Recently, there have been a lot of questions about DiC's "Sonic" (cartoon series unspecified) DVD release. People have been asking abut it at video stores only to get weird looks from confused clerks. Well, we don't know when it's coming out, but it is still planned forr the market. Sonmanic wrote DiC and got this response, reconfirming the videos.

Thanks for your interest in Sonic. Yes, it is true, we will be releasing Sonic on Home Video and most likely DVD as well. There will be a Sonic release this year and most likely some in 2002 as well. We are working with Sega on cross-promotional activities to tie in with the 10th anniversary of Sonic. Unfortunately, as of now, that is all the information we can release.

Again, thanks for being a loyal supporter of Sonic!

Public posting is off until I add the screening upgrade, due to insane amounts of lamers this week. Post news in Station Square, please.

I've been planning to add post screening here for a while, but I've been too busy. This has gone too far, though. Even people who follow the rules are posting old or incorrect news. So until the screening is up, please post it on Station Square first and stuff that is news will be copied here.

The Floating Island has an interview with Lina Mineelli, the voice of Rouge, Omochao, and hundreds of other characters, which you can read here. In the interview, Robotnik's father is mentioned, which almost certainly refers to the "Pr. Gerald Robotonik" on Sonic Team's page.

Some interesting stuff is on Sonic Team's English SA2 page. It's confirmed that the military is after Sonic because they think he's Shadow, and that all the characters go to a space station named ARK that contains the "Eclipse Cannon." Slightly surprising is tyhat Tails apparently is just as good with machinery as Robotnik, and Sonic and Knuckles are listed as "friends." However, the big surprise is in Shadow's profile. It says that he was built by "Pr.Gerald Robotonik." If this isn't a translation mistake, then Sonic Team is either using the English name for Eggman for another character, or the game could intro one of Robotnik's relatives.

Sonic Team's SA2 page has info on some of the game's bosses. Of course, the character vs. character battles are back, but the 2 other bosses mentioned are a surprise. Big Foot is a mechanical walker built by the military and one of Sonic's bosses. It belongs to the "Scorpion Troop." Shadow fights Hot Shot, a flying military machine that chases him and fires on the ground (which sounds like a very cool boss, IMO). It belongs to the "Spider Troop." No clue what these "troops" are - maybe competing teams attempting to catch Shadow?

New SA2 screens have been released today, and well, WOW.

Watch out for that laser!

Is that Metal Sonic's rocket booster?

This looks like some kind of volcano stage, but what's really interesting is that blue figure that looks suspiciously like Metal Sonic! @.@ In fact, this LOOKS LIKE it might even be another race stage between Sonic and Metal Sonic, a la Sonic CD! We'll keep you posted as more screens show up.

Note: It's A Joke. ;)

Please don't post opinions, news rebuttals/corrections, or rumors here. We have a board SPECIFICALLY for those things, called Station Square. If the rumor looks interesting and not TOO wild, we'll post it.
