Death to all hedgehogs! Echidnas...bah! The latest Sonic Adventure 2
screens feature the one character we really care about. Of course I'm talking about your
hero and mine, the one and only belligerent man of Egg: Dr. Ivo Robotnik, more commonly known as
Dr. Eggman! The good Doc's sporting a new egg walker contraption that's inspired more than just
a little by the EGG-HVC-DO1 (Palmtree Panic boss) and the original "Egg Walker" (Electric Egg
boss). But what's this? Can it be that the supervillain to end all supervillains is fighting
against another villain? And check that item monitor in the second screen...by Chaos,
that's Robotnik's mug in that cylinder! Can it be? Dare I suggest? Eggman is a...
playable character? Be still, my beating heart...
Feast your unworthy eyes upon a preliminary model of the Samba de Amigo
Ver.2000 arcade cabinet. This was the one being used at the JAMMA show, although the final
model may differ slightly. Oh yeah, unless it was just an awkward translation, it seems that
Amiga is, in fact, Amigo's younger sister. I'm going to avoid the obvious incest jokes and just
note that Linda has nothing to worry about.
The seventh edition of the Samba developer diary contains comments from the
head programmer, our buddy Yoshitaka Kawabata.
See him speak. (Viva!)
Oh yeah, here's some interesting pics pulled from the live webcam. Dig those
sekseh BR models! Chris and Tillis never looked so good! An interesting thread has developed
regarding these sleek models over in the forum...
check
it out for some laffs. Here are a few of the highlights:
"I dribbled quite a bit so I went to look at porn instead." -- Popcorn
"Oh man, now they're BOTH there!! ^^ And Tillis looks... posable *drools audibly*" -- G. Silver
"I would sell my testicles for those things." -- me
Oh yeah, and don't miss the next set of eight PSO cards.
Only 24 to go!
