the Nintendo DS version takes full advantage of the console's dual screen.
Sonic Colors sees Sonic accelerating to adrenaline-pumping super speeds and blasting through obstacles in ways never before seen in a Sonic game. The alien Wisps featured in the game each have a unique "Color Power" that, once freed, Sonic is able to absorb while speeding through the various theme park inspired planets. The Wisp energy enables Sonic to create new paths through the stages by drilling through the ground (Yellow Drill) for example, or speeding through the stage as a laser (Cyan Laser). Stringing the Wisp power-ups together creates a combo that increases Sonic's boost gauge even more quickly. Exclusive Wisp power-ups will be available for both Wii and the Nintendo DS versions, ensuring a unique and super speedy gameplay experience for Sonic fans everywhere."

All Stars Racing Console/PC Charts Now Live
The topic title says it all: after a long wait and plenty of nagging the admins, game charts are now up for the Console and PC versions -- the DS and mobile versions do not have charts yet. DsS thanks you all for giving him another championship and more sitewide points.
Please take note of the following unusual rule that was added for the game:
Do not simply submit times shown when pressing the Info button at the course select, since some times that aren't achieved by the player appear for an as of yet unexplained reason.
If you're not sure if you actually achieved a time in the Races category, don't submit it.
Update: Metal Sonic & Death Egg Zone -- Egg Hangar are now downloadable from Xbox Live Marketplace for 560 Microsoft Points,but not on the Playstation Network; it will be coming soon, though, as evidenced by the leak a week before today. Charts for DLC will not be available until we know that it will consist of more than one or two courses, and it will be ranked separately from the standard game to be more fair to Wii and PC version players.
Update 2: The Playstation 3 version has been released.

Offline Events:
Record a .giz (read this topic if you need help on recording a .giz) and send it via PM to Strong Bad, Omega Knuckles, or Nicholas Onimura here on the TSC forums with a link to a .giz included (YouSendIt, Fileden, MegaUpload, etc.). The deadline is this Saturday at 11:59 PM, CST.
All TSC Submission Rules apply.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (& Knuckles):
Event 1:
Times Challenge
Using Sonic 2 & Knuckles, finish Emerald Hill Zone Act 1 as quickly as you can without using the directional buttons. In the event of a tie, Score and then Rings will be used to determine placing.
Event 2:
Ring Challenge
In Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (not & Knuckles), collect as many rings as you can in Metropolis Zone Act 2 and then finish the act. In the event of a tie, Score and then Time will be used to determine placing.
Event 3:
Score Challenge
Get the highest score you can in Sonic 2 & Knuckles' Emerald Hill Zone Act 1. Ties will be broken by time.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles:
Event 1:
Time Challenge
Complete Mushroom Hill Zone Act 2 using Knuckles as quickly as you can. In the event of a tie, Score and then Rings will be used to determine placing.

Thorn EDIT: For you non-TSC natives... welcome! Or something. In any case, when you're done with your tournament runs, click the word "Submissions" to your left and add it to our charts for posterity and to compare your stats to those of others (do it after the deadline, though, or we'll know how good to do to beat you). While you're at it, stay around and submit for other games too. It's pretty clear that the cross-site business was meant to rile up some activity in both forums, so why not play along?
