Sonic Team are all set to release Phantasy Star Online on December 21st in Japan, and to celebrate the big occasion, the Sonic gurus are to hold a thank you party in Osaka Japan on the 16th.

So what does this party involve? A heck of a lot frankly. There will be a Q&A section, where Joe Public can put questions towards the team; a PSO Panel Discussion, featuring the game's producer, Yuji Naka, and development team members; a PSO game demonstration, where Sonic Team members will play the game, demonstrating how it works; a scramble for Sonic Team goodies, including old past times such as rock, paper, scissors and quiz questions; a history corner, looking back at earlier Sonic Team games; and much more Sonic Team madness! ^__^

There's no need to reserve a place at the party, you can just drop by on the 16th between 13:00 and 17:00, if you live anywhere near Osaka that is (Why can't we get anything like this in America?). For us Westerners, there's two options. A) Move to Japan especially or B) Hold your own Sonic Team Thank you Party, drown your sorrows in Sonic Shuffle, anime, and Kool-Aid and invite all your friends! :D

Hey there folks! When I was on the Official UK Dreamcast Magazine's website, well to be more exact, the online chat, a person claimed he new further details on SA 2, when people questioned him, he said that Tails would indeed play one of the biggest roles in the game. It appears that this person believes he knows who created Dark Sonic, when questioned by chatters, he said Tails created Dark Sonic!

Could this be yet another Nails the Bat rumor, or something more? Well time will only tell, to be infact, we will see whether or not this guy was an imposter on February 2nd 2001, the scheduled release date for Sonic Adventure 2. More information on the release date go to: www.express.com and search 'Sonic'.

Remember folks, there are an awful lot of rumors and theories going around about SA2, so don't take any particular one toooooooooo....serious^_^

IGN got their paws on a demo of Sonic Adventure 2 and told us their first impressions of the game. You can read the article here. Also, it seems that we may be able to play the demo!! Here's what they said:

.....There will be two things immediately noticeable when you lucky readers have the oppurtunity to play the demo version of Sonic Adventure 2 this month......

I may be reading it wrong, but it sounds like we'll be getting a demo of the game with the January ODCM, on sale December 26th! Keep checking IGNDC for more info.

Well, we've seen no pics of him so far and the big question is, IS TAILS IN SA2??? The answer is

No one knows!

The official Dreamcast magizine in the UK stated:

In a recent interview with Yuji Naka, the guy who created Sonic, Official Dreamcast Magazine were asking questions about Phantasy Star Online and the new Sonic Adventure 2 game coming out early in 2001. When asked if Tails was going to be in Sonic Adventure 2, Naka replied that no he wasn't. When they then asked if Tails the Fox would make a comeback he said he couldn't say anymore which suggests that Tails may come back seeing as most developers say things like, 'Sorry but we have finally scrapped this.' I hope this will end months of specualation of Tails being in SA2.

And Sagesages said this as well:

In the Preview Yuji Naka it is made clear that Only Sonic, Knuckles and Dr. Robotnik are the surviving members of the original cast and he points out that the Dark Hedgehog plays a big role in the story. What ever the Dark Hedgehog is it will be big as even Yuji Naka refuses to talk about it.

That should end speculation right there, two sources said Yuji Naka himself said no Tails, but WAIT! There's more. Gamespot got their hands on a preview and had this to say:

Sega first showed us a brand-new trailer for the game that showcased Sonic Adventure 2's enhanced graphics and hinted at the storyline. From what we could tell, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are the primary heroes in this game, and their quest involves both Dr. Robotnik and a brand-new character. Though the trailer wouldn't show the character in full view, it did show several close-ups of his face, enough to allow us to make an educated guess about his identity...

So, the answer to this question still remains unanswered after all this time. Hopefully the real answer will be revealed soon...

Sonic SatAM will pass in Brazil December 11. After so much time again will pass a cartoon of Sonic in Brazil!

I've updated the news posting rules, and if we have any more site ads and rebuttals, I'll add a post screening feature on here. I'll probably do it anyway, actually, when I write the new version. I'm too busy to write the new version right now, but I'll be working on it, as well as the directory and fan art, next week.

I Got The Latest DC-UK Dreamcast Magazine And Found Something Out. Sonic Shuffle AND Sonic Adventure 2 Are Gonna Be Out In The UK This Month. They Also Said Something About Japanese Sonic Merchandise Coming Out In The UK. It Said Is Gonna Be Hard To Find And Expensive.
