Shadow working for GUN? Kinda saw that coming.....just kinda....
Probably just to keep an eye on the easily corruptable GUN commanders.
And the Wii 250 thing...yeah, I see what you mean. I heard (live) that they promised it would be no more then $250. But then again, big companies tend to change thheir word a lot.
Or maybe $250 is just an average.
Wii @ $250 == Suggested Manufacturer Retail Price.
Your favorite shop != $250.

So Shadow works for the man now??
Yeah, it seems Shadow has decided to start taking orders. Working for GUN is a very strange direction that Sega's taking him in, I wonder why he's working for them?
Oh, and did anyone else think that the music in the trailer sounded like a mix of the Pirates of the Carribean and Spiderman movies?
Better relationship?
Forgiveness?
Shadow has a hidden agenda (besides rescuing Rogue)?
We shall find out when the next batch of news/articles/updates Sega decides to send us.
Speculation:
Who in this forum thinks that Shadow becomes Mephiles due to something in the story/plothole/etc.?
Who in this forum thinks that Silver becomes Mephiles?
Who in this forum thinks that Mephiles is not another character but a state one of the three hedgies will be on?
The actual post that shadonic speaks of - language warning.
Shadow is now working as an agent for the government, a la James Bond, complete with witty lines and charming British accent.
I'm torn...I both want him to be joking and want it to be a reality so I can bathe in it.
Oh, and remember, he's not necessarily working under GUN specifically{this sentance sounds mentally hilarious}.
I actually think that Mephiles will take the form of whoever he fights so if he fights Sonic he will look more like Sonic. He looks too much like Shadow. Unless he is Shadow from the future.
Does this mean Vector will get his New Yoiker accent back? And Rouge becomes french? Knuckles, Jamacian?

If Shadow decides to help people as a whole and wants to ensure GUN doesn't pull anymore massive screwups, what better way to do it than be part of the organization itself?
Hmmmm....Shadow working for GUN....GUN got what it wanted (Shadow), so they won't hurt anyone anymore, like 50 years before.
Besides, what better way to protect the planet then work for the Guardian Unit of Nations?
....Aside from following Sonic?
Hahahah that trailer rocks. I loved it. Has some humor as well. Way to go Sega. And as for all this stuff about Rush's ending promise coming true and Shadow working for G.U.N. I give Sega two thumbs up. Shadow obviously has changed. And Dreamer I believe Mephiles is Shadow from the future. =)
Mephiles is Shadow from the future? Maybe. But if so, the chest fur is a dead givaway.
Sonic's the only one who shaves.
God that must suck.
Silver seems to resemble Sonic and Shadow....could he finally be the result of the mysterious Nazo?....Most likely not. I'm just spit balling. 
I got this hunch...a HUNCH...that Mephiles has some kind of future altering plan for the past as well. He wants to get Sonic to do Iblis Trigger thing, or he wants to alter the future so Shadow is something or other. I don't know. There is one sure-fire way to know the answer: play the game when it comes out. .

We don't know that yet. That's the stated (and likely) maximum, but it could easily be lower.
"Sonic's the only one who shaves."
No. No. No! No! NO!
Y'see that peach circle on his chest? See it? That's FUR. He does'nt have a bare chest, he does'nt shave it.
It looks like skin to me. It's the same color as Rouge's skin.

Or maybe Mephiles just possed one of the Shadow Androids and that why he looks like Shadow 
.
Edit- Actually PC, that just Wave Ocean with parts from Emerald Coast.
Well, it's a part of a classic level, so thus it can still be considered a classic level screenshot.
Anyway, I wonder just how toned down a Wii port of StH would be. I can't say I wouldn't mind losing out on the gorgeous graphics instead of buying a 360 solely for the game (or selling my soul for a PS3). I just wanna play it!
And Shadow androids are thus copies of Shadow. Omega did state something like that in Heroes.
Or maybe there's much more to Mephiles then the fact he looks like Shadow?....Who the hell am I kidding? Of course there is!!
The big mystery is whether or not that's actually fur or what on Sonic. It doesn't look like it's fur, otherwise they'd let us know on the highly detailed screenshots.
Or maybe it is just shaved down to a point that it's too small to deter. XP.
"I just wanna play it!"
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! LOOK AT THAT CROWD OF PEOPLE OVER THERE!!! THAT'S LIKE 10 MILLION!! IF NOT MORE!! (and I'm one of them)And that's the whole idea.

Ugh, it's not something that needs to be dwelled on. Move along.
Hey, it's up there with "Why do Sonic characters always wear gloves, even when barefoot?", "Why do Sonic characters have no toes?", and "Why doesn't Dr. Light warp Mega Man directly to the Robot Master's chamber instead of so far away?"
The gloves are a social more for funny cartoon animals.
Their toes are covered in their fur clumps.
Dr. Light has a lousy sense of direction and aim.
😉
Now the only real question left is exactly why Triangle Man hates Particle Man.
Ahyway, whatever Mephiles is, I just hope he's the last mysterious new character we hear about for this game.
The site works now! Well it should do. Apparently the song has been replaced by an instrumental version. I cant hear it though.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 Site
Replaced with an instrumental version?
I wonder if someone sent an e-mail complaining about the lyrics or something, many people seemed to dislike them after all. xD
Edit: Is it me or is the volume of the BGM very low compared to the sound effects of the site? I put my laptop's volume at maximum and it still is low. >>
Someone manage to translate what it says under the profiles. Apparently it about the special moves the characters have: Sonic's Custom Action, Shadow's Gadget Action and Silver's ESP Action. From the looks of it Sonic will probably be grab enemies or use the spin dash, Shadow may use either guns or devices(a la Ratchet and Clank)to move across levels and Silver will probably turn invisible or burn people using pyrokinesis. Man, this game keep gettin better and better.
I just wonder how wise it is to have english lyriced song on a Japanese site.
Shadow, Gadget Action? Interesting. I wonder if this means Guns and Lasers with cars or maybe more Zelda/Sonic Adevnture like way with Air Boosters etc maybe even an inventory system.
Poor Kitty, Silver has stolen your only skill. Maybe.

All of the theme songs have been in English anyway, so I doubt that is an issue.
Geez the music makes this game sound epic. I think it'll come out pretty good though. I'm gonna try not to get too pumped for this. Although with Blaze in it i'm really excited. I can't wait for Sonic Central's site to catch up and put up the stories, characters, etc.

You're right. In order to not be pissed if this game sucks, and in order to be absolutely blown away if it actually is worth the wait, we need to have VERY low expectations for this game!
So, I'll start off by saying this game is going to suck because it has Shadow in it, and the cameras are going to blow and ruin EVERYTHING. 
>_< Not exactly the type of low expectations I was talking about.
I heard the controls are still not that good.
Not sure if this was mentioned, but check the main site. It appears that they removed the lyrical version of the song.
Maybe they're really digging into the fan's thoughts for this game ... or maybe they think it was too early to show up in the first place.
It was mentioned on the last page.
General rule of thumb - if you're not sure, check.
Thanks for the info anyway, though.

Yeeah, I apologize for that. I should've knew better -- but anyways, the song isn't that bad.
I personally think it'd be more fit for a women to be singing the main part of it. That's what I imagined before the guy went off with the "his wooorld" part.
Found this at Sonic Stadium. It an english version of the site

Interesting stuff:
-According to Sonic Story Elise ask Sonic to find the Iblis Trigger, which mean is not a person but an object of somekind.
-Mephiles hates Shadow for some reason and want to destroy him.
-Elise is 17 years old.
The Crisis City's short description thingy says that the big lava beast is indeed Iblis.
Btw, Elise's profile description looks messed up.
It in engrish, so yeah it somewhat messed up.
I still say Mephiles is Shadow and he wants to end his pain by destrying himself in the past. =D
Elise is 17?! She looks younger.
*Looking at the profile*...17? Must have a shortness disorder like I do....24% less, that sucks.
But that might change in the final version.....hopefully not, cuz if so, how's Sonic gonna carry her?
I'm with ya TTG. Indeed he is. 😛
The site was fan-translated. Hence the weirdness. Should be accurate, though.

WTF? There using celebrities now? That was unexpected. On the positive side Lacey Charbert is hot and does have experience in voice acting (she was original Meg in Family Guy).
Lacy Charbert is an interesting choice...her voice is awfully high-pitched, but she sounds really good in the trailers (if that is actually her voice and not some temporary one just for the trailer). I think she'll do a decent job.
I think the voice in the trailer is Veronica Taylor, the 4Kids voice actor who's best known for Ash ketchum. -_- But she was probably just used as a temp voice.
Quite a good choice for Elise. Funnily enough, I had a crush on Lacey Chabert when I was 11 and she was on Party of Five. And if there's some kind of romantic interest between Sonic and Elise, and Amy and Blaze are in the game too, then this could turn into an issue of the Archie Sonic comic.
One part of the interview bugs me:
GameSpy: Besides Sonic, you have a ton of movies coming up. Of all the things you're working on, which did you think will appeal most to Sonic fans and why?
Chabert: Probably Black Christmas, which is out in December, because it's a horror film. I also just finished another movie called The Lost, but that's a dramatic, psychological thriller. I don't think that would necessarily appeal to videogame players.
I'm insulted. Is she making some kind of generalization as to the mental abilities of video gamers? >='( I hope she hasn't been watching these silly "video game shows" that pop up on Google Video and YouTube, because then that'd make sense.
I could'nt give a flying karp what she thinks of us videogame players, she's just a celebrity. Nothing important.
Wasn't there something about Elijah Wood and Gary Oldman being cast as VAs for this game? Or it's possible I'm thinking of something else entirely.
Actually Matt your thinking of new Spyro the Dragon where Elijah Wood voices Spyro.
Ugh, I also had a huge crush on her when I was younger, Spite. I even recorded "When Secrets Kill" and and the freakin' Lost In Space movie because of her. But then she grew up and wasn't as cute anymore. Still, the shame.
And mmm, stereotyping. I'm glad we got an insight on how things work with the VAs over at Sonic Team, though. I'm very glad that we're not getting that wishy-washy 4Kids Elise. We'll get some form of personality and life from her now.
DAT IS SOOOOOO KUYTE!!!
He is a wittle fuzzball. Source Plz. Unless it was a l33t haxxor.
