The One to Watch Through 2011
It’s already crossed to 2011 in Japan, where Sega has opened a tease site touting Sonic’s 20th anniversary.
Right now, there’s little to speak of there, aside from the logo you see above, and a box art montage of the games released over the past two decades. Even website miners have found little clues thus far as to what’s in store. But the website Andriasang reports Sega’s Japanese division sent out a press release promising several “projects” on the way to commemorate the anniversary. What those are exactly wasn’t disclosed in the release.
Sega’s Alan Pritchard claimed some announcements are coming in the first quarter, so it shouldn’t be too long before we know what’s up. The JP website will be a first line of reference for many fans, as we hope this site is for you, too. 2011 looks to be a good one.

If only BlackBusterCritic could do a short Sonic Brainfart on Vulpine……
I hope Sonic 4: Episode 2 isn’t garbage, and that the 3rd Mario and Sonic is a crossover PLATFORMER.
@Lettman8520
I second that
@Skai Cyan: Aw, I liked Sonic CD. D:
Though, I do think it’s a bit on the overated side, so I’m not saying too much. xD It’s your opinion after all.
@Vulpine
I was going to tell ChaoticFox to not be so harsh when it comes to you, and I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt about people “bullying” you because people like bullying other fans within the Sonic fan community. But now I can see that you actually deserve all those harsh comments. Not only do you stray off-topic when replying to other people’s comments on this site, but you always think you’re right and everyone else is wrong. You’re not perfect, so quit acting like you are. Take your superiority complex someplace else. We have enough people in this utterly broken fanbase that claim that they are the “true Sonic fans” or that they’re the “best Sonic fans”. We don’t need anymore of that.
@Vulpine
I think you have been told enough times in your life, but seriously, whether you like Sonic 06 or not is completely your opinion, and if you enjoy it, then good for you. The fact is, that most people really dislike the game, for many factors. I’m sorry, but if that’s a problem for you, you really do need to grow up a bit, and that has nothing to do with how old you are or how long you’ve been playing video games.
Companies rely on the fanbases to point them in the right direction and let them know where they fault in their products. Unfortunately for SEGA, Sonic 06 was panned by most fans and critics, and SEGA even admitted that it was rushed and extremely flawed. They have even ceased production of the game if I’m not mistaken, due to it being a pretty awful game in the eyes of most of the fans.
I know you want to ‘bring peace’ and all that, but seriously. It’s a fanbase, not a country. There are always going to be people who agree and disagree on certain aspects of the series, and if you can’t accept that, then that’s just too bad.
I’m as much to blame as anyone else, but I think the dead horse has been thoroughly beaten by now.
”I What To See A Sonic and Ristar Game SO BADLY”!!!!! For Sonic’s 20th Anniversary.
@Amuro
But I still won’t let everyone gang up and bully me because of my opinions. I’ll try to make more sense and stay on-topic next time, but I do not like it when people bully me like that. I’m a better person and a more respectful fan then ChaoticFox is anyway. At least I don’t say cuss words. Instead, I’m clean-mouthed. ChaoticFox does not deserve to be more respected then me because he’s a snotbutt and I wish he would leave TSSZ News because of what I say, rather then tailgating my posts all the time just because I said something. Tell him not to be so harsh rather then being on his side to beat the heck out of me and telling me that I deserve harsh comments. I really don’t like being treated like that, and I would appreciate if you folks would stop the madness right now, then I will calm down.
@ChibiChloe
I may accept the fact, but that does not mean I will have to agree with those who cannot stand my opinions.
@Vulpine WE CAN STAND YOUR OPINION. What we can’t stand is how you don’t allow us to share OUR opinions or call us moody bad fans. We also hate how you act like your perfect! No ones perfect. We are as much of Sonic fans as you are. Maybe there’s a reason why everyone is disagreeing with you Vulpine…..You still have growing to do.
@Vulpine Also no one bullying you. We are not threatening you or telling you to “leave TSSZ news”. We are trying to help you.
@Vulpine: Are you seriously crying over someone “cussing?” And you want some of US to grow up.
@lettman8520
I know you are trying to help, but I still don’t like being talked down to and ganged up on. I’ll try to learn better next time, but don’t tell me to grow up (I’m a grown up) just because of what I say.
@Vulpine
I’m glad to know that you admitted that you tend to stray off-topic and are going to try to do better remaining on point in the future. That shows that you at least try to learn from mistakes.
However, you still act as if you are right and anyone who disagrees with you is automatically wrong, and call people “moody Sonic fans”. Who says we DON’T have fun playing Sonic games?
Just work on that superiority issue and get used to the fact that Sonic fans have their own personal opinions, and you and I will get along just fine.
And I apologize if it seemed that I was taking sides. I just hate how broken and divided this fanbase is, but why am I worrying about that? It’s been that way since Sonic Adventure came out.
@Vulpine
Did I say that? No, I don’t think I did. So stop twisting my words please. It’s you who comes here and actually starts these kind of arguments.
@Amuro
I do accept the fact that people have different opinions and not everyone agrees, mind you. But I don’t like it when people think their opinions are closer to fact then mine. Honestly, I have learned many times and there is nothing to worry about it.
Yeah, the fanbase is so broken it’s not even funny. All I am trying to do is to change the Sonic community for the better.
@Vulpine Maybe they’re closer to fact…..because they are. Think about it. Especially in the case of 06. When people mention glitches and programming errors THAT’S FACT, everything else beside that is opinion. There’s no denying things like that. Obviously other things like story and even controls are opinion. Just so you know most people are disagreeing with you not because of your opinion, but because of the way you behave.
Ohh the colors on the emblem very nice
@lettman8520
No they’re not. And believe it or not, I’m not stupid. My opinions will always be closer to fact then those who disagree with me, because I have actually played the game from beginning to end. I may realize that the glitches and bugs are ‘facts’, but Sonic 2006 is not the only game that has them. Bugs, glitches and such are common in a lot of games these days, and it’s best to ignore them rather then paying attention to them like you folks always do. Everything else that you say about the game is just personal opinion and nothing more. In fact, I have played every Sonic game from 1991 to present, seen every Sonic TV show, read every Sonic comic and manga, and I know almost everything about the series. Yet you don’t think so and happen to think me as someone stupid (Which, of course, I’m not) and blame me for my actions instead.
Then again, I don’t even care about negative reviews. I ignore them and stay faithful to my own points of view. I also respect the series for what it is, which none of you understand because you don’t want to.
Here’s a deal: I will promise to stop constantly disrespecting your opinions if you promise me that you realize that:
1. Knuckles/Rouge is not a canon couple. Rouge’s ‘crush’ on Knuckles is just Rouge being flirty. Flirty is part of her character, it’s who she is. Shadow/Rouge is way more hinted in the games, anime and comics then Knuckles/Rouge was. The series may started off with Knuckles/Rouge hints, but from what we have seen, SEGA is starting to lean towards Shadow/Rouge nowadays.
2. Tails/Cream is definitely not canon. SEGA never said anything about Tails and Cream being a couple at all, and it was never even hinted in the games. Sure, Tails and Cream talk to each other but there was no hints of them being a couple at all, since none of that was romantic interest. Tails/Cosmo existed in Sonic X and Tails/Marine was hinted at in Sonic Rush Adventure, and that was far more then Tails did to Cream in the entire franchise.
3. Then again: None of the Sonic couples are canon. Just hinted at and nothing more. If you want to see couples in the series, then go read fanfiction or something.
4. Not everyone hates Sonic 2006. There are some people who dislike it, while there are still some people who like it. The same thing goes for other games.
5. The recent Sonic games are not bad games like the majority think it is. The reason why they’re poorly-made is because they’re rushed. They had to be released before (insert month or year here) due to public demand. If SEGA took more time making the games then they would be a lot greater and more successful, but sadly, they’re not. You shouldn’t act like a snotbutt about it because look at Sonic 4 and Sonic Colors, they’re an improvement from the other recent games, and you should be happy about that.
6. The ‘designs’ are up to SEGA to decide since they own the Sonic series. They may keep the modern designs, or they’ll draw something new.
7. If SEGA were to bring the ‘classic design’ back, it will be from the games and not from the cartoons (I have nothing against the cartoons, but Sonic originated from a video game, people. Therefore he’s more video game then cartoon).
8. SatAM is not better then Sonic X, Sonic OVA or any of the games. I have nothing against SatAM, but I feel it’s overrated sometimes (especially by the furry community) and I treat all the Sonic animated adaptions (both the three western animated shows and the two anime series) as equal.
9. The SatAM VAs are not going to reprise their roles in the Sonic games. They only exist in the old Sonic SatAM TV show (with some of the VAs being in AoStH and Underground) and nothing more. No matter how much you wish or desire, they’re not coming back.
10. Disney is not going to acquire SEGA. Nor are they going to buy the rights to Sonic. SEGA and the Sonic franchise are going to remain Non-Disney. Get over it.
11. Everyone has opinions, whether you like it or not. Some people like classic Sonic better, while others like modern Sonic better. You shouldn’t attack me for my opinions, because even if I like modern Sonic’s design more, I appreciate both classic AND modern Sonic. And you should be happy about that.
This is all why I attack opinions against mine and then end up in a ‘war’ in the first place. Think you can manage that?
Yeah, the fanbase is extremely broken, but you won’t change it. It’s past the point of no return. But, moving on, again with the “I’m right and everyone who disagrees with me is wrong” thing. Like you, I have played Sonic 2006 from start to finish, and here are a few problems that I noticed:
Long loading times, frame rate problems, gameplay glitches, infinite use of the gems, collision detection problems, Silver has no aiming aid when throwing projectiles, Shadow’s vehicles are terrible to control, overuse of the Homing Attack, the Spin Dash is worthless, you can glitch into the hub world outside of the Silver the Hedgehog boss fight with Sonic.
And that’s only a HANDFUL of problems the game has. But you say these problems are not factual? And yes, you can glitch outside of the area where the Silver the Hedgehog boss fight is. Look up Part 4 of Brainscratchcomms’s Sonic 2006 playthrough on YouTube if you don’t believe me.
lol
“Agree with me always and we will never fight. Think you can manage that?”
@Vulpine
So, basically, you’re saying ‘agree with me or I’ll stop respecting your opinions’. Tad bit hypocritical, don’t you think?
Vulpine, Vulpine, Vulpine…. HUGH… Why are you so irrelevant and off topic? NO, I’m being serious.. WHY? Why must we agree with you in order to stop the arguing, hmm? Why can’t you leave something at one comment expressing YOUR opinion and move on and not care about anyone else’s? Are you this stubborn? Are you really? For the love of Mobius, you cannot be an adult. I refuse to believe that an adult can be as stubborn, ignorant, hypocritical (despite many adults being so), and self centered as you are.
You are not adult for you think you are perfect. GROW THE FUCK UP ALREADY. If you were of an adult mind you would realize many flaws in many things, especially, oh most ESPECIALLY yourself. Just please heed some advice. You’re not doing anything but pissing people off. It’s the perfect time to look in the mirror and see your reflection.
@Vulpine I’ve played from beginning to end too. I’m sure most have. But what if some of these glitches in our opinions ruins the game for us? How can we ignore that. Sure every game has glitches. But there is a reason they are brought up many times in opinions of 06. Why? They’ve most likely got annoying for the player. I don’t doubt that you’ve played all the games watched the movies etc. I’m just saying that your behavior is getting on almost everyones nerves. Also………………….
STOP STRAYING OFF TOPIC VULPINE. I HAVEN’T MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT THE DESIGN OR COUPLES OR EVEN…………………..DISNEY! Seriously Vulpine you make me question whether you’re a troll or not.
@Greg The Cat
I’ll try to leave at least one comment, and I try to stay on-topic and accept the fact that everyone’s opinion and that not everyone agrees (I usually do, don’t get me wrong) but sometimes it’s hard to do so (Especially when people like you throw a tantrum about what I have said) but I try to do my best staying on topic. Remember that I have a life, and I don’t spend my time on TSSZ all day.
It is a ‘fact’ that I’m an adult. I am not going to tell you my real age since it’s private, but I was born almost three decades ago and grew up with playing video game consoles and handhelds, with my first Sonic game being the one that started it all (Sonic 1 for the Genesis). If anything, you are the one who’s got problems in life, and you are the one who needs to look at a mirror or a reflection and see, not me. Stop telling me what to do, you whiny teenybopper. Just get a life and leave me alone for once.
@lettman8520
No I’m not. You just don’t understand what I’m saying. I’m not here to cause any trouble, okay. I comment here because TSSZ is one of the many game news websites that I have browsed for years, and it’s nice for me to voice my opinion like everyone else does, and would want to see how others think.
Vulpine just called me a teenybopper? A TEENYBOPPER…?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA.
If I were a teenybopper I’d be listening to modern day rock and Radio Disney instead of indie rock and old school rock and roll music like the Beetles, Pink Floyd, and Aerosmith in favour of listening to The All American Rejects or whatever it is my generation listens to.
You’re absolutely clueless to my own lifestyle, yet you believe you’re always right. You know what? Act your age. I’m 17. You’re in your 30s. Who’s acting the most mature here? Oh wait, you’re going to answer yourself because you think you’re flawless. I’m not, you’re not, get over it, you entitled American douchebag. You and most Americans make me sick to be in my own country.
@Vulpine We can accept that Vulpine, you have the right to voice your opinion just like everyone else here. But when you force your opinion on to us and insult us by calling us lesser sonic fans and refer to yourself as perfect…..then theirs a problem. I really do hope in the future you can sort this out so we ALL can become friends just commenting on TSSZnews.
@lettman8520
Okay then, I promise to sort this out that I won’t get in trouble again.
sonic is back on the game
