New Sonic videos
Shadow, Riders and Rush videos

A number of Sonic videos have appeared on various websites. Hi-res videos of Sonic Rides are now available at Kikizo, which feature gameplay footage of Sonic and Knuckles. Over in Japan, the promotional trailers for Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Rush can be downloaded from the official websites for each title.

US Shadow website

Sega America have launched an official English language website for Shadow the Hedgehog. The site contains brief profiles for all the key characters and also showcases some of the gameplay features.

Sonic Channel updates

Sonic Channel has been updated with artwork and character profiles for Amy and a Knuckles flash jigsaw. A selection of fan art has also been added to the community section.

E 10+? Wow, I've never even heard of that rating.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen it used, though I haven't been keeping up for the past couple of years. Has it ever been used before?

The ESRB created the "E10+" category earlier this year. The first game I can recall being branded with the rating is <i>Donkey Kong Jungle Beat</i> which came out this past March.

Ah. Game for those who are emotionally ten years old, and not nonplussed.

Yeah, it's a completely pointless, stupid rating.

Lost in Blue carries it, for reasons unknown to me. I wonder if you can get to first base or something.


EDIT: Y'know, Sonic Riders actually looks kind of fun.

Sonic Rifers looks to play exactly how I thought it would, but yes it is looking a bit nifty. Spindashing on boards and also doing tricsk on the leaders 'air' looks cool. The only thing is if you are leading there's no air which may put a damper on things.

Oh, and falling off levels looks like it may be a bit of a problem.

I think if Sonic Riders can get itself to be a cross between F-Zero GX and SSX, it might have a chance to be a good game.

Has anyone noticed the medallions on the Black Arms leader resemble the spiky symbol on the game logo? I'd assumed the logo was like a badass version of the SA2 Sonic/Shadow one.*

EDIT: In Shadow the Hedgehog. Sorry.

I first saw it on Lumines.

Not sure why unless there are some secret songs in the game that has explicit lyrics kids under 10 can't handle.

Can anyone even play the Japanese movies? They don't work for me. I probably need some obscure codec.

Goddam encoding doesn't work on Sonic Channel. >>

Y'know, I can at least appreciate the effort that went into this Shadow website. It's very nicely designed, and the scroll bar up top is just nifty.

If someone gives you a brochure about the world's smelliest pile of shit, it's still about the world's smelliest pile of shit, no matter how nice the brochure is.

SegaChan has posted a Sonic Rush trailer which is supposed to be fairly amusing. However, like most of SoJ's video content, I can't get it to load properly. Does anyone know the secret to accessing the Japanese video files? ^_^

Yeah, get a Japanese browser…

Did anyone else see that world map on the media page? As I recall this is the first time we've gotten a look at what the Sonic series' Earth looks like from space(In SA2 it was mostly obscured by clouds).
