To be this good takes ages
Sega Retro Exhibit
The announcement of Shadow the Hedgehog may signal a new dark and depressing era of Sega gaming, but over in Japan gamers can relive what some may consider to be Sega’s golden age with the launch of a new retro exhibit.
Held at the Sega game centre in Toyohashi, the exhibit is an authentic recreation of 1980s gaming arcades containing the same style of cabinets used from the era. Visitors can play 19 arcade classics including Afterburner II, Super Hang On and Out Run Turbo. Sonic fans are also catered for, as a range of Mega Drive games are available to play including the original Sonic the Hedgehog.
The exhibit will remain open until May 8.
More details can be found at IT Media.

McDonalds Sonic toys come to the UK
Mc Donalds UK have just launched the ‘Sega 2: The Next Generation’ range of Happy Meals toys with Sonic Skateboarding and Cream's Flower Catch being the first games released.
The Billy Hatcher and Big the Cat toys are absent from the flyers supporting the promotion, which suggests that only six of the eight games released in the US will make it to the UK. The UK editions appear to differ from their US counterparts as the batteries can be removed, even though the instructions accompanying the toys describe them as ‘non-replaceable’.
^The instructions label the battery as being non-replaceable and yet the diagram shows how to remove it.
^ Billy and Big are banned in Britain
A TV advertising campaign is supporting the launch and you’ll be able to download the commercial from the GHZ Newsboard in the next few days.

The Happy Meal promotion runs from 23 March to 26 April. Week one is Sonic and Cream, week two is Shadow and Rouge & Amy, week 3 is Tails and Knuckles and weeks 4 and 5 are whatever the stores have left in stock.
In other news, the old Sonic Adventure action figures from Toy Island (not the fantastic Resaurus ones) have been re-released under the Sonic X label. Available figures are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Big and Eggman. Each figure comes complete with accessories such as Chaos Emeralds.

I never took mine out of the packaging, but the Eggman is really a pretty nice-looking figure. I suspect the posability is really limited, but at least it looks nice (and at a good scale) alongside my Resaurus set. The Sonic Adventure version included Coconuts and a bomb (in addition to the chaos emeralds), but the new one doesn't.In other news, the old Sonic Adventure action figures from Toy Island have been re-released under the Sonic X label.
