SEGA’s SXSW panel for Sonic the Hedgehog has officially wrapped up. There was quite a bit of news on Team Sonic Racing, but if you were anticipating brand new announcements, you might be a bit disappointed. That being said, Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuka did leave fans with a small team.

According to Iizuka, work has started on the next major Sonic title. He added that SEGA will be excited to share more news in the future. Other than that, he thanked fans for their patience until the company has something to show.

Another look at the movie Sonic render

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Images | 0 comments

New images of what appeared to be a look at Sonic the Hedgehog in his upcoming movie leaked earlier this week. Following up on that, we have another render – attached above.

The source of the image stems from a promotional document. While it’s unclear where exactly it came from, a Paramount employee has apparently confirmed its validity.

The Sonic the Hedgehog movie debuts November 8.

New image of Sonic the Hedgehog discovered, possibly for the upcoming movie

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Update: A full body render has been added to the end of this post.

Original: The new Sonic the Hedgehog movie is eight months out from its premiere. But believe it or not, we’ve yet to see what the character looks like in the film. We’ve gotten glimpses here and there, but that’s about it.

Our first look at the popular character in his big screen role may have been discovered today. Hamagami/Carroll, a marketing services firm, has a couple of images on its website – including the one attached above. We haven’t seen this design for Sonic before, and the site says it created some packaging “for all of the licensed retail products within the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise”.

Rumor: Old Sonic movie poster surfaces

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments

This week, we’ve seen a pair of official movie posters for the upcoming Sonic movie. In case you missed them, you can check them out here and here.

Today we have a look at another possible poster for the film, though it might be a bit older. The one pictured above is apparently from last year when the cast and script were greenlit. Still, could this be our first look at Sonic in the movie?

Thanks to Magitroopa for the tip.
