Sonic and the Black Knight Revealed

By Skylar Wilcox / Saturday, 19 July 2008

For subscribers, the September issue of Nintendo Power is already here, and that includes the user "donkey show" on NeoGAF, who made this thread showing a scan of the cover. We've trimmed and reproduced the image below; click for a bigger version.

The cover story is a new Wii-exclusive Sonic game called Sonic and the Black Knight, unfortunately unrelated to the Martin Lawrence comedy. From what we can tell by actually looking at the image, the game will include a swordplay mechanic, which could be interesting if done right. Unfortunately, these days that may be a big "if", but since the game has been announced after the MotionPlus controller add-on, it might just incorporate the accessory to beautiful effect.

Other cover stories offer information on Wario Land: Shake It and Dead Rising for Wii, so it sounds like an issue to check out next time you hit the newsstand.
