The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
We’ve already covered the lengthy game history of Sonic The Hedgehog, but he’s also had a noteworthy career in comic books and cartoons as well. Over the span of his fifteen year career, the famous mammal has appeared in several animated series and a flurry of comic books, including the long-running Archie Comics series (currently at almost 170 issues and counting).
Also in the news: It wouldn’t be E3 without a Sonic-related announcement from Sega. This year, the company has revealed that not one, but three titles are in the works for all next gen consoles and the PSP. While one is a Wii exclusive, the other, aptly titled Sonic The Hedgehog, suggests something of a new beginning for the struggling franchise. Could this be the 3D Sonic game we’ve all been waiting for? We take a look at what’s been shown in our analysis of the latest trailer in the second of our Genesis-related E3 bonus articles Sonic’s Rebirth? Check it out and then pray like the rest of us.
You hear her voice every time you boot up Sonic CD and that animated intro shoots across your screen. Sandy Cressman is the voice behind the classic theme song, and she was kind enough to share her gaming experience with Sega-16.
After appearing in two consecutive Genesis releases, Knuckles the Echidna got a game of his own on the 32X. Many people consider Knuckles Chaotix to be unpolished lacking in certain areas, and that begs the question: is it worth playing? Read our full review and find out.
We conclude our week-long celebration in honor of Sonic’s birthday with a look at the Sonic game that never was: Sonic Crackers. Elements of the unreleased beta found their way into later games, but this was one Genesis title that was more than the sum of its parts, and could really have shone, had it been given the chance. Read our full report and see what could have been.
