Sonic HQ25 Years & Counting!

Archie has released the plot for Sonic 103, and it goes something like this, courtesy of Comics Continuum:

Written by Mike Gallagher, art by Jim Valentino, Dave Manak and Harvo.

"Freedom Fights of the Galaxy Part One." A tribute to the Guardians of the Galaxy brought to readers by the team that created them, writer Mike Gallagher and artist Jim Valentino. In an alternate future, Sonic comes back to Mobius after being in space for a thousand years to find the planet in worse shape than when he left it. Teaming up with the descendants of the original Freedom Fighters, the heroes combat an evil so great, they with the original Robotnik was back. Plus: The Return of Downunda Freedom Fighters, squaring off against the Bunyip in a tale recalling the early days of the Sonic comic series.

32 pages, $1.99, ships on Oct. 19.

No cover to accompany it, unfortunely. Story sounds intriguing, though. One always had to wonder what would happen with decendants of the originals.

But first, we wait for 100...

A popular sonic fan artist will be a penciller for the Archie Sonic comics. The person will definitely make the Sonic comic's art quality rise very much. But, the Artist's name has not been revealed to the public yet, so it's kind of a mystery. And on top of all that, you'll have to wait a while to see this mystery person's art, because the artwork will not be shown until Sonic #107. Cya till next time!

Gamespot has put up some new screenshots of Sonic Advance, and they're looking pretty nice. You can view them by clicking here.

Ever since the news headlines talked about Sonic the Hedgehog being released on DVD, Ive been so anxious for it, that I check Suncoast twice a week just see if they were in stock yet. So, fianlly, I went up to the clerk and asked if I can look at the "Upcoming Releases" Sheet. As it turns out, it will be released at the end of July or the begining of August.

I was surfing around on ebay and I saw an interesting item:
SNES Sonic The Hedgehog 4 RARE Import!!!

At first I thought it might possible be Sonic Crackers because of the 'Sonic 4' title it was given, then I saw it said SNES. (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) I knew something was up, and sure enough when I checked the link, I was right. The item was a fake.

The item the loser is selling is actually a hacked Speedy Gonzalas (SP??) ROM made by someone when hacking was a big deal in the Sonic community. The ROM must have been put on some SNES cart, and the picture of the cart was pasted together with scenes of Sonic 3 and other games. All though so far, I've been unsuccessful in locating the ROM or the owner, but if anyone has it or knows who made the ROM, let us or ebay know so we can stop this scam. If it's one thing I hate, it's people taking advantage of Sonic fans. So if you see this item on ebay:

DON'T BID ON IT! It's not real!

EB Games has Sonic Advance release date which is November 16th.

Hop on ridges, slide down rails and grab some rings...Sonic is back and he's as fast as ever! With a choice of 4 characters and link cable support for multiple players, this classic 2D platfomer takes full advantage of Nintendo's powerful new handheld.

Ok, they reviit a while ago, but Peppy just sent me this and I think I should post it. This is an EXTREMELY well-written review, definitely the best I've seen yet, and the author obviously paid attention to the details. He gives ewed SA2 a 9.4, BTW.

Someone on the IGN boards has posted pics of the rumored hidden area accessible with 180 emblems. Words can not describe how sweet this is. ^_^ Click the link to see them.

Supposedly, if you get all 180 emblems in SA2, a secret area opens up, loaded with cool extras. Also, according to this rumor, there IS a point to all the hidden Bigs in the game. This area sounds too good to be true, but after the other stuff that's been revealed about SA2, it wouldn't really surprise me too much if it was in there. If it is, then kudos to Sonic Team for putting something like this intro the game for the 10th anniversary. This is a mild spoiler, since you may want to be surprised by what you get when you get 180 emblems, so it's listed in a link.
