As if this day wasnt newsy enough – in the break of bad news on Fleetway and good news on Sonic gaming. Now we get “MAYBE/ALERT” news on Sonic Archie. I waited two days to post this news and I’m glad I did because of certain situations…According to a post by Ken Penders that began […]
Remember that Sonic Party game we announced a couple of months ago along with the SA2 rumors that we posted yesterday - well today Daily Radar put this little tidbit up that is MOST interesting....
We don't have much in the way of information as yet, but we do know that there are two new Sonic the Hedgehog games headed your way soon. Likely to be the first off the Sega production line is a game now known as Sonic Shuffle. Although details regarding gameplay are scarce, we do know that it's a multi-player event game, not entirely dissimilar in style to Mario Party. We also know that it was formerly known as, or at least code-named, Sonic Party. Expect to see several famous Sega characters, hopefully including Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Vector Man, Shinobi, the Virtua Fighter crew, and others appear in the game.
The other game, possibly imaginatively titled Sonic Adventure 2, is a sequel to Sonic Adventure (duh), and promises much more elaborate and attractive Sonic the Hedgehog patented superfast gameplay. Our Japanese spies report that the game is a much more ambitious and less-hastily assembled effort, likely to take full advantage of the cavernous Dreamcast power. Nobody from Sega of America was prepared to comment, but we hope to see one or both of these titles at the upcoming E3 Expo.
Now we have what is FINALLY reliable news on BOTH subjects! ^^ And with E3 stuff coming soon and the announcement of a double whammy of Sonic games, its gonna be interesting to see how this pans out...
Sonic Shuffle....Sounds a lot better than Sonic Party, but either way it still sounds like a bad dance remix. ^__^ I like the idea of the old school Sega characters. Sorta establishes that Sega hasnt forgotten their classics. But whatever happened to Alex Kidd? ^_^

I wanted to wait until I heard more from the source who emailed before I put this up - but since the person hasnt responded yet, I won't say his name here for certain reasons and I'll be rather limited on what I put here for fear of getting said person in trouble. But I felt this posting pertinent as a petition has already started and I've gotten like 3 emails in my box telling me. And at this point if its sometihing that does affect a large portion of the Sonic community, people who read said item need to know. :P
After the current writers 10 issue run on the Sonic comics (currently in the partial SA adaption, #179), Fleetway's United Kingdom Sonic The Comic is going all reprint.
This DOES NOT MEAN that the book is cancelled, but this does mean that there will be no new stories at all for the foreseeable future - all of them will be stories that you've already read. Forseen by some readers, the book (which usually went 4/4 new stories back in the day) is currently at the stage where it is 2 to mostly 3/4 reprint.
A little more can be explained at the Save STC petition which has just begun and was started by STC fan Caroline Merritt. And I'll go into more detail and post something new when I hear form the source whom I recently emailed. Good luck STC fans.

This month, our editorial focus for you all rests on two major Sonic Adventure factions - The Games And Comics.
All things SA AND SA2 - What we would like to know for this month is how do you feel the Sonic Adventure adaptions/integrations have progressed under Karl Bollers' (USA) and Nigel Kitching's (UK) guidance? What do you think of Mr. Bollers' overall SA writing on Archie? For the UK visitors, was Richard Elson's redesigning of Chaos a wise move and What do you think of Nigel Kitching killing Johnny Lightfoot in Fleetway? Have the SA Adaptions had success, failure, or otherwise for both countries?
For Sonic Adventure 2 - do you think that Archie and Fleetway should tackle these and game wise we'd like to know from you what would you most like to see and NOT SEE in a sequel to the Dreamcast Hit!
