  • Sega Considering Acquisitions

    This business-side info on Sega comes from Gamespot:

    The company may be looking to purchase other publishers to bolster its position in the market.

    According to a recent story on Reuters, Sega is currently considering the purchase of other publishers in North America and Europe to strengthen its position in the market and move it closer to the achievement of its goal to be the top publisher in the world. The only company completely ruled out is Electronic Arts, but there are several companies rumored to be involved in Sega's plans, including THQ and Infogrames, which saw a significant increase in stock value after the news was released.

    We'll have more as it becomes available.

    Sega Brings Old Sonic

    From IGNCube:

    The company clarifies which "new" Sonic title is GCN bound.

    July 02, 2002 - Yesterday Sega announced that it would deliver GameCube owners two new Sonic branded titles. The first, Sonic Mega Collection, would appear to be a compilation of classic Sonic games. The other, originally called a new Sonic Adventure title by Sega, is in fact not the case at all, according to the firm.

    Sega clarified earlier today that its US and Japanese branches had a "miscommunication" yesterday and that the previously announced upcoming Sonic Adventure title is really a port of Sonic Adventure 1 to GameCube.

    Sonic Adventure 1 first appeared on Sega's ill-fated Dreamcast console in September of 1999, already making the offering nearly three years out of date. The title, which neatly situated Sonic the Hedgehog into smooth-rolling 3D environments and injected lots of speed into the fairly straightforward play mechanics, earned a modest 8.6 rating by our notoriously overzealous sister site IGN Dreamcast.

    When asked what changes would be made to the title for its GameCube debut, Sega said that it could not offer specifics at this point in time.

    More as it develops.

    A Little SatAM Related News.

    Hello.

    I was just over at FUS, and apparently, it looks as if there will be more Sonic SatAM DVD's on the way. Sonique Hedgehog had written a letter to DiC Entertainment's Don Gold, looking for information on the subject, and got this reply.

    "Hi. Yes, there will be more Sonic DVD's coming. Hopefully by the end of the year.

    She also went on to ask, for confirmation's sake, which series it would be from, either AoStH, SatAM, or SU, and Don replied, "No problem. From Sonic the Hedgehog."(SatAM's actual title)

    Now, it is not known exactly which eps will be next for release, but I'd be safe to say that the eps from the "Hooked On Sonics" tape that was released as part of the original set of SatAM tapes in the Spring of 1994 will be involved somehow.

    Well, that's it for me for now. Credit goes to Fans United for SatAM for this information, and to Sonique for posting the story to begin with.

    I'm out. See ya!

    New Sonic games bound for GameCube, GBA

    This info comes from Gamespot:

    The next installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and more are coming Nintendo's platforms.

    Sega has announced that it will release the next installment in its Sonic the Hedgehog franchise for the GameCube. According to a representative from Sega of America, the game will be a brand-new addition to the franchise instead of a remake of the original Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, as was first suspected. In addition, Sega is also developing Sonic Mega Collection for the GameCube and Sonic Advance 2 for the Game Boy Advance.

    "Building upon the excellent worldwide sales and incredible success of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Sonic Advance, Sega is determined to develop and release new titles in the Sonic the Hedgehog series that will appeal to the growing audience of gamers worldwide," said Tetsu Kayama, chief operating officer, Sega Corporation.

    While no details on the games have been disclosed, Sonic Advance and Sonic Mega Collection are expected for a release within this year in Japan. Both games will also be showcased at the upcoming World Hobby Fair held later this month in Japan.

    Sonic Team also announced that Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the GameCube and Sonic Advance for the Game Boy Advance have shipped 1 million copies each worldwide.

    SVTcc (Comic Convention Details)

    New information about the comic convention has finally been released. Go to the following address and bookmark it, because this is the address where the comic convention will be held:

    www.svtcc.cjb.net

    We already have comics enlisted in this coming event: Other-M, Shadow the Comic, SU2 and Sonic Shadows to name a few. I've heard of other's interest to join, but no confirmation yet. Christine Chong's comics may make an appearance there.

    This page I just linked you to should explain all. Thanks for listening.

    SVTcc (Comic Convention)

    Hello, ladies and germs. This is SA speaking of the SonicVerse Team. I recently announced a big event that'll take place three times a year. It's an online comic convention called SVTcc. Of course, the name is pending upon it's first event so we'll see how that goes. But anyway, for those of you who want to get an idea, refer to the past few SAGE events (for those of you who are famliare with SAGE).

    SVTcc will commence starting this December and from there it'll take place every March, June and December. Basically, this is an open event/contest that'll span for two weeks. Anybody who creates fan comic can enter. You are required to make your own booth (like in SAGE) using your own webspace (sorry, I'm not offering any due to the already many hosted sites).

    All your booths will be linked back to the main SVTcc page under the booths section. When the event opens, people will come and look around. It'll be the biggest fan comic event ever with a GREAT sum of comics to look through. At the end of their reading, they'll vote for their favorite comics (by category) and at the end of the two weeks, the polls will be counted and winners will be issued with small custom awards handed out.

    We already have Other-M, Shadow the Comic, Sonic Shadows, Christine Chong's comic and SU2 signed up for this event, to name a few. I'd like to see the Sonic Ideal, and others join in on this. You don't have to have a team, you don't have to have a comic series, it could even be just comic strips. They'll all be classified into categories.

    In closing, I just want to mention that I'm going to be opening the SVTcc page tomarrow with instructions on how to sign up and details on the event. I hope that word of this reaches out to as many people as possible so we can make this event big. I'll announce the url of the SVTcc page tomarrow. Till then, sleep well people!
