  • It doesn?t matter for Germany

    Even the SatAM- Series was called "Sonic der irre Igel" in Germany. First there were the AoSth Episodes, and then the SatAM Episodes. With the cancellation of "Sonic der irre Igel", the SatAM Series will not be shown.

    Australian Dreamcast pricedrop upon the world!

    From The Official Australian & New Zealand Dreamcast Website

    Back when the GST kicked in, the majority of the country groaned a little, but those wandering outside to go pick themselves up a new Dreamcast were all set to pay $50 less than they previously would have. To help a greater range of people enjoy the wonders of Sega's 128-bit console, Ozisoft have slashed the price of the Dreamcast hardware dramatically to a highly affordable $299.

    Factoring in currency exchange, the Dreamcast is now cheaper in Australia than any other territory in the world, which is great news for those whose piggy banks haven't been quite fat enough to invest in Sega's powerhouse console. The new price of $299 includes GST.

    Sales Director for OziSoft, Danny Gambaro, said, "At $299, Dreamcast is a true mass market consumer product. Our offering at $299 is giving consumers the most sophisticated games console and access to one of the fastest growing entertainment and information resources the world - the Internet."

    Stephen O'Leary, Dreamcast's communications manager, said "Dreamcast is the first console to be released with a modem as standard, providing millions of Australians with the ability to access the Internet and Email at a fraction of the price of a home computer. Together with its incredible library of existing and upcoming software titles from SEGA and its many 3rd party developers, the Dreamcast has firmly established itself as the next-generation entertainment and Internet (TV) set top box."

    The announcement is official as of today, but the price drop will not be effective till Thursday 24th of August.

    So, finally the good ol' Ozisoft get their tuckus in gear (since the Australian DC has been porr since the launch) but riddle me this, if this is to happen to us Australians, what about the rest of the world? Could this mean Captain Pricedrop is ready to bombard the US and UK in hope to out wit the black doorstop with only 2 controller ports? We Shall see :P

    Megaman X-Treme for the Gameboy

    Megaman X-treme (hopefully a *new* X game) is scheduled to be released October 2000! I don't have any information on it, though. I'm hoping it's not just X1 or something on the Gameboy.

    I might have some more information soon!

    Megaman X-Treme looks like kind of a mix of X1 through 3. IGN.com says it has "new allies and enemies". Check it out here

    The Time is Now

    This isn't much of a news report so if Sonic HQ wants to delete this, they can. Anyway, i read that SatAM article below and also know in a few other contries SatAM has been airing or begun to air. With Sonic Underground in the gutter most everywhere, we must ask for SatAM to return now. We shouldn't ask DiC, we should ask Nickeoldeon, Cartoon Network and even Disney to air the series. Here are some of the addresses we can write to, and don't forget BE POLITE IN YOUR LETTERS! Nothing is more powerful then the power of a written out letter (NOT EMAIL) but, no one wants to read some letter from a smart mouth brat saying they're gonna kill DiC. Here we go:

    SatAM Sonic returns to Germany!

    Firstly, a BIG thank you to Chuckie Chipmunk, AKA Toni the Mink, for this great piece of news!

    This is what she said on the Mobius Forum:

    That's right, German Sonic fans. Starting in September,the SatAM series will return. The post I found this from was all in German, but I have a (rather lousy) translator. Here's the post in English:

    "The Sonic SATAm series comes into German remotelongs! For those, which missed it on cable 1: The rather stupid series nevertheless momentary l=E?f = t rtl II. keep from noble Sonic series of fans; the SATAm series will follow! Presumably at the beginning of Septembers."
