Sonic and Mario aren’t wasting any time, and are getting themselves “pumped” for the next games in 2012!
At long last it is here! The sequel you guys have been waiting for! Return to a human world influenced by the characteristics and adventures of the Sonic world you know and love. I won’t waste your time with words, just watch it and enjoy!
Some characters you may wish to know:
Sonic
You should all know who this character is. He’s still a positive guy who loves the thrill of adventure. Thanks to the time stones from the previous movie, who knows what he gets up to these days.
TailsStill looking after his Tornado, but hasn’t seen Sonic for a long, long time.
Amy
She also hasn’t heard from Sonic for a long time. But in this canon, she has reason to be annoyed, as Sonic has a spark for her.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik
Dr. Robotnik is recovering from his previous defeat. But this time he has much bigger plans.
Did you see! DID YOU FREAKING SEE IT YET! Finally after over a year, Return To Little Planet returns this new years day exclusively on The Sonic Show!
Have you watched the trailer! Epic stuff, it’s about time we had one of these fan films actually get released!
It’s time for another episode of The Sonic Show. This time around, we hit the road and visit SEGA of America in San Francisco, California for their second annual community event. We’ll play some PSP, talk to the employees at SOA and drop dimes on Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1. Joining me on this trip is none other than America’s favorite doppleganger, Ben Kalough, SEGA of Antarctica’s best PR man.
For the Sonic 4 feedback session, I cut down the 30 minutes into about 10. There are moments where I started to speak and cut the camera, because I didn’t feel like rolling on what I was saying for those initial discussions about physics and level design. I spoke at length and since I gesticulate a lot, it would have been a mess. I wanted to focus on making a good, concise point instead of worrying about filming. As a substitute, I’ve cut in abridged versions of what I said to Aaron and Ken, set to the Sonic 3invincibility theme.
Note: they wanted feedback and we gave it to them professionally. Anybody who says, “oh my god complaiiiiniiiiing” needs a reality check. Any comments like this one will be deleted and you will be banned. I don’t even want to deal with the Sonic Defense Force today (or ever, really). Sonic 4: Episode 1 has major problems, so we aired them to make Episode 2 better. Sonic 4: Good Edition.
Enjoy the video and for a more detailed report of the event, I wrote one up this past Sunday. Feel free to ask questions about the event and I will be more than happy to answer them for you. Thanks again to all of the SOA employees and to all the guests who were featured in the video. I had an absolute blast this past weekend and I think it shows!
I’ll be the first to admit, this sort of thing probably won’t interest a lot of you. Even though I’ve had a gradual resurgence of interest in the Archie characters, even I found myself doing other things while watching through this video.
Nevertheless, Selinka and I promised you video of the event, so here it is! To sweeten the pot, we’ve brought you even more never before seen Megaman concept art, as well a few things you might have found elsewhere. This art is from the “Creators Tell All” panal, which should be going up tomorrow, and be infinitely more interesting to watch. Till then…well, enjoy!
Megaman Concept Art:
One of these pieces where released by Newsarama as exclusive art, in perfect clarity. You can find it here.
Without further ado…

Near the end of part 3 we hit a bit of a lull. But I do recommend at least clicking to moment 6:20 of part 3.
Brad Flick: Our running crew at Sonic Retro usually hops on Skype once a day. It’s pretty ridiculous. A recent tradition at the annual Sonic Amateur Games Expo has been to get together and read incredibly awful fan-fiction (aka most fan-fiction) with Dom of Rare Candy. Back in 2008, this was the most ridiculous fan-fiction that we had read to date. It still stands as one of the all-time greats. Retro member H_Hog recently finished an animation on his DSi, a projecttwo-years in the making, to accompany the audio.
Complete with Dom’s amazing musical talents, his Andross-inducing reverb and H_Hog’s Flipnote Studio animation, Sonic Retro presents… “Cream Kills Everybody: A SonicBlast08 Masterpiece.” Warning: language and poorly-drawn gore.
Starring the voice talents of: Dom, H_Hog, Kroze, InstantSonic and Katzu Niku. Stay tuned for more dramatic fan-fic readings. Trust me, we’ve got plenty. Yes, I play Rotor in most of them. He’s so fabulous.
Well, I’m finally getting around to uploading the stuff I got from PAX. This is the first piece I’m putting up: footage for the Wii version of Sonic 4. Jason tells me there hasn’t been much footage of this version, so he told me to get some. Not sure if you’ll notice the differences, but the only real changes are more noticeable jaggies and darker colors, the most notable of which being the darker color of Sonic himself. The Wii’s D-pad was a really nice change in control from the crappy D-pad on the Xbox 360, so unless I can get my hands on a good 360 retro controller before the game comes out, I might find myself buying this version instead.

As you can see, I screwed around in the demo a bit. Mostly, I was experimenting with the game and trying to find things I didn’t see last time. The game was, of course, fun. As I’ve said before, the game focuses primarily on momentum, with many of the boosters only acting to keep you moving along, or help you up steeper areas that don’t give you much room to build up speed. I skipped a couple, some by accident and some on purpose, but that didn’t impede my progress much.
I will say this, though: upon repeated play, the different physics have become glaringly apparent. They don’t do anything to actually hurt the fun, but really, if the fans figured out the equations to Sonic physics years ago, would it really be that hard for you to realize them in Sonic 4, Dimps? It almost feels like the game is “faking” the physics at times. Yes, Sonic could go through loops, but he couldn’t horizontally on them! That said, Dimps has successfully made the closest thing we’ve had to a classic Sonic game in 11 years in this demo.
Naturally, this is the E3 demo. Aaron Webber confirmed this for us before the show even started. It’s still a really fun game all around and I’m looking forward to the final product, which will hopefully change the physics enough to please those who want something even closer to what the classic games where.

The first outing for Return to Little Planet II.

What would you like to see in the sequel!?
You all asked if we were going to do another special like last year. It seems that the answer would be yes! Unlike last year, we didnt really plan to do one. With out focus being on the live broadcast, so we picked up our crappy video camera and attempted to get a few things for you. My camera doesnt deal with crowd noise, but anyone is free to subtitle it for me if they drop me a PM .
The Sonic Show and Sonic Showcase Network are very happy to bring you this hour of highlights from the Summer Of Sonic. And amazingly, we have missed out so many things! You just can’t imagine how busy the day was!
Here is a quick guideline of this epic Sonic Show episode:
Thanks to everyone who took part, I’ve never be so proud and happy to part of such a strong community. (I promise next year to do something a bit more professional)
Well this looks interesting doesn’t it…
Oh bugger I cant be arsed to write anything, COPY PASTE TIME!
THIS IS IT FELLOW MOBIANS! Over 10 months of development has yielded the penultimate event involving our favorite speedy blue hedgehog.
So now that the trailer has finally graced the interwebs, it begs the question. Would you like to see this Fan Film become a reality?
The decision rests in your hands Freedom Fighters!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!From Gamespot,
Speaking with GameSpot, Sega associate brand manager, Ken Balough confirmed that Project Needle mouse will feature HD graphics. He also said the game’s concept was a response to “old-school Sonic fans” who “have long asked to see Sonic return to a more 2D style of gameplay.”
Knuckles Briefs is a collab created by all of you’re favourite (or more likely, hated) Sonic characters. Knuckles is fed up of the attention brought to Sonic through the acclaimed series, ‘Sonic Shorts’ and has decided to have his own collection of “briefs”.
Knuckles Briefs is collection of hilarious shorts by the Sonic Paradox team. Sonic Paradox are known for many things in the community, most notable being the Sonic Shorts and Sonic Tribute collections. This flash was created for the Summer Of Sonic event, however unfortunately never made it’s appearence on the day. But fret not as we can finally share it with you here!
I should hope so, Sonic Paradox has been around since 2006, though the first collaboration was the “Tribute Collab 1″ back in 2005. Their forum was created by Lilmario and The Wax created the main site. The first project was started by Sweet_Kat22 from Newgrounds. She, however, has moved on from Sonic Paradox.
When Sweet_Kat22 dropped down from being leader, HyperactiveYouth (known for Sonic: Uncut 1, 2 and 3) stepped in, becoming the 2nd leader in charge of Sonic Tribute Collab 2. However, due to development hell, HyperactiveYouth stepped down as well and their longest in service member, Bit-Master, became the 3rd leader. Due to slow progress, he stepped down from being leader to co-leader with their current leader, The Wax (known for Full Metal Sonic, Sonic Halo, and Sonic: Dark Chaos, and a variety of shorts). The Wax is the creator of the Sonic Short Volumes you all know and love.
Hey there everyone, Todd Hakusho here. Yes, I am very aware I haven’t done anything for the show for a while; this fact goes ignored for now (XD lol). In any case, we at the Sonic Show are proud to feature Psyguy’s newest creation; Sonic Abridged(.com) as part of our video vidcast.
Don’t forget to visit SonicAbridged.com and show him your support! A big thanks to Psyguy who let us share his cool new video with you!
MP3 of all the live songs will be posted here throughout the day.
MP3 of all the live songs will be posted here throughout the day.
Broadcasting will be live between 11am and 6pm GMT. These times may vary on the day.
The Summer of Sonic 2009 is set to be even bigger than the first in 2008, with many special guests, a load of events taking place on stage and around the venue, and the return of areas and features that you guys loved – only ten times bigger! We’re going with the tried-and-tested uStream – we have an easy job putting it on, you have an easy job viewing it. We’ll have a camera perched in Dread’s Crow’s Nest™ with a good view of the crowd and the stage all through the day, and Jay up in the place will keep you up to date on developments with a live video ticker, so if you miss Lee’s presumedly excellent show or something similarly freaky – that’s freaky in a good way – you’ve only got yourself to blame. Or your computer. Or your annoying sibling cruely stealing the computer.
Unquestionable taste in suits
The host for your video pleasure is the one and only Roareye Black. He’ll be guiding you throughout the days events as well as asking Sonic fans what they think of the day so far (and hopefully all in a snazzy suit).
At the end of Summer of Sonic everyone paid tribute to Sonic with a massive cake – except it wasn’t for him but for someone else! Then ArchangelUK has to ruin it all naturally by reminding everyone that Rory and Svend still owe him the Wrecks Factor forfeit and that they would be singing the DK Rap.
NOW.
