An entry on Whols.net reveals that Sega Japan has registered the web domain of sonicandtheblackknight.com. Thus, this new Wii game has basically been proven true, and the September NP scan is not a hoax.

Evidence shows that Sonic and the Black Knight has been under production by Sega since at least the beginning of July. It obviously wouldn’t be long enough if it’s only been in production for that long to show it at E3 2008. Considering that Sega still hasn’t confirmed the existence of the game, but it is very obviously real now.
