Which Edition is Looking For Some “Adventure?”
We see a lot of hope here for Sega to continue the Sonic Adventure series formally, and in Japan at least, those pleas are being respected, if only half-heartedly. Sonic Unleashed was known as Sonic World Adventure in Japan, and it appears that division will continue the tradition of sorts with the 3DS edition of Sonic Generations in that country only.
Andriasang cites the latest Famitsu publication, which is reporting name alterations for both console and portable editions in Japan. The XBOX 360 and PS3 editions will carry the subheader of Shiro no Jikuu–translated into White Time and Space in English. Meanwhile, the 3DS edition is titled Sonic Generations: Ao no Bouken. Translated, that subtitle is read as Blue Adventure.
To be clear, this will only apply to editions released in Japan. Sonic Generations will be known as just that domestically. But take comfort, Adventure lovers: Sega hasn’t completely left you behind.

Worst news I’ve read in a while.
So the Sega blog just confirmed that at least the 3DS version of Generations is out in November! Wonder if that holds for the other versions?
Oops, sorry for the double-post. Guess it’s out in November for all versions. Missed the bottom of the post
White Time and Space? Interesting….
And we already knew this was coming. The Hub World were confirmed a long time ago, weren’t they?
………………………………..why?
Tristan, it is simply absurd to believe that a simple word in the title may satisfy the fans of a certain game sub-series, while apart from the word in the title, there is nothing else from that series. \:
@FoxBoy
The following appear in SA1, 2, and 06 as posters or billboards
SA1;Chao in Space
SA2:Chao in Space 2
06:Chao in Space 3
It might be a dumb thing to use as proof but there it is, the game was probably seen internally as the next Adventure game or spiritual successor, the Unleashed team started off with Adventure 3 mindset as well and even wanted to call it that.
Why are people making such a big fuss over subtitles? It’s not like the subtitles themselves while screw over the physics or something. I don’t care for them either, but seriously, is it really that big of a national crisis?
I agree with FoxBoy 110%. Just because it has the name Adventure in it doesn’t mean it’s a part of the Adventure series. In order for it to be truly part of the Adventure series it has to play like the Adventure series and NOT just have the name Adventure in it. I really hope that that’s not what Sega of Japan is really trying to do and as in that I mean making us think that it’s supposed to be a sequel when it’s really not because we’re not that stupid, at least I hope none of us is that stupid.
one thing im wondering about:
is this game gonna have LOTS of time travel or just stay in the past with classic sonic :/?
because it would be awesome if classic sonic and modern sonic travel a bit further in the “past future” like to the event of sonic unleashed, sonic colors, sonic adventure, ETC.
lol but i doubt nobody can answer this
plus, if there’s the word ADVENTURE in it, it doesn’t mean its gonna be part of the SA series >.<
i could say sonic unleshed, sonic rush adventure, etc. are part of the adventure series.
Come on guys this is not the Sonic Adventure 3 title, but dont worry its a little hint that the Adventure series will continue sometime in the future. No need to think about the past bad Sonic games we’ve all played and look foward to Sonic Adventure 3 sometime in the future. Hopefully nothing stupid like Sonic 06 or crappy boost gameplay that Unleashed has, then keep Sonic style gameplay with lots of extra stuff to do in the game.
@Shark – Uh, no. I’m not sarcastic.
As far as my concerns, SA titles in Japanese as ソニック・アドベンチャー(Sonikku Adobenchaa), which transliterates the English title(also with Sonic World Adventure); while this “Bouken”（冒険, means adventure) in the title actually read in Kanji.
So if there’s continuity, this would not be an ADVENTURE title. Don’t take it for granted, folks.:)
