Badniks Section Open on Sonic 4 Website, But Little New

Delayed Response on Sega Opening Section
What was to be officially revealed at 11AM ET this morning has just been posted a few minutes ago, according to TSSZ News reader Superfield, who sent in a news tip to us.
We’re taking about the Badniks section of the Sonic 4 website. You can go visit it now, but you may be disappointed to find an enemy you already know–and has already been revealed through leaks–Motobug.
Out of a roster of 9, Sega did disclose some new information on what to expect from one of the original badniks, which will be returning with a small chip on its shoulder:
The very first Badnik that Sonic ever encountered, this metal beetle returns to try and take down Sonic one last time! Watch out–as he will turn around to chase Sonic if he misses!
If nothing else, this may assure that the classic representation in Sonic 4 will even trickle down to the Badniks. But only a roster of nine enemies? Hm.
We’ll continue to keep you up to date.

Could someone post the names of the nine badniks. Im not at home right now and I cant see the official site on my phone.
Sonic 1 only had about 14 badniks, some of which were repeated through different zones (buzzbomber, caterkiller…) so how many badniks do you really need? Look at the 3D games, even. Think of how many badniks Sonic Adventure really had. SA2 and Sonic ’06 essentially had the same 3 variations of GUN robot with different weapons. Especially for classic purposes, 9 badniks is fine.
I really don’t know why we’re consistently assuming the game will reveal EVERYTHING. 9 badnik slots on the web does not equate to 9 badniks in the game.
@Shellcracker
Sure.
Motobug.
That’s all.
I doubt there’s only nine. They probably aren’t going to announce all of them on the website.
Well that was anticlimatical. Thanks SEGA.
Lol love the in-game model.
@Serpx
I bet if this was any other comapny doing this you wouldnt care, I swear people just like to bitch beacuse its sega.
So what’s wrong with this website? I’ve refreshed the page several times, and opened it in new tabs, and whatever else, and I still don’t see a Badnik section. The padlock disappears and leave’s nothing in its place.
@Sonic Warrior TJ: Yeah, that is happening to me too. Can someone help us with this?
@Sonic Warrior
i’m having the same problem. Even clearing all temporary internet data didn’t work…
I’m going to gwt Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection (a.k.a. Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection) just to have the all main 2d Sonic games on my Xbox360º (see I got all of them on my SEGA SATURN and Ps2)…
But I want to have it on my Xbox360º
SONIC 4 ruleeeeeeeeeeeees
@SonicUnleashed (SU): lol i got that game on PS3 and the same day Project Needlemouse was announced
Oh oh… I hope that doesn´t mean just 4 zones and 9 badniks. That wouldn´t be like Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles. That would be like half a Sonic game
@Cry: Dude, all that excitement for a motobug? Are you serious?
Think back to the Sonic Unleashed website. If I remember correctly, only a few of the enemies were featured on the site. Maybe there are more than 9 badniks?
@serpx
What the hell?
all I said it looked cool, how exactly is that excitement?
Way to blow shit out of porportion
Mega Man 10′s site plays three songs from th game…oh noos, the game will only have three songs!
…
I’m not trying to be a jerk, it just seems that the amount of content a site shows is not indicative of the game’s content. Sonic Unleashed’s site doesn’t even mention SU having multiple levels per contininent, or even the existance of Eggmanland.Sonic Chronicles’ site mentioned, what, four characters and three or four areas in the game?
The penguinator better be in that roster.
@Cry. Um, did you forget the comment you made for me?
@serpx
Oh, I forgot, my bad.
there should be (From sonic 1)
1. Crabmeat
2. Motobug
3. Buzzbomber
4. Bat
5. Catakiller
6. The thing that blows itself up
7. The ball guy with spikes that it slowly throws at you
8. a Fish
9. The pig on the last zone
Yes! Those should be the badnicks! ^_^ boy im good!
I want I want I want I want
Y’know what, fuck this shit. The complainers are right, SEGA hasn’t a fucking clue anymore.
Sonic 4 is gonna be shit. No doubt.
Well Gosh!
Way upon the Negative side…
