BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/-- SEGA®'s returned to speed with Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is now available for purchase in North America exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems for $39.99 in the United States and CDN$49.99 in Canada. Based off of the cast of characters from the hit animated TV series Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice follows Sonic and his friends as they investigate some mysterious and dangerous fissures that are erupting around their home island. The evil Dr. Eggman is back at it again! Supercharging his latest bot-creations who discovered a new element called Ragnium, he returns to defeat his eternal rival Sonic once and for all along with his latest recruit, D-Fekt. Players will be tasked with mastering the elements of fire and ice, run through lush environments and stopping Dr. Eggman's latest plan to defeat Sonic for once and for all!
Developed by Sanzaru and published by SEGA, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice takes Sonic back to his roots, giving players the classic platform gaming experience and feeling of speed. Additionally, it features a seamless character swap between Sonic and friends -- Tails, Amy, Knuckles and Sticks.

Exclusive to North America is the launch edition of the game, which includes three episodes of the animated series on DVD for the first time.
