I was surfing around on ebay and I saw an interesting item:
SNES Sonic The Hedgehog 4 RARE Import!!!

At first I thought it might possible be Sonic Crackers because of the 'Sonic 4' title it was given, then I saw it said SNES. (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) I knew something was up, and sure enough when I checked the link, I was right. The item was a fake.

The item the loser is selling is actually a hacked Speedy Gonzalas (SP??) ROM made by someone when hacking was a big deal in the Sonic community. The ROM must have been put on some SNES cart, and the picture of the cart was pasted together with scenes of Sonic 3 and other games. All though so far, I've been unsuccessful in locating the ROM or the owner, but if anyone has it or knows who made the ROM, let us or ebay know so we can stop this scam. If it's one thing I hate, it's people taking advantage of Sonic fans. So if you see this item on ebay:

DON'T BID ON IT! It's not real!

EB Games has Sonic Advance release date which is November 16th.

Hop on ridges, slide down rails and grab some rings...Sonic is back and he's as fast as ever! With a choice of 4 characters and link cable support for multiple players, this classic 2D platfomer takes full advantage of Nintendo's powerful new handheld.

Someone on the IGN boards has posted pics of the rumored hidden area accessible with 180 emblems. Words can not describe how sweet this is. ^_^ Click the link to see them.

Ok, they reviit a while ago, but Peppy just sent me this and I think I should post it. This is an EXTREMELY well-written review, definitely the best I've seen yet, and the author obviously paid attention to the details. He gives ewed SA2 a 9.4, BTW.

Supposedly, if you get all 180 emblems in SA2, a secret area opens up, loaded with cool extras. Also, according to this rumor, there IS a point to all the hidden Bigs in the game. This area sounds too good to be true, but after the other stuff that's been revealed about SA2, it wouldn't really surprise me too much if it was in there. If it is, then kudos to Sonic Team for putting something like this intro the game for the 10th anniversary. This is a mild spoiler, since you may want to be surprised by what you get when you get 180 emblems, so it's listed in a link.

Once again, this is a mild spoiler, and there are quite a few more pics than I'd want to post on the main news page anyway, so click the link to see them. We also have new details about HOW the hidden characters play and pics of some costumes available for download from Sega's SA2 page.

Not surprisingly, the SA2 Anniversary Pack is selling for a hefty price on Ebay. To be exact, up to $95.

Due to increasing schedule conflicts, the fact that I'm focusing on other content like the SA2 page, and increasing SA2 news, I've put in moderation features on the news pahge earlier than I planned to. So now you can post all the news you want, even wild rumors and just links to information on the net. Articles only show up once they've been edited. Note to staff: this includes articles you post too, so be sure to edit them.

The insane depth of SA2 keeps getting more impressive. This is sort of a spoiler, so if you want to know about them, read the full news item.

While this isn't news in the strictest sense, I thought this might be of interest to fans.
