Sonic Races to Nintendo 3DS in Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice

Nintendo Australia has announced that they will be bring Nintendo 3DS owners the next entry in the Sonic Boom series Fire & Ice.



Firstly, this has nothing to do with the Wii U game released last year, this is a sequel to last years Nintendo 3DS title that was actually quite good. Developed by Sanzaru Games Inc., Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is a single player game with collaborative gameplay components that shares key characters, events, and lore of the Sonic Boom universe. Players will see Sonic and his friends in familiar settings as they embark on a brand new adventure to battle Dr. Eggman as well as an all-new super villain, D-Fekt. The team’s adventures will bring them to locations both familiar and new as they explore, race and protect their world.

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.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems will be available in Australia and New Zealand this summer.
