Sonic Goes Next-Gen
By: Mike Grzan

Sega recently announced that their all new sonic title is currently under development for the NextGen consoles. Sega hopes to thrill new comers to the series as well as please the long time fans with this new Sonic title.

Sonic The Hedgehog for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will be developed under the direction of Yuji Naka, award-winning developer known for creating the hugely successful SEGA franchise. With a creative combination of art, physics and game design, Sega and Mr. Naka can be expected to create a outstanding sense of speed ever found in a game. Sonic the Headgehog is expected to ship in conjunction with the character's 15th anniversary in 2006.

"Sonic The Hedgehog represents the most recognizable example of classic SEGA properties that we will recreate for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360," said Naoya Tsurumi, CEO of SEGA of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. "When Sonic The Hedgehog debuted on the SEGA Genesis in 1991, he reinvented the action-platform genre with speed and attitude. By harnessing the power of these new platforms, we are confident that Sonic will once again raise the bar for action gaming in 2006 and beyond."

"We are proud to re-create our famous friend, Sonic, for a new generation of gamers on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360," said Yuji Naka, R&D Creative Officer, SEGA Corporation. "With Sonic The Hedgehog, we have gone back to our starting point, more than 15-years ago, to reinvent the attitude and speed that made our hero a legend. The 'rebirth of Sonic' will offer an unparalleled sense of speed that is only possible using the processing power afforded by the new systems."

Sonic has made a impact on many consoles over the years, appearing in over 30 games that have sold more than 38 million units of software. One of the top-selling franchises in the gaming industry, Sonic The Hedgehog continues to be a popular icon in the world of gaming.

Sega has decided not to announce product, or release date information at this time. GamerNode will have more on this story as it develops.

Not only has Sonic made an impact on the consoles, but I believe it has also made an impact on the gaming community as a whole.

My first game was that one with the little box that picks up keys and hits some kind of bird thing and dragons. Yeah... Adventure. Probably one of the best games ever

Ackk! I absolutely loved the anime! Infact, I think it was one of the first I ever watched. [first game, first anime? Sounds crazy!]
But I really wish they'd bring it back. If there was ever a box set [or if I could find it anywhere.,.. AT ALL] I would totally buy it.

The gay "Sonic Adventures" or whatever it is they played on Toon Disney does, indeed, need to die.
