I have just gotten off the phone with my friend, who works with the Sonic team. This person, who shall remain annoymous (at his request of course) has informed me that the Sonic Team is going to develop Phantasy Star Online for Gamecube! This confirms that the Sonic Team IS developing for other consoles, and the Gamecube will have it's own online network!

My friend has also informed me that Sonic Adventure has not been pushed back to the fall, but rather has been pushed ahead to January 30th, 2001! Expect an article about this on IGN DC when it opens back up after the new year.

Click here to see the cover.

And here we are, the link above to the cover, and below, the plot, as describes by Worlds of Westfield.

Enemy Mine. A trip to Robotropolis to rescue the roboticized Overlanders baffles Sonic and Bunnie, as many of the Overlanders haven't even been roboticized.

There you go. Enjoy, folks.

Anyone else wondering why these spoilers are so dang early? Didn't Sonic #95's spoilers JUST come out? I like it when things are ahead of schedule, but the spoilers are here at Sonic-speed! Or is that Mina-speed? Anyway, at this rate, #97's spoilers will be here in... oh... 5 days, 6 hours, and 22 minutes. I'll be waitin'!!!

I FINALLY BEAT WB TO THE SPOILERS! CHEER ME, DOUBLE?CROSS! HAHAHAHA!!! :?



Sonic the Hedgehog #96

"The Messenger." The answers to many questions are revealed - and a few new ones are raised. Has his Majesty's Secret Service learned of Sonic's heroic, secret trip to Robotropolis? Will Princess Sally and Sonic finally see each other again? Has Dr. Robotnik finally figured out a way to get back into Knothole Village?

32 pages, $1.99, ships on April 6.

The Spaz cover looks odd to me... mostly because I can't tell what's happening. Sonic and Mina are being chased by one of those SatAM-ish hoverpods, and... are riding some kind of hoverbike? I dunno! That's what it looks like! Or some big robot in front of them? Curse my 20/30 vision!!! I'll wait for it to be colored...

And what's this... "Has Dr. Robotnik finally figured out a way to get back into Knothole Village?"??? He finally got into Knothole? Cool. ^^

This will be another issue that Fry and Lim will pencil. Fry's work, IMO, is excellent, but Ron Lim, as quoted by someone I know, "is the devil." We'll see how it comes out, though. Ken Penders also writes and inks the Knuckles story, which is missing spoilers again. Well, at least it ain't Ron Lim. :)

This also marks another issue where Sonic and Mina star on the cover together. The question "Where's Sally?" has been on the minds of many fans, and it's on mine, too. Since Mina is scheduled to become Sonic's new "love interest", who knows where Sally'll be??? Probably going for Mina's throat...

The events leading up to Sonic #100 are proving to be more interesting with every bit of new information. I wonder what they've got planned for it. ^_^

That's all for now.

While maybe not earth-shattering news, small Sonic-themed figurines can be bought as you play the new marvel game from Sega: Shenmu. While it really does nothing to the advance the game, it's fun to see the 3-D Furs. So far, all but two characters from Sonic the Figthers have been found (the two missing being Metal and Super Sonic) by me. Another note of intrest is that they are by their Japanese names (i.e. Nack is called Fang and Dr. Robotnik called Eggman).

Happy Holidays, friends--whatever you may be celebrating this time of year. It's been a long time since I've actually written news for Sonic HQ, and I send out my apologies for that. But, enough of that, let's get to what you really want--news! I bring in my big red stocking today more sales information for PSO, Saddam Hussein Stockpiling PS2s, and Sonic Team Junior's Holiday gifts to their fans.

I'm not really sure if this is true or not, but I heard a rumor about a new Sonic cartoon. They say it is called "Sonic Kids". I'm gonna look into it a bit.

If you know more about it I'll post something at the Mobuis forum if I ever find anything about it.

PSO is no.3
IGNDC's daily Jap. top 10 has PSO listed as number 3 for December 22nd. At number 2 is another DC game called "Let's Make a J-Leage Soccer Club Expansion", which was also released on December 21st.
