Sonic HQ25 Years & Counting!

Thanks to Big Smile of the GHZ Newsboard for pointing this interview out.

In 2003, Sega's hyperactive mascot was nearly as overexposed as Bennifer: Sonic starred in two GBA games, milked his back catalog with a GameCube rerelease of Sonic Adventure, headlined a hit cartoon on the Fox network, and even hawked McNuggets to tykes via a successful Happy Meal promotion. All that hoopla, however, paled in comparison to this January's triple-console launch of Sonic Heroes -- an all-new 3D platformer, and his first on both the Xbox and PlayStation 2.

We spoke with Sonic Heroes director Takashi Iizuka (who's headed up nearly every Sonic game since Sonic 3 on the Genesis) about the hog's latest title.

The Sonic Heroes Spoilers listed here in the news is false, in a sense here's the real spoilers.

You can pre-order the Official Sonic X Animation Soundtrack at Yesasia.com now.

I highly recommend this site because it has a lot of Asian imports (hench the site's name-Yesasia) at very affordable prices (most imports i've noticed online are at least $45-50 at a minimum price), and because the shipping is very speedy, usually within 1-2 days if in stock.

Better to pre-order now than have it sold out later. =P
