So apparently, sometime around anywhere from late October to just a few days ago, there was a big get-together celebration thing called "Sonic Day" that talked about some history and legacy of the Sonic series as well as the Mega Drive / Genesis, at Italy's "VIGAMUS" video game museum.
 
Whatever it said and if it was new or not, who knows. We could really use some more info, or at least a translator to give some idea as to whatever this was all about specifically. But they gave some kids cool swag-swag-swag and played what seems to be Lost World, Heroes, and... 06...???? I don't even know.
 
But lets get onto the pictures, shall we?

Takashi "Beautiful Animal" Iizuka giving the fans what they want: a thumbs up.
 

One of those things you see on the walls where they say the thing at the museums.
 

A wonderfully badass Mega Drive signed by who seems to be one of the designers of it, plus Yooji.
 

Iizuka drew classic Sonic by his signature. How heartwarming :y
 

Naka after finishing a masterpiece.
 
And probably the most amusing/cool thing in this so far,
 

Uekawa drew a super cool picture. If this wasn't obviously aimed towards this taking place in Italy I'd mistake this for Sonic World Adventure 2 concept art my hopes and dreams crushed DON'T YOU JUDGE ME
 
But yeah, this was a thing that we all somehow missed. 
 
Anyone live near Rome? Even if not, I'd like to see if there's any way to watch these videos anywhere and possibly get a translation of it all. We probably won't get anything new from them, but watching Naka or Iizuka talk about their son's legacy is still great so I'm still interested. :v

Sure someone would like to pull some info out of this around here, too. Apparently has some insight on Mega Drive development from that one guy I can't really of the name to. Forgive me, I love this kind of stuff but I'm not that well-versed on the people involved with the development of Sega consoles. Maybe you guys would really like this?

That Uekawa art is pretty rad, it seems Sonic's gradually returning to his classic look.

Fucking hell Sonic running around Rome would kick all sorts of ass. That is as long as we don't see the Werehog again.

Instead of night/day they should do high/low tides. Flood the levels and let's see Sonic as a Merhog. I'd buy it on day one.

I googled that hoping to find that merhog from AoSTH, but not only did I find that, I found many, many pictures of merhog fan art.

God damn it Sonic fanbase.

EDIT: Like WTF is this? It looks like somethings about to happen there

I should probably add that I'm serious and it would be a great excuse to have the flooded sections play like NiGHTS. Everybody wins, but mostly me.

I'd rather they just use Knuckles or something. He can swim.
