    Hello, friends. Since I was the one that conducted the "Sweeps" data, I have more information inside. Plus, a new low in journalism for Daily Radar, and Sega of Europe confirms SA3 development.

    We’re Number 1! We’re Number 1!

    The results are in, and Sonic HQ is the most popular sonic site, according to TSSZ. Numbers for Team Artail were unavailable, but Tristan suspected they were third, with about 22,518 hits. tSf, previously the Sonic site to hold the raitings crown, dropped to 3rd with 17,813 hits.

    For more information check out TSSZ's story.

    Sonic on Malcolm in the Middle

    I just watched Malcolm in the Middle today and I noticed that at the beginning, Malcolm and that kid in the wheelchair were playing Sonic R. Kinda weird to see a 2 year old game on a new tv show, eh?

    Sierra Ranay Away For A While (SU.net)

    Shayne "Seirra" Ranay (known as Manic to some) will be away from SU.net and the net for a while having her wisdom teeth removed. Her surgery begins on Monday and she asked me to post this for her.

    She's very worried and asks for everyones prayers to help her get over her fear. :) Stay well Sierra!

    New Other-M Issue

    Sonic Christmas Calendar

    I always wondered why no one ever thought of making a Sonic christmas calendar and put it on the net before.... so I decided I'd make it myself! So, thanks to friends who came with ideas, plus my stubborness, here it is. Starting December the first.

    Secret Sonic Shuffle characters!

    The four secret characters in Sonic Shuffle have been revealed. They are:
    Super Sonic!
    A chao (Yup, a playable chao! Wow)
    Big the Cat (drat)
    E-102 Gamma (what?! Didnt that robot,erm, die?)

    Seems reminiscent of that wonderful game Sonic Adventure. The two new characters. A Chao.

    Sonic on Nintendo? ODCM says nope!

    I just recived ODCM issue no. 10 today, and right in the letter of the month box was a letter I sent them a few weeks ago. I had asked if Sonic Team would be developing for other systems, and here's they're answer:

    Hey Chris, there seems to be a lot of confusion regarding what will happen to Sega since it's formerly internal development teams were split off into independant companies. For now, all of these teams are now only involved with making games for Dreamcast, NAOMI and NAOMI 2 arcade boards (as well as the occasional PC and handheld port). There have been rampant rumors about some of them taking their acts to to other platforms, but Sega has remained very firm in its proclimations that this is untrue.

    We here at ODCM have heard it all (both the rumors and the denials) and we doubt that any of the theams will be developing for other systems under the Sega brand for a long, long time. On a side note, we've also heard through the grapevine that this rumor often strikes fear into the hearts of third party publishers who release games on competing systems, simply becuase Sega is such a revered game developer in Japan! No third party wants to compete with games like Jet Grind Radio and Shenmue. But for now, it looks like they have nothing to worry about: Sonc Team et al are still Sega acolytes. So relax Chris- Dreamcast is still the only place to see next-generation Sonic.

    Next to the letter was a picture of Sonic and a PS2 with Sonic laughing out loud.

    So it seems like we have nothing to worry about, at least with the Sonic Team. I'll try to keep you updated with any new info about this subject-and so will everyone else :-).
