Sega seems to be quite happy with Sonic Colors, and plans to celebrate in New York City this evening, from 6pm to 10pm in Bryant Park with an ice skating party and free hedgehog hats. If you are among the first 300 people to arrive at Sonic Colors launch part at Citi Pond in Bryant Park then you will be able to keep your head warm in Sonic style with a free Sonic the Hedgehog hat. 

Furthermore, the same 300 attendees will get to skate for free, and as a bonus to make things seem extremely cheesy, will get to skate to the Sonic Colors theme song - “Reach For The Stars”, awesome!

Also, the fans will get to experience Sonic Colors two weeks ahead of schedule.

"We are extremely excited to allow fans to play Sonic Colors two weeks before launch" said Judy Gilbertson, Sonic Colors’ Senior Brand Manager. "We're delighted with the quality of Sonic Colors and the passion that both fans and press are showing for the game. This party is our way of thanking everyone for supporting us as we prepare for the release of the most exciting Sonic game in recent memory."

Most exciting Sonic game in recent memory? Harsh way of putting down Sonic 4, don’t ya think?
