Sammy has finally done it.
Sega revealed today a reshuffling of its upper management that includes a few ousted directors and a brand new chairman. Taking the role of chairman and representative director of the company as of Feburary 17 is Hideki Satomi, president of Sammy. Current chairman Hideki Sato will now hold the position of vice chairman and director. Hisao Oguchi remains the president and representative director.
Hideki Satomi founded Sammy in 1975 and became its CEO in 1980. Following Sammy's purchase of 22.4% of Sega from CSK in December of 2003, Sammy became the largest shareholder in the company, with Satomi becoming a special advisor.
In addition to Satomi's appointment, a couple of changes were made to the Sega board. Two board directors, Masahiro Aozono and Makoto Kaneshiro, both connected with the CSK side of Sega's investment partners, resigned as of February 16. Meanwhile, Sammy's Yoshiharu Suzuki became a board director.
What does this mean for Sega's fortunes in the game business? We'll have to wait and see.

I bet you all think I'm here to post some SatAM news, well I'm NOT! Actually, I'm here to talk about a Sonic game pretty much unknown to the Sonic fandom until PACHUKA of Sonic Cult and his 1337 hacking crew discovered it. As he says below:
We're also very proud to be the first site to bring you the long lost game: Sonic Eraser. Sonic Eraser is the 2nd ever Sonic game no one knew exsisted. It was brought to my attention by our friend Sparkster. Sega put their old Sega Modem games up on their emulator service. (Japan only) So, in the late hours, with my money, Ryoga's knowledge of Japanese, and the hacking skills of Nemesis, we managed to bust open Sega's program and extract the ROM. So we proudly present: Sonic Eraser!
The game is a puzzle game similar to Tetris, each piece that falls is made up of several symbols that you have to line up to get combos... and... well, it's hard to explain, but it can be found at Sonic Cult, along with pictures and information on the game. Also some of you may have notice that the CulT has been down recently, remodeling, well it's finished! So be sure to check it all out.

Sonic Advance 3 Features:
"Drood Henge" is on Ebay with a starting price of $500.00. Bidding ends on February 20 at 11:08pm Eastern Time (or 8:08pm Pacific Time).
As with the others, slight wrinkle marks on the cover from the paper clip - otherwise in excellent condition. Starts on page 12 - due to script cut from earlier drafts because of time. Signed on cover page, page 50 & page 100 by Pat Allee & Ben Hurst.
ADV films recently re-released Sonic The Movie on DVD (probably to coincide with the release of Heroes). With the release, they also gave the packaging graphics an overhaul with a simpler, cleaner look.
