The show started an hour earlier than usual as I didn’t realise it was kicking off so late (thanks to SSF1991 for making arrangements that allowed us to do that!) and I really enjoyed having a chat with SSF1991 about last week’s Sonic and SEGA related news. You can listen to a repeat of the entire show via this YouTube link and hear myself and SSF1991 chat about Summer of Sonic, the 3DS release of Sonic Labyrinth, the first reviews for Sonic 4 Episode 2 and much, much more: Thanks once again to SSF1991 from Sonic Paradox for allowing me on the show! You can follow SSF on Twitter using @SSF1991 and remember to visit Sonic Paradox for some of the best fan-animations in the business!

The goal of the Kickstarter is to bring the game to XBLA, PSN and Steam through the sale of a limited edition Dreamcast version. This version will also come boxed with a new version of DUX called DUX 1.5 which features additional improvements over its’ original release.
