Thanks to Tim, we've learned that the SA Fan Comic has been updated. Click here to read it.
Sonic HQ is officially working! There should be no missing links anywhere on the site, except in "Fan-Fics" (due to an unexpected transfer error), and "Music" (where the links DO work - you just have to see the explanation on the main music page to use them properly). If you find any, please e-mail sonichq@kontek.net. Part of this project involves a relaunch of the Games List, too - you'll find new designs on many of the pages there.
SEGA recently announced the date and location for the official Sega Dreamcast Mobile Assault Tour Championships! Date: February 5th, 2000. Location: Sega GameWorks on the Las Vegas strip.
Two teams of Sega Dreamcast Mobile Assault Vehicles(MAT vehicles) are touring more than 45 cities and 200 locations. For those of you who dont know, the MAT chalenges you to play a special edition of Sonic Adventure. At the final event in Las Vegas, the best four competitors from the MAT will compete for a prize of -- get this -- $15.000!! The four finalists will be announced in mid January. On the event (which, in case you havent guessed it yet, is open to all) SEGA has prepared a lot of surprises for us! One of which is a LIVE performanse from a band. However SEGA has yet to announce which band will be the one to do the show. So, if you're looking for an excuse to get to Las Vegas for a weekend, look no further 'cause SEGA seem's to be planing one hell of a party! Source: IGNDC Want to know more about MAT? Check this.
According to IGNDC, SEGA actualy has a secret game in development! Take a look at this article:
In the latest issue of Denki magazine, it was reported that Sega is currently working on a secret project which is due to be announced next March. According to the report, it's rumored that the game will actually be an update to one on Sega's previous consoles. Sega Japan has made no official statement on the matter to date, but considering the game would only be in planning at this stage, we wouldn't expect it to. So, anyone up for a Dreamcast version of Shinobi or Golden Axe? It's possible that SEGA is trying to bring some of it's old legendary titles to DC. Also, do note that, sinse the game is rumored to be an update of an older format, it is possible that we may see something that many Sonic fans out there tenaciously ask for. Can you say Sonic Jam 2 kiddies? Only time will tell... You can see the original article here. Source : IGNDC
While I was checking the website of the Dreamcast UK magazine I came across a review of Sonic Adventure. While it's not something new, it's realy interesting to check out since it's quite funny.
You can read the review here. Source:Dreamcast UK magazine webpage
Also, there is a little surprise if you make Sonic go near one of these trees. Source : IGNDC

I may not be member of the SHQ, but I came across some rather interesting information. So I asked Vec and he helped me pull this off.
The December issue of the British "Dreamcast offical magazine" has some realy interesting info about DC and the newly apeared Neo Geo Pocket. Let's see what they had to "say"... "DREAMCAST'S LITTLE BUDDY -- handheld fun is waiting in the sidelines with the Neo Geo Pocket While the VM unit has the honour of acting as memory unit and handheld toy, it looks like Dreamcast might also have another pocket pal before too long. SNK's Neo Geo Pocket is being heavily touted as the Game Boy Colour alternative this Christmas. With a colour LCD screen and quality joystick it might just prove to ba as popular as the 10 year old Nintendo machine. For us Dreamcast owners though, this little toy could prove to be a useful complement to your console. We're expecting a link-up cable to be released before the end of the year to conect a Neo Geo Pocket to a DC. The idea is to release compatible versions of each game, so that you can, say, train fighters on one system and use them on the other. SNK's first game to make use of the link is "King of Fighters R-2", wich will link up with "King of Fighters 1999" on Dreamcast early next year. SNK hopes to broaden this apeal to a number of title next year" Well that's realy cool if you ask me. Offcourse, there are no plans for Sonic Pocket Adventure to support this feature yet, but you never know. Also DO note that SEGA is promising that the DC will link up with many other machines other then SNK's handheld. Dreamcast magazine UK website:http://www.dreamcastmag.co.uk
The Ice Cap World Rankings are over, and the Japanese dominated this one. FINFIN from Yokohama won, with 49,100 points! The closest to that was 31,050, from Josh Feinberg in California. In Europe, the DC has hit half a million units sold, and Sonic Adventure is selling at almost a 1:1 ratio with the units. And, finally, SA was the third best selling DC title for November in the US. The top two were, you guessed it, NBA and NFL2K.
Bradleyhas informed me that Franco American, who produces the Sonic the Hedgehog Spaghetti O's, has changed the label to reflect the new Sonic Adventure look. You can have a look here. The new Spaghetti O's can be found in your local supermarket.
Nothing much, but as I was flipping through Wizard: The Comics Magazine #100 today, I noticed the ReSaurus Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles action figures in the toys section:
Hedge Your Bets Hey, it may be late, but it's something, right? :P NOTE: I posted this at 3:00 PM today (just a few minutes ago), but for some reason I can't get it to say it was PM. It just keeps saying AM for some reason. :P Toy Island has now got the rights to make Sonic Adventure based toys! glorious day! from the shots below, the have created many different varieties of toys.
There will also be two plush lines, a 7" plushline (The pic with Big) and a 10" line (Pic with Sonic, Tails,and Knuckles). The 7" line contains huggable versions of Sonic,Tails, Knuckles, and Big the Cat.
Source: Toymania The Dreamcast finally hit Australian Shores on the 30th of November. But things did not look bright. With the many delays, you would of thought Ozisoft (the distributor) would have got everything right, but they (once again) stuffed up a Launch of a system down under. How? well, lets start off by having NO Ozisoft distributed games (all games made by SEGA, Including Sonic Adventure) the first day of launch, but to come the day after. Second, have no official Extra Hand controllers OR VMU's first day, they're STILL waiting for them! (apparently will come out 10th or 15th Dec, but in small numbers) and not have most games that were named Top ten (HotD2, soul Calibur) until the 10th! And to top it all off, there was NO demo disk first day (they came the day after) and Online capabilities aren't usable (no Net CD) until Early 2000. 'Tis a sad day for "Aussies" everywhere. On the bright side, the T.V Advertisements have just started (5 days after launch), but one looks like the Apocalypse ad in America, just doesn't have any relations to any games. and others based on the games. weird thing was, they were shown in between the Simpsons episode were Bart goes to Australia, which he screwed up the country (a connection to Ozisoft methinks).

Go see te review here Source: Pocket IGN This is hardly news, but isn't everyone tired of seeing "SPA Costs" with nothing new? Anyways, EGM issue #125 (Has a pic of Donkey Kong's arm on it) has included stickers of all the heroes of Sonic Adventure and Robotnik. Get 'em while you can! Yeah, yeah, yeah, its not news, but lately, not much has been going on for Sonic and the gang. |

A new download is present on the Sonic adventure Homepage! This turns station square into a winter wonderland, ok so I lied, it just puts up a couple of Christmas trees around the place. The download takes up about 55 blocks in your VMU.
NextGenVideos has reviewed Chu Chu Rocket! with 13 screenshots and exclusive footage of the game in action! Go see it
The basic assortment of Sonic Adventure action figures features perpetual sidekick Tails, the evil Dr. Eggman (Robotnik), Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna and Big the Cat. These apparently are about 5 1/2" tall, and also have many little gadgets included like Sonics Skateboard (he has a skateboard?!), rings, and even Froggy.
A second figure line features 10 inch version of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. and they all Stand on a base, it doesn't say if there limbs move etc.
Also to be available are a bundle of twistable figures (like the old Gumby figures if anyone remembers them) These 3" figures are ready for fun and adventure. This assortment contains Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and E-102 Gamma.
The weird thing is that there isn't an appearance with Amy anywhere, strange that, as this DOES include E-102 and Eggman. Oh well these look exeptionally good, no release date of there release was mentioned.
DC Australia has had a interview with the legendary Yuji Naka! go see it
