-- Info -- Title: Sonic Adventure: International Release: October 14, 1999 Previously: Project "Kaigai"

   No longer will Japan be forced to endure a rushed, glitchy version of the game of the century. Sonic Adventure is being re-released in its home country, complete with all the extra juice that was pumped into Western versions. Here's a list of the extras not available in the original Japanese release:

• Improved camera
• Improved collision detection
• More stable framerate
• Online network features including a Time Attack World Ranking, a hint section featuring guides for each character as well as detailed maps, a Chao Garden trading area including a special "Black Market" where you can trade 100 Emblems for a secret Chao, Mercury GP where you can download additional tracks for the Twinkle Park Circuit, special holiday downloads, and about everything else you could ever ask for except realtime multi-player spoils.
• A language option featuring both the new English and original Japanese voice tracks, as well as text in English, Japanese, French, Spanish, and German.
• Four new art pieces for your PC desktop

   Freak not, you won't have to buy two copies of SA. These are all the features available to us in the standard North American version of Sonic Adventure. See, it was worth the nine month wait, now wasn't it? SAI will be released on October 14 in Japan, and will ship simultaneously with the oft-delayed Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island (known as Sonic 3D Blast to us dumb Americans).
