Tuesday, August 27 2002 New (multi-platform) Sonic title to appear at TGS Posted by Pepperidge at 8:06 PM CT In case you haven't heard already, GameForms has released a list of games set to appear at the Tokyo Game Show (September 20-22), and "Sonic Adventure 3" is listed among them for multiple platforms, along with Sonic Mega Collection for GameCube.

Though if the new game does appear (similar misinformations have occured before; it may just be the Sonic Adventure 1 port) it should be noted that Sonic Adventure 3 will more than likely not be the title, as Sega has confirmed several times in the past that Sonic Team will no longer be using the "Adventure" title in future Sonic games.
Thursday, August 15 2002 Entire Sonic the Fighters UFO toy series on eBay Posted by Pepperidge at 1:15 PM CT We don't usually report eBay auctions here. I usually prefer to either a) bid for them myself or; b) let the auctions die an honourable, obscure death. But this one simply has to be seen to be believed. UFO plush toys of the entire Sonic the Fighters cast (sans Amy, Bean and Bark) are up now up for bids on eBay. Here are the links:

Friday, August 9 2002 US PSO GC BCA Posted by Segaholic2 at 9:37 PM CT Now that's a lot of acronyms. In standard wording, that says:

United States Phantasy Star Online GameCube Box Cover Art

Huzzah! Oh yeah, the art... Thanks to Amazon for this.

Snazzy!


You can also check out game info and pre-order it from Amazon here. Amazon touts an October 18th, 2002 release for us Americans. If Sega decides to delay this game again, someone call out a search party for Peppy's body, because I won't.
Wednesday, August 7 2002 Mega Collection Screens Posted by Bakari at 4:55 PM CT Games Radar is cooking up a “Frenzy”(According to themselves) of Sonic Mega Collection screens. If you’ve ever seen a 16-Bit Sonic game in your life, then these won’t interest you.
