Sonic busts ghosts in upcoming 'Night of the Werehog' short

If you're a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog's non-video game outings, you'd be wise to check out the trailer for an upcoming animated short featuring Sega's spiny mascot, titled Night of the Werehog. The movie, which will be available online sometime before the launch of Sonic Unleashed, features the speedster (in his new, lupine form) battling all manner of unmannerly ghosts. Though the trailer (which we've courteously posted after the break), doesn't do much to tell how the short relates to the story of Unleashed, the CGI is extremely well done -- though we're somewhat disappointed by the movie's apparent lack of Jaleelitude.

Do you have to rub it in?

WTF Sega?

*sob* It really hurts to see your childhood hero dying and can't do anything about it. : (

I'm still lookin' forward to unleashed and I played and beat Sonic PS360... unless this game is a total conversion of Duke Nukem 3D done by a 14 year old in his basement, there is no way this game can be that bad. It's only up from here, not to mention this little CG short doesn't look half bad in regards to CG...story on the other hand, meh- can't be as bad as an episode of Sonic X.

i loved that movie sonic rules mario druels

Can't we all just get along and watch SMBZ?

I patiently await the day Sonic gets bought by another company, meaning any company that is not Sega. I love Sonic, but ye GODS why do they make me suffer for that?
