Jun Senoue Confirmed for TGS Performance, 3rd Generations OST?

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

Jun Senoue, famed composer of many a Sonic game, has confirmed he will be performing on the SEGA stage of the Tokyo Game Show on Sunday September 18th. Jun will be performing alone and is planning an interesting playlist.

“I need to think about the songs to play there and I know it will be a great opportunity to play some from Generations.”

In other news, Jun has also confirmed that the 2 Sonic Generations CDs we discovered artwork for are in fact Japanese pre-order items for anyone pre-ordering either the PS3/360 or 3DS versions.

“They are sort of giveaway CDs. I will work on the soundtrack CD of Sonic Generations later.”

That last comment seems to indicate that Jun is arranging a proper Generations soundtrack CD for a later release. More on this as we get it!

Video Spotlight: Sonic CD Announcement Trailer

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

The Sonic CD announcement trailer is live! However, SEGA have got a bit confused:

“Sonic CD marks an important chapter in Sonic’s history, bridging the gap between his oldest adventures and his new digital exploits like Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode I,” said Sega West digital business VP Haruki Satomi.

Erm, no it isn’t Satomi.

“We’ve made sure the re-mastered edition has everything that Sonic fans want to see with all of the original colourful classic zones.”

The game has also been confirmed for XBLA, PSN, PC, iOS, Android and Windows 7 phones.

Check out the trailer here:

Also, check out this awesome new character art released to coincide with the announcement (thanks Gagaman).

Jun Senoue’s Signature Sonic ESP Guitar Now In Production UPDATE

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Jun Senoue’s legendary Sonic Adventure custom ESP guitar is now being mass-produced!

ESP’s Japan site has just unveiled a new page featuring the guitar’s specs and further details. We can’t read Japanese, but we’re guessing that the details in the giant, red box mean the guitar is only available between 25/08/2011 and 31/12/2011 due to this year being Sonic’s 20th.

Jun’s Twitter also recommends that if you are interested in owning one and you’re not in Japan, you should talk to your local ESP retailer for additional details. This could mean that ESP Japan are willing to ship the guitars worldwide.

EDIT: UK price confirmed! Lick Library have announced the UK price of the Jun Senoue signature ESP guitar will be £1299. Better start saving those pennies! (thanks to Sam Manojlovic)
