Update: The image thumbnails have been fixed, plus we’ve added a screenshot that we missed earlier! Sorry for the inconvenience!

You have a feeling that E3 is really coming soon when all of these gaming companies are coming up with tons of news on what they will be showing us come E3. Well, Sega may be out of the console business, but we’ll definitely see them and their company mascot Sonic dashing around rivers, mountains, and bridges in his new game, Sonic Rivals.

Sonic Rivals will be available for the PSP, taking advantage of the power of the handheld by providing a 3D environment for our speedy hero. So, what will be Sonic’s adventure this time? Well, Sonic and Knuckles begin with what we consider as a friendly competition. Soon, the rest of Sonic’s rivals want to get into the contest as well. This is a challenge to find out who the toughest and fastest is within Sonic’s universe. You can use classic commands such as boost and power up to make yourself faster or, play a little trick or two to your enemy. The key here is to get ahead of everyone else. There will be four playable characters for Sonic Rivals. More so, the game allows you to collect trading cards which you can trade with fellow players as well. You can even play with your friend and the two of you can race each other through stages.

Sega intends to bring back the love to Sonic. And indeed, with more than 10 years since it first appeared in the gaming industry, it’s about time to remind the young ones about this speed demon we know as Sonic. Sonic Rivals will be released some time 2006. Thank you Strangler for the heads up.
