Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Update (5/30): The Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia is up on Amazon Canada and Amazon UK now. We’ve also added in a product description below.
Original (5/19): Several months ago, the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia from Dark Horse and SEGA was revealed. The book will be celebrating Sonic’s 30th anniversary by highlighting “nearly every one of the blue speedster’s video game appearances”. It’s a treat for fans with “in-depth looks at the characters, settings, and stories from each exciting installment”.
There’s now some additional news about the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia. Over on Amazon, the retailer has listed a special Deluxe Edition. The page unfortunately lacks a proper product description, though based on the image above, it will at least include a different cover, art prints, and a slipcase.
Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia is currently planned for November 23.
