Planet Gamecube is reporting it as well, and they don't normally report rumors as truth(can't speak for SSNG or Gaming Age cuz I never been to either). PGC also has a link to the press release on Sega's website, althoug its in Japanese, so for all I know it's the CEO's lunch menu.

sega.jp/release/nr020701_1.html

This is great news, except there's no mention currently of a US release. I pray that there is just because I never owned a dreamcast and I've always wanted to play Sonic Adventure. Sonic Mega Collection sounds good, and I hope Sonic Advance 2 improves on the previous version. While Sonic Adventure and mega Collection may not reach the states, I have no doubts that Sonic Advance 2 will.

Well...this news has been already posted here in South Island:pub12.ezboard.com/fsonichqcommunityfrm10.showMessage?topicID=2353.topic

And I'm not going to get all excited 'til we hear the full deal on July 13-14.

I learned about that. That is so STUPID. Sonic Adventure 1?!?! AGAIN!? C'mon!!! Jesus! Sonic Adventure 1, Phantasy Star Online 1, Sonic Adventure 2, Phantasy Star Online v.2, Sonic Adventure 2, Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2, Sonic Adventure 1... what is this?! Sonic Team has forgotten how to count past 2!!! I've been getting more and more disappointed with the way Sonic Team's been pulling out their stuff. The most disappointing was PSO 1&2 and it's "needed changes" or whatever the bullcrap they did to it.

I can understand the re-make of SA2 to the GameCube, just to get the Nintendo fans who missed it something new to play and to get into Sonic. BUT, you don't then pull out THE OLD Sonic Adventure, to not only make it go backwards and give true Sonic fans a LONGER WAIT for something new, but just to again give the Nintendo-only fans another shot to understand what came before SA2 because they were to cheap to buy a $50 Dreamcast? BAH! They've either become lazy bastards or just ran out of ideas.

The Sonic Mega Poopoo Pack I could give two flying F's about. I was never into those "repack classic" things Sega always does. Except the S&K Collection, because I had just gotten rid of my Genesis and all its games. Blah.

*Rant rant rant, no one cares...*

I know what you mean Jin. It's REALLY *ING ANNOYING to buy a system only to see a *load of ports from the existing system you already had. And I don't know about you but I could give less of a care about anythign PSO-related... *Goes into long long rant about how it ISN'T Phantasy Star, just a slap-on of the PS title to make money off the fans, etc. etc. etc.*

Uh, anyways, I personally think that it's kinda a waste of time on Sonic Tam's Part. I'm waiting for this "big announcement." I'm kinda hoping for a true Sonic the Hedgehog RPG ala Mario RPG or one of the ORIGINAL Phantasy Star games. Only in full 3D of course 😛

Actually Jin, I have to agree with you. I honestly am disgusted that Sonic Team can't be arsed to programme a new game, instead, they drag out a nearly 4 YEAR OLD game, stick a few extras one and expect me to part with 50 for the pleasure of playing it.
I think not.
Sonic Team must be scrapping the bottom of the barrel now, or they are going for "Most Bloody Annoying Developer" award.
And that Sonic Pack... Sonic Team, you disgust me.

Permit me please to smack you all across the faces.

First off, calm down. Jeez, it's not that big a deal. Second, how do you not know new Sonic games AREN'T being developed? Most likely one is.

And lastly? PSO rocked. Say what the hell you want, that game kicked ass.

wah-wah-waaaahhh.

Well, I wish they'd release SA and SA2 together, since I played SA (rented it), and it kinda lost my interest. How shall they do the VMU stuff? Use the GBA? New feature? I dunno. I really wanted to play SA2.
BTW, the 50$ dreamcast is 80$ here in Canada, you can't find any bloody anywhere, and I don't have another 120$ to blow on a Dreamcast with SA and SA2.
Sonic Advance sucked IMHO, too short and boring..
Sonic Mega pack, what the hell is that, going to take all of the genesis games and rehash them again? Gag me. If course it would be cool if they added Knuckles Chaotix to it, and maybe all of the Game Gear games since the Game Gear was an expensive piece of @#%$ that broke after 2 months and ate 6 batteries in like 30 seconds.
So yeah, I'll keep an eye on it..At least they're adding some new games to the GC.

Next thing you know, they'll port that over as well.. o.o along with Sonic Shuffle 2 just to keep the pattern along with 1s and 2s.

Uhh... What do you have against Sonic Adventure? Why are you upset that they're porting it? oo;;

Jinsoku: Yes I am too cheap to buy a $50 dreamcast for one game.

Everyone relax, every article I've read so far says that this is not the new game that will be announced later in July!

Great title, great series.

However... it's four years old, man. I want something new.

Joey - Yes, there is a new Sonic game in development. It's called Sonic Advance 2. Yes, something new. However, I want a nice big 3D game with a nice big story (or some kind of a story anyway) because that's what I'm in the mood for. And I'm sure I speak for other Sonic fans as well. (Not the majority. I never said anything like that. Just other fans. Period). Sonic Team's starting to recycle, and it's really bugging me. PSO v2 was nothing but PSO v1 with new pretty textures, soccer mode, battle, and FOrces were like 10 times powerful in their magic department, of course, with reason. If I want soccer, I'll play FIFA games. If I want battle, I'll buy a game that's solely based on it, not a 3D Action/RPG game that has battle mode as a side game. If I want a "version 2", I damn well hope it has new levels for it. Guess what, v2 didn't.

I agree, Phantasy Star Online kicked ass. And it still does. However, so many people have vanished to the world of v2 and the people only on v1 now are people who don't have a clue and get bored with it, that there's no one to play with now. And Episode 1 & 2 for GameCube has VERY unnecessary changes. 'Scuse me, but I do NOT want to be forced to become a FOrce just so I can use Shifta and Deband and all the other necessary magic techs. I was planning on buying it for sure. It has like 10 maps now, (awesome), same graphics, (yep, no diff. from Dreamcast, except the HUD, and probably less frame drops), but the changes to it when it comes character wise are awful. Just awful. I think I might still give it a go, but for now I'm just very turned off by that.

But yeah, Sonic Team is scraping out the recycling bin and adding glitter to its contents. That's no fun. They're probably going to make an enhanced useless Chao system and if you get all emblems you get Emerald Hill Zone

Which is another thing that pissed me off about SA2. I was going through all the main levels to get all 180 emblems, until I found out that Chao crap races give you emblems, too. I hate those things. They don't interest me. Yet I want my perfect score. Damn you to hell Sonic Team, damn you. Well, not completely. Just a bit. But still damn you.

hhmm...while i look forward to sonic advance two,it brings up something somebody earlier said.

"how are they gonna do the chao thing?the GBA?"

well,sonic adventure 1.why use sonic advance 2 with the original?thats stupid.

1 goes with 2,2 goes with 1.

makes no sense,i tell you...and whats the point of the mega collection?the only advantage i can think of off the top of my head is better load times for sonic CD.

And if they are going to do a new game,i agree with Jinsoku(sorry if i spelled it wrong)I want some actual 3d Good looking Graphics and a storyline.

Ya know,if they ran out of ideas,I'd rather they went to the fans and asked for ideas,rather than be stupid.

And now,i bid you farewell,for my sig is calling.

GameSpot clarifies

"According to a representative from Sega of America, the game will be a brand-new addition to the franchise instead of a remake of the original Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, as was first suspected. In addition, Sega is also developing Sonic Mega Collection for the GameCube and Sonic Advance 2 for the Game Boy Advance."

Turns out it was a translation error. It wasn't "Sonic Adventure 1" it was "a Sonic Adventure game." We're getting a new 3D game, a new side-scroller and a retro collection pack (which will doubtless have everything Sonic Jam did and a whole bunch more). Now don't you feel bad for bad-mouthing Sonic Team? Go give your Gamecube a hug

Cuz they're still recycling with PSO. So nyah.

But yay new Sonic game ^____^

And that's why I was waiting before I approved ANY of the original stories sent to the news page. I was waiting for Gamespot, because I don't trust ppl using online translators to translate. ^_~

Thanks, Virus!

I guesss I will need to shell out 50 bucks for a dreamcast. Booo

But new Sonic game... YAYAYAYAYAYAYA

Wait for Sonic V1 to be rehashed for gamecube...

I mean, I'm most excited for the new Sonic game, but just the thought of a Sonic compilation makes me feel all fuzzy and warm inside. Either that or my heater is set on turbo. Anyway, I can't complain... Three new sonic games!! *starts giggling with excitement like a little school girl*

Sonic VI is a pirate game. You'll never see it again. Accept it.
