Sega and Microsoft To Team Up?
You say the Xbox has no good games? It seems an old friend might have something to say about that.
March 26, 2001
If the startling silence of GDC is any indication, Microsoft has more than a few major announcements up their sleeve, and while most are anticipating more launch details and information on Team Xbox's Network Strategy, the unveiling of multiple 3rd party developers will undoubtedly take center stage among enthusiast gamers. To that end, IGN Xbox has learned that one of the primary partners for Microsoft's new console will be none other than the newly platform-agnostic crew at Sega. While details are scarce at best, rumor has it that this newly-made 3rd party giant is about to strut its stuff in a big way, revealing a horde of titles that will be joining the Xbox software line-up.
While no specifics are available at present, rumors about the company's sports franchises making the leap to multiple platforms have already hit the web, and IGN Xbox has also heard that the Bill Gates Keynote will include some surprises. What surprises? Well, while no specifics were given, apparently the list will include several obvious franchises, as well as the return of an old favorite. Hmmmm.
When asked for comment on a pending announcement, Sega's Vice president of Corporate and Marketing Communications Charles Bellfield stated, "Sega continues negotiating with all platform companies as we announced on January 31st. We look forward to making announcements shortly, but at this point, Sega has no further information."
Microsoft's Xbox Director of Advanced Technology Seamus Blackley hinted of big things to come at Tokyo Game Show 2001Spring during his speech at this year's Game Developer's Conference, and if what we hear is true, this could be one of the biggest. Unfortunately, we were unable to unearth any specifics as to the exact titles that will be revealed, but an announcement is expected to kick off the show Friday morning in Tokyo, so be sure to check back with IGN Xbox late Thursday evening for full details.
I had sent an E-mail to this Samurai Pizza Cats website where I asked the question Who do you think is the cooler videogame mascot between Nintendo's Mario and Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog?" and her answer was Sonic the Hedgehog. I don't know if this could lead to cross-fandom support, but I'd say it would be a great idea of SPC fans and StH fans coming together for a massive fan crossover event, even if it lasted just a little while.

From Sonic The Hedgehog News!
Basically it's the same as the previous Sonic #98 spoilers, but some other information is given.
Written by Karl Bollers and Ken Penders, art by James Fry, Ron Lim and Penders.
"Blow By Blow" After returning to Knothole, Geoffrey informs Elias that Robotnik still has robotization on his mind. Sally disguises herself as a servant and manages to sneak out of Castle Acorn in order to go see Sonic, but Sonic has his hands full trying to stay incognito while he continues his quest for Arachnis and the Sword - not to mention Mina, Sally's latest rival for Sonic's affections. The intrigue never ends where Kodos, Doctor Quack, Tails, Nate, Elias and Knuckles all play a part. Plus, another Knuckles back-up story, this time guest-starring Sonic's buddy Tails.
32 pages, $1.99, arrives in stores on June 29.

Note: The information on the back-up is wrong since "Chosen One" arc ends in Sonic #97 and the back-up in Sonic #99 is going to be a story called "What Goes Around Comes Around!" which will mark the return of Julie-Su and the Dark Legion.
This just in!
TOKYO, March 16 (Reuters) - Sega Corp said that its outspoken president Isao Okawa, who recently grabbed media headlines for his 85 billion yen ($695.7 million) private donation to the struggling gamemaker, died of heart failure on Friday. He was 74 years old.
When Sega made the tough decision of ending its flagship Dreamcast game console in January, Okawa took the unprecedented step of making the donation to ease its pain.
Okawa returned his entire stakes in Sega and other group firms -- CSK Corp , Ascii Corp , and NextCom KK -- to offset some of Sega's financial burden from its January 31 decision to pull the plug on its loss-making game machine by end-March.
The gift, also involving shares in unlisted firms and convertible bonds, helped calm nervous investors about the outlook for the world's third biggest gamemaker as it faced 80 billion yen in special losses from ending Dreamcast, leading to a record 58.3 billion yen net loss in the year to March.
Okawa also was founder and honorary chairman of information services company CSK and had been active in helping Sega and software publisher Ascii expand their networking businesses.
Aw....man......this is terrible.

Sonic Team have unveiled their expansion disc for the hit (and rather excellent) game Phantasy Star Online, entitled PSO Version 2. The new version includes new enemies, characters, mags, and levels, as well as an additional difficulty setting ('Ultimate') and a versus mode where you'll compete against each other. Head over to Gaming Age to see the screens and full info.
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.
I'm back here to confirm what Disney's Adventures has revealed. Nights is in Sonic Shuffle. He flies around in the board, but Lumina still narrates. Oh well, it's a start
