Sonic: Roger Craig Smith
Some previous roles he voiced: RE5's Chris Redfield, Assassin's Creed 2's Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Soulcalibur IV's Siegfried Schtauffen.
Tails: Kate Higgins
The only notable previous roles of hers I recognize is Sakura from the Naruto dub. Maybe there's some other notable ones in her Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Higgins).
Many other characters from Sonic games will have voice changes, but Eggman is staying the same.
I don't personally care too much about voice actors, but I've seen numerous complaints for the previous 4Kids actors that Sonic and Tails had until now
Well, let's see how this turns out, and this has been revealed for a while now.

That blog post is only a few days old, or has some other source revealed it first?
I don't care about the girl, but Chris Redfield and Ezio playing Sonic sounds entertaining.

But I didn't know. =(
And why does Sonic have to relate to some Chris guy? First it was the Chris in the anime that looked a bit...gay in one particular scene, and now he's being voiced by the guy who voiced another Chris, except this other Chris fights zombies all day.
...Sonic with guns, anyone?

NAH, NOT SONIC WITH GUNS, BUT SONIC GOING AROUND PUNCHING BOULDERS

SPEED THROUGH STAGES, PUNCH BOULDERS, AND KICK ASS
I don't get the "punching boulders" thing.
It's going to take some getting use to, but I kinda like it.
It sounds like how SatAM and Adventures should've sounded. Much better than when Griffith started, so I like this already.
How does the Chris Redfield guy do that with his voice?
First cutscene we're allowed to see. Sonic and Tails sound really good to be honest. While it's certainly different from before (and thus has a bit of "what?" to it), but I think they do a really good job. Also, Sonic does the moonwalk. INSTANT WINNER! :P
Um...I only think Tails's voice is nice, but Sonic's voice, on the other hand... I think he sounds like he's choking a bit.
Sonic sounds like Spiderman. Although I do appreciate someone attempting a new voice rather than just trying to imitate Sonic Adventure. Tails voice is very good, though.
Tail's voice kicks ass. Sonic's... not so much.
I love the new voices. Tails reminds me of someone from Pokemon though...
I don't like Tails' very much, but it might be that I just don't like Tails. Sonics sounds great, best out of any of his 3D games. I liked that really cheesy humor, I might have to get this once it's ported to 360.
I like that Tails finally sounds like a guy, but Sonic's voice is just too deep. My least favorite video game voice for Sonic yet.

Which is why I'm only going to rent it on the Wii, it'll be in HD and have more features on the 360, but it will come out later.
I hope there are no "Chris Redfield" fans who are happy to hear the punching rock dude voicing Sonic. The last thing we want is to deal with fan boys/girls that will differ GREATLY from the main opinions.

You mean like how the Rush series was ported to the PSP, the Rivals series was ported to the DS, the storybook series was ported to the 360 and PS3, and 06 was ported to the Wii?
Or is this port desire based on confirmed announcements that I am ignorant of rather than wishful thinking?

Nice to see that developers see the Wii as a way to measure whether or not it's worth their time to make the game better.

Believe, however, what Tupin says...most of the time.
Would I be a bad gamer if I said Sonic Colors remains as a Wii exclusive title?

It's a DS game as well. ;)
Well, I think they said it depends. If it sells and is received well, they'll make a 360/PS3 port. The same plan was going to happen with Sonic 2006. If it got good reviews and sold well, they were going to port it to the Wii. It had horrible reviews and sales far under what was expected, so they didn't.
The storybook series wasn't released on the PS3 or 360 because they required motion controls and sucked.

Also Ezio Fettuccine Al Firenze or whatever. In other words, he voices two of the best video game characters in existence, and now Sonic. And yeah, it's definitely coming to 360. Just like RE5 and AC2.
New voices for EVERYONE! IMO, they all sound either different-yet-same or just plain better; Rouge's voice in particular is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY better, and Tails and Cream sound more like a young boy and girl, respectively. The only one that I think is just plain worse now is Amy, who sounds like she's freaking Minnie Mouse.
Hahahah, I still think Sonic is the best he's ever been, but what's going on with Amy and Vector? Amy sounds like a guy trying his best to play a little girl, and the Vector guy sounds like a robot with Aspergers.
Jet or whatever is so bad its hilarious. If you just played that audioclip, I bet you could get people thinking it's from the old TV show with Urkel.
You can easily hear how much better the new Sonic is when you compare his "Too easy, piece of cake" with the one from Brawl.
Just for fun, I'll list the VAs and their important works (with some surprising facts from what I play the most).
Roger Craig Smith - Sonic
Voices Chris Redfield (RE:5), Deidara (Naruto), Zagi (Tales of Vesperia (he's got the MANIAC, seriously?)).

Cindy Robison - Amy
Voices Zola (Blue Dragon), Legretta the Quick (Tales of the Abyss ("Too slow!" BANG-BANG-BANG!)).
Kirk Thornton - Shadow
This guy's got WAY too many voicing roles...but he voices Saix & Isa (Kingdom Hearts), Kisame Hoshigaki (Naruto), Jade Curtiss (Tales of the Abyss (badass)).
Laura Bailey - Blaze, Omochao
Voices Raspberyl (Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice (badass)), Kid Trunks (DBZ), Belle (FFCC: The Crystal Bearers), Lust (Full Metal Alchemist), Hewpoe (Klonoa), Anko Mitarashi (Naruto), Female Protagonist (Persona 3: Portable), Rise Kujikawa (Persona 4), Marta Lualdi (ToS: Dawn of the New World).
Michelle Ruff - Cream

Karen Strassman - Rouge
Voices Aigis (Persona 3), Nanako Dojima, [spoiler]Izanami[/spoiler], (Persona 4), Elena Salazar, Kanae Tsuji (Trauma Center: New Blood).
Wally Wingert - Silver

Apparently, his voice actor voices Tobi (Naturo).
I don't like Shadow's new voice...
Other than that none really bothers me.
That list is completely invalid Chris. There is no way that Naruto and Tales of anything is worth mentioning over Assassin's Creed II. Probably a lot of those people have actual roles that are much more significant than all that anime crap, but it's nice to know that Knuckles is a family man.

Irony plays backwards for me.
I lol'd at Cornwad's post. Opposite for me. I could care less about AC2.
AND I noticed some mistakes in that list too ;)
