German voice-over studio iksample has listed work on a “Sonic Colors Remastered” in its portfolio. It was posted on December 20, 2020.

Sonic Colors launched for Wii and DS in November 2010. The DS version is a separate game from the Wii version designed to take advantage of the system’s dual-screen.



Update 8:35 p.m.: French retailer Sogamely has listed “Sonic Colors Ultimate” for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch with a 2021 release window and €34.99 price point. It is unclear if the listing is a result of the iksample discovery, or if it was there beforehand.

Imagine remaking Sonic Colors and not Sonic Adventure 1/2 and being happy for it.

I mean, if you gotta remake SOMETHING, at least pick a game that would benefit from some gameplay fix and a better graphic.

Plus, I would rather see Eggman threatning the President with genocide in 4K HD, than earing "Baldy McNosehair" in 3D audio.

Also, no, I refuse to believe a remaster of this is the only Sonic project they're doing

I doubt it's a remake and unlike Sonic Adv, Sonic Colors isn't available on other platforms. So it makes sense to remaster this and make it available to most consoles, since its a rather good game

No thanks.

Levels were really, really, really shorts. 2D sections physics were floating. But story was fun, music were really good and it was a good enough 3D Sonic game with some really beautiful levels. The question is: do you want that in 2021? I don't.

It's not a bad game but nothing like the fun and huge levels from the very 1st part of Sonic and the lost level.

Just a remember, Sonic Forces came in late 2017! It's 2021.

Edit: a pack with the 3d Wii in 4k and the NDS game redone could very cool.

Sonic colours will probably be a remaster (aka res and FPS bump). Sonic adventure would need to be a full remake which would need a lot more work.

That said... I'd love a sonic adventure 1/2 remake.

Sonic Colors is a great pick for a simple HD remaster. It would complement perfectly well Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Generations and Sonic Forces on Xbox. If they could do the same with Lost World as well, it would be awesome. Lost World was already 60fps on Wii U, so there is not much to gain here, but by putting on Xbox, we would finally have all games on Microsoft consoles, and that will help keeping them playable in the best conditions possible for the future. I was replaying Unleashed on Series X last week...

Colors was sub HD and 30fps, so this is a good opportunity to get a proper version of the game (and play it with a good controller). I am not a fan of remasters, but I will take this one.

Bought Sonic Mania day one, haven't even downloaded the game since then. Nostalgia isn't my cup of tea, sadly, as watching few videos on youtube is enough.

What I don't get is why specifically Colors before Unleashed, since that's the "original" rush gameplay game, and in dire need of re-evaluation.
It's also the Sonic with the highest production values since Sonic Adventure 2, and with the best level design, at least for the day stages.

I kinda feel this is just Takashi Iizuka being Takashi Iizuka, since Colors was "his" game and probably the easiest to port. Only easy roads for Sonic.

That's so disappointing really.

Great if true. Colors needs some bosses tweaks, but ignoring the cheesy script the game is a lot of fun to play. Would be wonderfull play this gen with a better resolution and 60 fps.

Of course people would be happy lmao
Colors and even Generations has its flaws, but are by far the funniest and enjoyable Sonic games to play. They are pretty and probably gonna look great in HD plus better controls and performance.

Now thinking remaster of those crappie, buggy and full of glitches games, that would be a total waste of resources on something devs has no intention to be fixed.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. This isn't a remake. This is a cleanup job with AA, standardized controls, and 4k resolution for an easy sale(a.k.a. a remaster) because to this day the game is stuck on the Wii and because Sonic Colors had a decent fanbase and good word of mouth. So this isn't taking away from any precious Adventure 1 and 2 remake at all, if that even exists in the first place. It's barely even a project.

What you're doing is the equivalent of getting mad at Sega for not making a Judgement 2 because they decided to remaster Yakuza 3, 4, and 5, into a collection for PS4/XBO. It doesn't make sense.

Maybe the press reception... (i'm not saying this is the right thing to do but Sega seems to have metacritics in mind lately)

Imagine still beginning a sentence with "imagine" in 2021. What is this? The YouTube comment section?

The only GOOD 3D sonic game is Colors. So, yes, I'll take some Colors remake alongside my SonicMania any day.

I'd rather have a new good 3D Sonic game than an old good 3D Sonic game though.

I keep hearing Colors is one of the few good 3d Sonic games, so I may keep my eye on this. I bet it'll look pretty slick in 4k with HDR.

Basically from press who didn't want to admit they were wrong about Unleashed, and from people who only played Colors.
It's good but the inferior of the Unleashed/Colors/Generations trio.

I don't feel that doing Unleashed, then Colors, then Generation, then Lost World, then Forces looks like taking the easy road. All games are very different and have a ton of content.

Unleashed is a great game indeed. Maybe that Microsoft can do something for it, at some point, even though 360 games don't have the FPS Boost treatment yet.

The road was taken with Unleadshed, which was a proper project with a proper budget. Colors was "Unleashed but smaller", because it was on a weaker console too, and Generations was still kinda more of the same mechanically, even if it was genuinely inspired from a level design point of view.

Point being, Colors is the chapter less deserving a remaster between the 3 (Forces is still very recent), and Sega choosing that specifically doens't inspire confidence in their own confidence.

To be honest, the recent 3D Sonic games by Sonic Team are mix bag, so no a good idea. Remaster a old good game sounds better safety.

Having Colors on modern hardware is nice and a safe sell, but I still want a new good 3D Sonic game.

There are lot of reasons that would support Colors being the first choice. Colors wasn't avaiable in all machines at the time(Nintendo exclusive), very different from Unleashed and Generations. Colors doesn't have an entirelly different type of gameplay compared to Unleashed(Werehog was the downside of Unleashed), it only has new power-ups so you still play as modern Sonic. The last one I would add is that Colors is less focused on rail type of sections. It has more transitions between stages, different from Unleashed that spends basically with the boosting rails in majority of modern Sonic sections. Also, both Colors and Generations lacks level up mechanics.

Considering Colors was limited to the Wii it make sense it'd get chosen for a remaster as it was both well received and looks good with a basic res boost over Dolphin. It'd be nice to see All Star's Racing 1 and Transformed ported too, make them 60fps (or 120fps) and get them out there on PS5/XBS as they were good games too, just let down by 30fps.

Unleashed had more of a mixed reception than Colors due to the Werehog stages.. it would get very bad reviews unless it gets reworked considerably and that takes money.maybe if Sonic was a super ip that makes millions and had the trust of the gamming community they could take on more riskier projects, but their last release was.. Sonic FORCES 3 years ago

Makes sense why they are remastering COLORS, though who knows maybe Unleashed and Generations are also getting a port

The Wii seems to be kind of getting forgotten, maybe due to the massives piles of shovelware and stuff. There are lots of great unexpected games like Colors on it (the DS version is not nearly as good imo). Hope it does come to more platforms.

I swear Sega's projects regarding Sonic games are scientifically engineered to piss me off.

Why Sonic Colors. It's the poor man's Sonic Unleashed, at least remake THAT and make it 60fps.

Every time, every single time I swear.

You must have really liked that Werehog action.

I think it's serviceable and with gorgeous music.
I still firmly believe that, if it was Knuckles instead of the Werehog (and without the extendable arms of course), the reception would have been wildly different.
I also firmly recall gameplay videos from the press having troubles to use a green key on a green platform on the first werehog level. So yeah, regarding the game's perception at the time, I call bullshit on every level.

I guess people spended so much time playing this game on the emulator that forgot Sonic Colors launch in one single console.

The Werehog is honestly the most overhated gameplay style in all of Sonic's history. Theres literally nothing wrong with it, its just not Sonic-y so people despised it at a time where it was pretty much cool to hate on Sonic. I personally found the werehog fun, I enjoyed it enough to where I like it as a pace shakeup to the excellent day stages. It gives the game much more variety. I'd rather play every Werehog stage than any emerald hunting stage, those were just awful in every sense of the word.

Agree here. Looking for medals in these stages made it more fun too imo.

On Colours, always disliked this game. Its a 2d game, not a 3d game. The platforming and movement is really dull and the wisps take away from sonic's control instead of adding it. Not to mention the story and writing (although not as lame in the japanese translation).
