The most recent new episodes of Sonic Boom aired in 2017, and the last major video game releases in this series were made available on the Wii U and 3DS. <em><br \/><\/em><\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Did you play or watch Sonic Boom back in the day?
