Much like Pikachu and Eevee, Sonic the Hedgehog now has his own plush from Build-A-Bear Workshop. The official website has it listed for $35. Note that this is an online exclusive bundle. It contains the 17-inch Sonic plush, gold ring accessory, and an exclusive print created by Sonic Team.

That’s not all though. Build-A-Bear is also offering a pre-stuffed, 13-inch Miles “Tails” Prower doll for $15. You can also nab a T-shirt wearable by any Build-A-Bear doll and featuring Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles sells for $7 at retail. Last but not least, a digital sound clip playing the “Special Stage” theme from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is being sold for $7.

Stores will begin carrying the Sonic-related merchandise on December 3. A closer look at the goodies can be found below.

Once again, some more characters from the upcoming Puyo Puyo Chronicle and their Auto and Special Skills have been revealed via 4Gamer (credit to Perfectly Nintendo for the translation):

Rafine

A confident and snobby girl from a wealthy family who studies at the Magic School in Primp Town. Despite that, she’s not really that good at magic – martial arts is her specialty.

Auto Skill: Filled with confidence (increases HP)

Special Skill: Etincelle (changes the color of a column of Puyo to yellow)

Yu-chan & Rei-kun

A sibling pair – and both of them are ghosts. Yu-chan is bright and intelligent, whereas Rei-kun is silent and backs her up in whatever she says and does. They like to talk in puns and riddles.

Auto Skill: Beyond the Veil (increases Recovery)

Special Skill: Silent Step (lowers the defense of all opponents)

Head past the break for more characters!

SEGA released some extensive new gameplay footage of Puyo Puyo Chronicle today:

The folks at Gematsu have also translated some new info that was released at gamer.ne.jp today.

A new feature of Puyo Puyo Chronicle is the new “Skill Battle” rule. Players form a team of up to three characters and have to make good use of the skills that each character has. There are two types of skills – “Auto Skills” are triggered automatically under certain conditions, whereas “Special Skills” have to be manually activated by pressing the X button and cost MP.

Skills can have a variety of effects – changing the state of the puzzle field, recovering HP and so on. Each character has a variety of skills to choose from, and they also get more powerful the more you use them. Skills can help you beat the game even if you aren’t that good at puzzle games.

Head past the break for some new characters and the skills they possess:

The development of Sonic Heroes took its toll on director Takashi Iizuka, who is also the head of Sonic Team. Iizuka spoke to Game Informer this month about how difficult it was to create, even labeling it as the most stressful project of his career.

Iizuka was located in the United States as Sonic Heroes was being created. Meanwhile, the rest of the team was based in Japan. Mismanagement was also a major issue.
