With apologies to ABC, if your name is Sega Dreamcast, you already are! Sega has officially sold one million consoles in the US, and we’re not even to Thanksgiving as of yet! Sega has announced this on their web site, and several experts in the field are rather shocked that this came early. Normally, figures […]
I have spoken through the customer service at resaurus.com about the SA toys and he had this to say: “Production has been pushed back until mid to late December, but we will be taking orders in about mid December.” There is no exact date to when they will be released in America, just December Sometime. […]

Is it really possible? well…actually no. This is a hacked Gameboy ROM called Sonic Adventure. The hack is of “smurfs 3” Unfortunately, If you’ve played The Speedy Gonzales Hack “Sonic 6” you’ve played this. It isn’t terribly good, But it was worth a mention. It was donated to Andre by The Chaos Emerald Also worth […]

There has been a lot of talk recently on one specific piece of intel. The sequel to Sonic Adventure. Sega of Japan all but confirmed the game recently, and now the gaming grapevine indicates that we may be seeing it sooner than we thought. It seems that Sonic Team has already begun development on Sonic […]

An interesting tidbit that I thought I’d mention here, Cartoon Network’s block of Toonami – The Midnight Run did a review of Dreamcast games, and among those reviewed were Sonic Adventure! If I’m correct, SA recieved a 4 out of 5 whereas the DC itself recieved a 5 out of 5. The only game given […]
The latest list of chart toppers have arrived for Dreamcast. In the USA, Visual Concepts NFL 2K leads the Dreamcast pack.

Ken Penders has put up some lovely covers of the Sonic Adventure adaption for the Archie Comic book. Only 2 (Sonic 80 & 81) work at the moment, the rest will be up soon. since he Knuckles/Sonic books colliding, i **think** the 80 cover is much different than before. Go see them here Also Ken […]
In addition to Rlan’s post below, I’d like to add a few things: The original version of Sonic #80’s cover was Sonic vs. Chaos 0. Instead, this looks to be a redone version of what would’ve been Knuckles #33. Knuckles, Robotnik, and Big (with Froggy) look as if they have been re-drawn from the original […]
Forget anything you read below- we now have what appears to be the official word about Sega’s continuing of hardware production straight from Sega of Japan. And, well…it doesn’t look good. To find out what I mean by that statement, as well as public reaction and how this all started, as well as many questions […]
I know this is a rather late article but this was interesting when I came across it. It seems Daily Radar has written a review of the Sonic Anime. But it was neither happy nor shining as the last Anime review we posted was. Click the link below to catch Daily Radar’s review of the […]
Once unvieled to the masses – Sonic Team’s Chu Chu Rocket, one of the “Enjoy 4” titles, left the populace dazed and confused as no one knew just what the heck it was. And to top that – we got that really weird Japanese commercial with bloody mice, an odd 2D cat, pencil drawings, and […]
Sega Sets The Record Straight! A competitor’s site posted a story about Dreamcast being Sega’s last console, but they were in error. Read the official response! Earlier today, Videogames.com posted a story about a Sega executive, Isao Okawa, saying that Dreamcast was Sega’s last console, and that the future of the company was in software […]
Yes, the Anime has come to Australia & New Zealand. I am not quite sure of the date of it coming out, as the video says Oct 25th, but the site says Oct 11th. Anyway, It was brought here by Madman Entertainment, the same people who brought Neon Genisis: Evangelion to our shores.. But at […]
GameSpot reported earlier this week that Isao Okawa, chairman of Sega Enterprises Ltd., commented on the Dreamcast's future, and said, when translated from Japanese to English, that the Dreamcast would be the last major piece of hardware from Sega, and that the company would focus on software and the Internet. Several web site reports falsified this, except Daily Radar, who has written up an 'interview'. Here is an excerpt from it:
Daily Radar: You've got ambitious sales goals: two million units by March, six million by end of year 2000. Can you meet them? What happens if you don't?Isao Okawa: Well, I can't really comment on that, but I will say that the future doesn't necessarily lie in the hardware business. I think in the future there is the possibility of Sega becoming a software-only company. I think, if you look to the future, after e-commerce, the next trend after that will be e-services. I want Sega to be there, and I think games may be one of the major reasons for that trend to take off, so we will still be making a lot of efforts in games and entertainment! But that role may be redefined in time.
DR: So, if Dreamcast doesn't sell, you will make a shift to being a software-only company?
IO: Well, even if Dreamcast does sell, we will make that shift! Online and networked entertainment is the future, and that is how we will compete in the future. It really doesn't matter how fast we sell hardware in regard to the speed with which we transition ourselves into the new networked century. And the Dreamcast machine has a huge competitive edge right now for this.
Sega of America has denied this, and several fans are very confused as to the credibility of this story. Sonic HQ News will keep you posted on this, including a Special RA Edition this Saturday, with the public's thoughts on this situation.
SNK announced that Sonic Pocket Adventure for NGPC will have two new versus modes, which enable two players to battle over the link cable. The two VS modes are Get the Ring and Sonic Rush, in Get the Ring you try to collect as many rings in a given time, and Sonic Rush is a […]
