20 Years of History On Display
Our Japan correspondent Danny Russell will make the trip to Tokyo’s Joypolis and check it out for himself soon enough, but in the meantime, with the exhibit now about a week old, a French site offers a lengthy video and lengthy tour or what Sega is showing off.
You can see a display of games and merchandise, along with artwork on one end. On the other are free plays of both Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic Adventure. Tucked nearly in the middle is a demo of Sonic Generations for the public to pick up and play.
For a demonstration of the hedgehog’s 20 years, the display seems tucked away in the corner of the Joypolis center, and you’ll also note very few people were on hand for the exhibit. Hopefully, that tide will turn in the coming weeks. Take a look below.














The man playing seemed troubled.
At :40 you can see SA1 concept art of a more classic looking Robotnik, at one point he in development he was going to look more or less the same before being redesigned.
i have my own museum, its on a sonic gems disk!
Whats with that guy playing modern sonic? He really cant be that bad, pressing boost over and over in a corner?
Wow, I never knew Eggman had ANOTHER redesign.
I wonder if they had Sega Sonic Arcade on display.
I wanna go there now XD but yeah maybe people just didn’t know there was a Sonic Generations demo there….yet lol
So this is what heaven on Earth looks like 0.0 . . . .
@Brandon: Needs more Crush40.
@Cheddly:
Nice. Also more rings
Looks amazing. I wish I could go =(
… I need to go there. 0_0
I wish I could go or be there
I m planning to go to japan this year, or next year, i ll have to go to this center! I m a bit jealous of those 2 guys, but for once, they are french, like me, so i can understand the video clearly^^
Why go to a museum? Just bust into some retro fans room with a camera
Oh! I dont know what this guy is saying, but somewhere in there he said generations……yeah dont know why i said this
6:38
I don’t believe that some people play games so bad…
@Brandon: Screw rings. Where are the chilidogs, man?
Never seen that Silver plush @1:38 before… Looks awesome
LOL, the guy at 6:38 makes me wanna facepalm.
I can’t wait to play Sonic Generations on my PlayStation Trois XD.
wow, that place is like a dream. I was hoping Sonic Boom would be more like that.
One of these days, I will get out of the East Coast and give all these places a visit: joypolis, E3, summer of sonic, and the list goes on. Well, I hope someday.
@ 3:28
SONIC GOT SWAGG!
lol ;p
Okay, now that’s pretty awesome. I wish I could see it up close for myself, so that I can more easily see everything that’s on display.
Looks Awesome! I just wish I can understand what they’re saying.
WHOA! Look at 4:45 – 5:00. Could someone identify what game trailer that is on the big screen? I don’t think I’ve seen it before.
ooohhh. Le poop.
I want to go there one day. Looks kinda empty though.
I wanna go there one day, it seems interesting.~<3
@sonic52789 That entire building isnt just sonic stuff, Its most likely a random sega game
@Epicenter713
That’s putting it lightly…:/
I love!
Tell our correspondent to take pictures of all that concept art!
