Come forse saprete, nel corso delle ultime settimane è stata rivelata la data di rilascio europea dell'ultimo capitolo della sua mascotte in arrivo sulla console portatile di Nintendo. Stiamo ovviamente parlando di Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, seguito dello sforunato flop, almeno a livello di critica,Sonic Boom su Nintendo Wii U e 3DS uscito ormai da più di un anno. Il titolo era previsto per l'uscita verso la fine del 2015, ma poi SEGA ha comunicato alla fine del 2015 che Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice slittasse poi al 2016. Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, verrà rilasciato su Nintendo 3DS il prossimo 30 settembre 2016 in europa.
