SEGA of America has announced that Sonic the Hedgehog, will once more be coming to the Nintendo 3DS with Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, based on the animated series on Cartoon Nework and developed by Sanzaru Games. Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice will also feature the return of Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Sticks, and Sonic's rival Dr. Eggman, as well as a brand-new villain by the name of D-Fekt.
From the official description:
To create an entirely new experience, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice will infuse fire and ice elements throughout gameplay, enabling new abilities to play out in special character moves and interactions with environments. The new title also delivers gameplay that enables players to run through the game at top speed, or take their time with deeper exploration and puzzle play.
New to the title is the introduction of Bot Racing, a supplemental game tied to the single player story with multiplayer gameplay. The new Bot Racing feature is an extension of Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice that is purely about racing and speed, where a user will unlock character themed Bots to challenge friends on fast courses or tracks.
