Another heads up from Zifei. There's a new interview with Yuji Naka on the net, but it doesn't have to do with Sonic Team. Naka won a contest held by Japanese car dealer Cornes to promote their new "instant delivery" Ferrari service. The interview is here, but it's in Japanese, so have a translator ready. Xen Gamers has a summary of the details here.
Anyone remember the canceled game Sonic Xtreme that was orginally for 32X, then switched to Saturn THEN switched again to PC and was ultimately canned? What? You didn't now of the PC port? WEEELLL then I supposed you don't know about it's plan to use the NiGHT's engine? Well now you can!
Blaze Hedgehog caught up with the man in charge of the project, Mike Wallis himself! PACHUKA of Sonic Cult performed an interview and found many o interesting things about Sonic Xtreme, including the REAL reason it was canned. The interview can be read on This Page and also on the main page is some actuall music from Sonic Xtreme, which was provided by Chris Senn who was in charge of the PC port.
I know what you're all thinking. DO we get a copy? I will say it's possible, but the Chris Senn interview isn't complete yet, but he IS thinking about it. Stay tuned to Sonic Cult for more info.

KojiChao of the StH Area51 MB and other various places, has translated a Japanese document which answers tells many secrets about Sonic Adventure 2 that were't revealed in teh English version. (we always get the shaft)
It also explains why we're hearing about Shadow being in other games when it was believed he had died. You see, there may be actualy several Shadows lurking about... but I'm getting ahead of myself. Here's the story on what she had to say:
Sonic Team is offering some downloads for Windows & Macs called Minitoys. Also, there's a Sonic/Shadow SA2B puzzle on the page. They require Flash to be used.
Also, there are pictures of some new Sonic merchandise available. You have to be in Japan to get it though.

It looks as if the series 'Sonic Underground' has returned to television in North America. It is airing on TELETOON in Canada at 7:00 A.M. Eastern Monday-Friday. Just thought I'd print it for any SU fans out there.
