So yeah, This awesome Collectors book covering the Sonic franchise history was just released recently. Lets talk about it!



Out now in france. And after some setbacks, it will be in english soon.

Anybody here going to buy this sucker?

[Knucklez]

Ahhhhh! Hell Yeah I'm getting this!

I can't wait for someone to scan those images with the character proportions. Or are they already online? The only ones I remember are the Sonic OVA ones used for the First4Figures statuettes.
Will they ever sell it in Quebec? I'd get it in french, but I don't want to pay for shipping from EUROPE. Or do I...

I'd just wait for the english version in all honesty. It'll be out on Sonic's birthday (or close to it).

Anybody notice that @ 3:30 it covers Sonic X-treme? Allmost all printed material thats officially plublished by SEGA avoids that game, seeing as its SEGA's bruse on the saturn history of Sonic. glad they included it, canceled screwup or not its still an important part of the franchise history.

The concept that they'd still be hiding X-treme away is silly seeing that they're out of the console business; perhaps they just never found a reason to cover it, seeing as it wasn't released?

Anyways; getting this when it's in America. Thank you, sah', for showing this ;-;

I've seen little game magazine article snippets here and there over the years basically with the same "Hey this game was canceled, look at it!" message. but never really covered in a book like this. its pretty cool actually...

Techinally its not coming to the 'states but its going to be sold on the english Pix'n Love site.

Btw, Bye new guy, Good luck getting out of Pending Approval Limbo ...

Oh my God that book it so awesome, I want the English version so bad it hurts my soul

SEGA and Sonic Retro get love from this book.

I am interested in getting a scan of the page that is shown briefly at 9:28, where it appears to show some art from the Sonic 1 proto. It looks like it might be higher quality than any of the scans of the game.

I will be getting this book as soon as it gets out, that's for sure.

Looks real nice, I hope there will be an English version

[Friend of Sonic]

Super cool bump y'all

American preorders. 32.00 shipped sounds fantastic.

[Lanzer]

So we can start pre-ordering now? sweet!

[segafanac]

I have this on pre-order the moment it was up on Amazon. Quick question, please tell me the book has a nice section on Sonic CD and especially Metal Sonic.

Also out of curiosity..... the book wouldn't by chance mention the Sega Dreamcast Championships would it? That was the 1st Sega Championships featuring Sonic Adventure as the game used at the tournament... because if it is then I could be mentioned in the book!

[ashthedragon]

I've preordered this in barnes & noble a while ago. Pretty eager to know what does it say in there!
