The previously leaked Sonic Boom character seen on a poster has been made official by SEGA. The character is called Sticks and she’s a jungle badger who “will play an integral role across all Sonic Boom platforms.” The announcement on the official SEGA blog has this to say: “Sticks is wilder than the other members of Sonic’s team with unparalleled animal instincts and extremely sharp survival skills. She’s a fearsome combatant and a tenacious hunter who’s armed with handmade weapons at all times, most notably a handmade boomerang that she keeps in tow.” You can see footage of Sticks’ voice actor and get further insight into her personality in the below video: There’s not much else to say really. She looks a bit like Marine from Sonic Rush. She has a silly name. She will appear in the TV show and the games. It’s another new sidekick for Sonic.

It’s been a while since we took a look back at some classic SEGA anthems and I thought it was worth featuring the below track simply because it’s been stuck in my head all morning! Today we are taking a look at the rather lovely 8 bit ditty that is the theme to Jungle Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog for Master System and Gamer Gear. The track was composed by Yuzo Koshiro who is more famously recognised for his thumping, dance style and the Streets of Rage soundtracks. The Sonic the Hedgehog 8 bit soundtrack showcases Yuzo Koshiro in a lighter, more poppier mood yet still manages to be a highly memorable collection of songs. Hopefully you will all be whistling the Jungle Zone theme once you’re done with this! Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven. Likes old games, heavy music and too much pizza.

There’s quite a bit of new information floating around regarding SEGA’s new arcade fighting game Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax. While the game features a cast of characters from various anime and manga series’, SEGA fans will be interested in the Sonic the Hedgehog stage (see above). The graphics seem to be taken from Green Hill in Sonic Generations. Also announced is that Akira from Virtua Fighter will appear as a boss character. Other character announcements include the inclusion of Kirito from Sword Art Online. Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is due to hit Japanese arcades this spring with demos available to play at the Japan Amusement Expo on February 14th and 15th at Makuhari Messe near Tokyo.

Follow on Twitter @kronkblats Everything You Need to Know About Sonic BoomThursday, February 6th, 2014Lots of Sonic news coming out of New York today! At a press event called “2014: Year of Sonic”, SEGA properly revealed a new animated series called Sonic Boom featuring new character designs for Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, Tails the Fox, Amy Rose and Dr Eggman. You can see the new character designs below:
Along with the character reveal, a trailer for the series was also uploaded. Take a look at Sonic in battle with Dr Eggman’s Burnbot and with Tails providing some bizarre lazer-whip thingy that I don’t quite understand at this time: To tie in with the series, SEGA are publishing a tie-in video game as well. The real shock comes in the choice of developers. Sonic Team will NOT be handling the Sonic Boom game. The Wii-U version will be developed by Big Red Button Entertainment (a new studio) and Sanzaru Games on 3DS (famous for various Sly Raccoon games). Check out the announcement trailer for the game below: Screenshots for the Sonic Boom game can also be found in this gallery over at The Sonic Stadium. Also confirmed is that the Sonic Boom continuity does not mess with the “official” Sonic the Hedgehog canon. The Sonic you know and love from games like Sonic Lost World, Generations and Colours belongs to the official canon with the Sonic from Sonic Boom existing in an alternate universe. Basically Sonic Boom does not replace the Sonic you currently know. [Source: The Sonic Stadium and The Sonic Show] Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven.

Follow on Twitter @kronkblats Sonic Boom Now Has a Subtitles and the 3DS Version Will Have an Increased Focus on PlatformingTuesday, February 4th, 2014UPDATE The Wii U version of Sonic Boom also has a subtitle and it is Rise of Lyric. ORIGINAL STORY The 3DS version of Sonic Boom will be called Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal and will have a much larger focus on platforming. This is at a juxtaposition with the Wii U version which focuses more on action and exploration. Another interesting confirmation is that Sticks the Jungle Badger is actually playable and not just a non-playable character stuck in the game to flesh out the story. You can see a screenshot of her in action in the above screenshot. [Source: Siliconera] Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven. Likes old games, heavy music and too much pizza.
