The speed sphere is used in conjunction with a launcher to fire Sonic round the loop. Tails’s workshop, the Tornado and a matching Tails mini-fig are also available, alongside an Amy Rose mini-fig and an animal rescue island play-set.

Sunday, February 12th, 2023

Newly revealed at the WONDERFUL HOBBY LIFE FOR YOU!! 36 event, Good Smile Company have showcased a first look at their work-in-progress Tails Nendoroid figure. This will be the first Sonic the Hedgehog-themed Nendoroid figure released since the original Sonic the Hedgehog Nendoroid first hit shelves back in 2012. There is currently no set release date and Good Smile have said that the final figure is still waiting SEGA’s final approval.

In addition to the Tails Nendoroid news is the announcement that a Knuckles Nendoroid is on the way as well. There is currently no work-in-progress shot of the figure, but a promotional image does promise that more information is coming soon.

Nendoroids are detailed, super-deformed, licensed figurines manufactured by Good Smile Company in Japan. They normally come with multiple accessories and retail for around 5000 yen, approximately £31 in the current exchange rate.

Official Sonic the Hedgehog Cookbook Coming October 2023 | Merchandise

Saturday, February 11th, 2023

Written by Victoria Rosenthal and Ian Flynn, SEGA are releasing an official Sonic the Hedgehog-theme cookbook on October 17th 2023.

The book promises 50+ recipes based on food, characters and items from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. There is an emphasis on being able to prepare the dishes in under 30 minutes as well, which is very much in keeping with Sonic’s speedy nature.

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Official Cookbook is available to pre-order on Amazon US now. There is currently no word on a wider, worldwide release at this time. The book is being published by Insight Editions in both a digital Kindle version for $11.99 and a hardcover version for $29.99.

Bitmap Books’s Mega Drive/Genesis Visual Compendium Book Cancelled Due to Pressure from SEGA

Monday, January 9th, 2023

Previously scheduled to release in July 2022, Bitmap Books have sadly had to cancel the release of their The Unofficial MD/Gen: A Visual Compendium book after SEGA have threatened the publisher with legal action.

Creative director Sam Dyer has issued a statement that says the company cannot risk potential legal action by releasing the book as the company cannot afford the costs as a small business. SEGA are reportedly not negotiating with the company despite them previously giving Bitmap Books their official stamp of approval for their Master System: A Visual Compendium book from 2019.

The move is a strange one from SEGA who have largely ignored unofficial publications based on their intellectual properties in the past. Dedicated SEGA fanzines like SEGA Powered continue to see publication without SEGA’s approval alongside Hardcore Gaming 101’s excellent SEGA Arcade Classics books.

Bitmap Books are looking for a way to release the PDF of the completed book for free so fingers crossed all the work done for The Unofficial MD/Gen: A Visual Compendium book doesn’t go to waste. This entire situation is a massive loss for video game preservation as history books like these become important archival documents for generations to come. SEGADriven send our condolences to Bitmap Books and the plethora of writers involved in this now cancelled publication.

A Sonic the Hedgehog PC Motherboard is Being Made

Thursday, October 20th, 2022

ASRock (in collaboration with SEGA) are developing a Sonic the Hedgehog-branded PC motherboard. The board is based on the Intel Z790 Phantom Gaming Riptide motherboard, but features Sonic the Hedgehog artwork and logos adorning it alongside a change of colour.

The board is called the ASRock Z790 PG Sonic. It is a standard ATX motherboard with 2 PCIe x16 slots and 4 DDR5 memory slots. There is currently no word on when it will be sold and whether it is a limited edition product or not. It’ll be worth keeping an eye on ASRock’s website for further information.

SEGA have been pretty keen on entering the PC hardware space and recently released a Sonic the Hedgehog and Dreamcast mechanical keyboard in collaboration with Higround.
