I'm proud to announce that Sonic HQ got its 1 millionth visitor at 7:29 PM Pacific September 26th. It's been incredible to bring the site to you and we've got a ton of additional features planned. :)

The site has been through a ton of changes, starting as Zifei's Sonic Page on geocities, then getting a staff to become Sonic HQ, then moving to EmulationZone.org, and changing hands between Zifei, WB and myself, and now Lianne and I. I've met many friends and learned a ton personally by being here. We'd like to thank all our visitors for coming by and sticking with us. ^_^

Interesting news from Gaming Age:

Today, Sega of Japan and Bandai announced that Sega will begin bringing titles to the Wonderswan Color. The first title to hit Bandai's little handheld, will be a port of the arcade and Genesis classic, Golden Axe. Sega will be allowing Bandai to handle development of the game, but they will still play a part in it.

Pocket IGN has a report that says Sonic Advance for GBA will work with the GameCube version of Sonic Adventure 2.

Ladies and gentlemen, as I type this, surely you know of the grave tragedy that happened in New York City and Washington today. If not, the short of it is that two planes crashed into the World Trade Centre today in NYC, and the Pentagon in Washington in a terrorist attack. The towers collasped, in which tens of thousands work every day, and west wing of the Pentagon is destroyed. On behalf of the entire HQ staff, we'd like to express our condolences and sorrow for what has happened today, and offer our thoughts and prayers for the families, and the victims.
