About a year ago, an organization calling themselves The Hidden Palace, “dedicated to the preservation of retro video game development history, prototypes, artwork, source code, etc,” released several prototypes of 16-bit Sonic The Hedgehog games that were thought to be lost. Multiple versions of Sonic 2 and 3 were shown off on Twitch before being […]
Comic book publisher IDW will be holding several events this year at New York Comic-Con, which begins today and lasts through October 11. As with San Diego Comic-Con before it, this is a virtual event where all the panels are streamed online. Look for the following panels to appear at the con this week… THE […]
Can you believe IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog comic has now been running for two years?? …Maybe it’s not as impressive compared with Archie’s 23-year record. But it’s still proof the ‘hog has staying power in the comics marketplace, even after sabotage from a former head writer caused Archie to lose the license and forced the […]
Sonic the Hedgehog has been a mainstay of comic books almost as long as he’s been in video games. His first American comic came out in early 1993, and he hasn’t slowed down since then. Many writers have cooked up monthly adventures for the Blur Blur over the decades, and a new one is about […]
On Friday, Sega announced that the official mobile game of the Olympics, Sonic at the Olympic Games – Tokyo 2020 is heading to Android & iOS. Now, the game will officially be launching on mobile devices on May 7, 2020. However, fans of the franchise can pre-register now to obtain rewards; like most mobile games, […]
Sega has announced two more classic titles from its library will be added to the SEGA AGES collection on Nintendo Switch: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Puyo Puyo 2. Sonic 2 appeared most recently on the Genesis Mini, but the Switch version will contain a few additions that weren’t part of that version. For one, […]
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD arrives in just two weeks, and Sega confirmed a little surprise today to spike pre-release interest: Sonic the Hedgehog is an unlockable character in the game. This wasn’t the case in the original Banana Blitz, which came out on the Nintendo Wii and used motion controls. This one thankfully […]
When Apple Arcade launched on September 19, Sega was there with two surprise releases: one we’re about to discuss in the next post, and one starring Sonic. The nameless game was an original, but the Sonic game — Sonic Racing — very much resembles Team Sonic Racing which released for consoles last May. You can […]
Ian Jones-Quartey won’t tell anyone if the current season of OK KO is its last or not, but even if the end is approaching, the man sure knows how to pull an attention-grabbing, crowd-pleasing stunt. Last year’s Crossover Nexus reunited every single character in Cartoon Network history into one 11-minute short, and this time the […]
The path to theaters for Sonic the Hedgehog has felt more like a pinball world than a smooth Green Hill Zone. The first trailer for the film was released late last month, and between Jim Carrey’s classically wacky schtick and the use of “Gangsta’s Paradise” it stepped right out of 1995. All that was missing […]
Remember that strange, gawky-looking Sonic the Hedgehog that appeared in a trailer for his own feature film two days ago? Uhh, just forget about that! They were just kidding, ha ha! The REAL design will be unveiled LATER, yeah, that’s it! Come back later! Ha ha! In the face of massive blowback following the official […]
We’ve been hearing the rumors for months. Sega and Paramount were working together on a Sonic movie. It wouldn’t be animated, it would be live-action with a “realistic” CG Sonic. Said CG Sonic would be designed completely differently from how he looks in the games. Jim Carrey would play Robotnik/Eggman, in his trademark manner. “Gangsta’s […]
