A Sonic the Hedgehog 25th anniversary event has been revealed. The event will take place at the San Diego House of Blues on the 22nd of July. Tickets are available now and can be bought by clicking here.
The event was announced at a recent Sonic the Hedgehog retrospective panel at SXSW. Sonic the Hedgehog social media guru Aaron Webber also hinted at another Sonic game reveal for the event but wouldn’t commit to a definite, “there will be a new Sonic game announcement at this event” so take those comments with a pinch of salt.
Another frustratingly difficult update to our various Merchandise sections has been completed! The full list of additions is below:
– Scans of Mean Machines SEGA issue 32, SEGA Force issue 7 and SEGA Pro issue 48 have been added to the magazines section
– Images of the Sonic amiibo and Metal Sonic/Amy from the First 4 Figures mini figure collectibles have been added to the models and figures section
– Images of Joypolis Candy and Sonic Mountain Quest have been added to the miscellaneous section
A new trailer for the arcade version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games has appeared.
The arcade cabinet is an elaborate little thing with a step sensor for events that involve running and two massive joysticks you have to rhythmically fondle for the other events. You can get a little peak at the various events in the new trailer below:
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games launches in arcades worldwide some time this year. It’s exhausting just looking at it.

In today’s video we take a look at the GBA clone console, the Revo K101+. This unit surprisingly comes with support for both Game Gear and Master System emulation, which is what we’re looking at here:
We’ve made it to 200 video uploads on our YouTube channel! To celebrate we’re looking at the stranger side of the bootleg spectrum by taking a look at Sonic the Hedgehog bootlegs for the Nintendo Game Boy:
We’ve finally got a screen of SEGASonic Bros. that shows the multi-coloured Sonics that appear on the title screen, but actually in action.
While we’ve previously seen screens of different coloured balls on the game’s play-field (see below), the multi-coloured Sonics that appear on the title screen hadn’t previously been shown in game. From the above screenshot we can see the multi-coloured Sonics are actually used in play. We can only assume that turn into balls when placed or scored.
The official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account has uploaded a mysterious image with an encrypted message.
The accompanying text says, “The key lies with @madeon. Good luck.” Madeon is a French electronic music producer who uses a similar encrypted style of text on his music’s artwork.
While a Madeon collaboration linked to Sonic the Hedgehog seems inevitable, fans on Reddit have quickly worked to decipher the message in hopes it leads to information about the heavily rumoured 25th anniversary Sonic title.
ShouTime is back once again with another screenshot from the unreleased SEGASonic Bros. puzzle arcade game.
As you can see above, we now have a look at the game’s difficulty settings which are remarkably similar to Columns’:
ShouTime has also uploaded an image of a Sonic the Hedgehog rucksack which is tagged with ‘SEGASonic Bros’. It’s not confirmed but this could be a piece of merchandise that was tied into the release of the game, but it doesn’t explicitly state this on the actual rucksack.
