Therefore, the Music Zone is the next section to be given a facelift – along with a TON of downloadable CD Soundtracks and game music to boot! You’ll love it I’m sure ^_^ Have fun.

This is one of those rare moments where I post non-Sonic news, but it might get some Sonic fans who have yet to buy the Gamecube to buy it.

So if your a Sonic fan and has yet to buy the Nintendo Gamecube, go out and buy it now!

SAGE is less than a month away, and we’re giving you the exclusive details on a new Fan Game developer who will be rearing it’s head among the entire Online Sonic Community. Labelled Shadow Team, regular visitors of TSS will know them as the home-grown antics of Roareye, Anarchy Rat and Dreadknux (Click HERE to visit the website), but this will be their first real appearance onto the public.
Their first game, Sonic Avalanche, met with a very good reception at Sonic Fan Games HQ, but with SAGE hopefully shedding of it’s niche audience, Shadow Team and other Fan Game teams will be able to get more recognition for their work. Continue reading Pre-SAGE: Shadow Team’s Showcase

Yes, SAGE (Sonic Amateur Games Expo) is coming up fast once again, and entries are being accepted by Perfect Chaos Zero until the 24th August!
For those that do not yet know what SAGE is, we can’t really blame you. SAGE is a showcase of everyone’s Fan Games, much like what E3 does for professional video games. It pops up twice a year, and the first opening in 2000/2001 caused a huge reaction within the Online Sonic Community. Thank Blaze Hedgehog for that.
But as time went on, interest for the event waned, as the event slowly became more and more the property of popular site Sonic Fan Games HQ. The last Sonic Amateur Game Expos have been alright, but didn’t really catch mainstream like it used to – only people who visited SFGHQ on a regular basis showed their items.

Right, here’s a treat for you – I finally managed how to do the layout for the Video Games pages, so now all Sonic Mega Drive/Mega CD/32X games and Nintendo GameCube games are available to view as normal. The other games will be added later – I’m tired, see, and about to participate in an archery contest in the middle of my mum’s birthday party – don’t ask 😛

No update today guys, but very good news all the same!
I got my A Level results back yesterday – I got a B, two C’s and a D!
😀 That means I’ve fully earned my place at University. I’ll be moving over during the end of September/beginning of October, and I’ll be studying Computer Games and Internet Technology. ^_^ It should be really exciting learning how to program and design computer games for real! That’s all – Expect an update tomorrow, if the man upstairs be even more generous.

Below is from Planet Gamecube:
It seems Sega is slowly lifting itself out of the gutter. Thursday Sega announced a profit of 1.89 billion yen, or 15.8 million dollars, and 42.4 billion yen ($353 million) in sales between April and June. Although it is hard for analysts to make projections on the rest of Sega’s year, as this is Sega’s first quarterly earnings report publicly released, it is safe to say any profit is good for the company, whose reports have historically been in the red.
Sega attributes this pleasant surprise to key titles such as Sonic Adventure DX: Director’s Cut, an updated GameCube port of the signature Dreamcast title, and the quirky Let’s Make a J-League Soccer Club 3 for the PS2, both of which sold above Sega’s expectations. Sega reports it is still on track to meet its goal of 7.5 billion yen ($1.6 billion) in profit by the end of March 2004.
Looks like the ports are selling well, makes you think what the sales for Sonic Heroes will be…

SSMB member, Mad Ad, talked exclusively to Dreadknux about the almost damn-near certainty of a Fighting Fan Game, including members of the SSMB. Dreadknux has given Mad Ad permission to use the SSMB and TSS name in this Fan Game, along with sprites of his character.
The plan for the fighting game is not one large game, it is lots of small instalment-like games, with each instalment being a match. Each game will be small, as it will be part of an ongoing fighting series. There is a league planned using this format style.
The way it is planned to play is very much like a basic form of Smash Bros. Characters will have a limited attack range, but scenery in stages will provide many inventive ideas for other methods of attack. Continue reading SSMB Fighting Game?

TSS History updated
A site called TBBZ recently had a major awards ceremony. The Sonic Stadium cleaned up the event, winning 4 awards! Thanks guys! Speaking of which, it’s made me revamp the TSS History section, PHP-style. You’ll be able to see the awards we’ve won, the many different layouts we have had, and the TSS Timeline (written by myself) has been updated by a month. I’ll try and get it up to date soon.
Also, we have got buttons at the bottom of the navigation bar on each page. If you like what you see on the site, please click these buttons and vote for TSS. Clicking all four links doesn’t take 2 minutes, and they all open in new windows. This is so that we know the amount of support we got for future events and features we can add to the site. Thanks a lot for your vote! ^_^

Yes, Sonic News is still here, but in a cleaner form! You’ll notice that most of Sonic News has changed. This is the new, improved version of Sonic News, for we have, like The Sonic Stadium, gone PHP stylee.
What does this mean to you? Well, for a start you’ll be able to get your news fix much quicker and faster than ever before (and considering how fast Sonic News is in the first place…), as well as cool extras such as being able to add your own comments and thoughts on the many Sonic and Sonic Team headlines passing through here.
You can also let a friend know about any of the articles we have, just by clicking on ‘Send to Friend’ and filling in the details. The news prior to this month (August) has been removed temporarily – now that archives will be added automatically, it seems fitting for us to archive the news headlines that we had to manually update.
Soon the ‘Articles’ section in the MEDIA Channel will be moved to Sonic News too, where it will belong most – for it’s great move, you can submit any editorial articles that you have written – be it your theories on the Sonic Universe, a thought about the Online Community, or just general Sonic theory-ness.

This has been around a while, but this is to those that do not know. Fans United for SatAM (FUS) has information that a Sonic Underground DVD will be released.
BUY IT. Even if you hate the series, BUY IT.
Why?
Because if you buy the DVD, DiC will most likely be allowed the rights to release a planned SatAM BOX SET, and maybe even a movie, if the rumour mill is to be believed. The people stopping DiC from doing so is Disney and Buena Vista, so the only way to get to these corporate airheads is to buy, buy buy.
You know it makes sense. Click the banner at the bottom of the main page for more information.
