Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board: superevil - Viewing Profile - Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board

Sonic Generations was really good. As long as producing quality titles means producing more of the Sonic Generations quality, I'll be a happy camper.

I'd like to second Dynamite Heady. It's a fantastic and quirky game by Treasure.

I did a super fast translation of the article. It's a bit sloppy, seeing that I haven't even had a cup of coffee this morning yet, and I left a little translation jargon in there.

Upper left blue text: Definitive Comical Action Product
(Pink) Sonic the Hedgehog (Temporary name)
(Yellow) Release date undecided (publisher) Sega
Price Undecided 4M (Megabit? 40,000 Yen? (I doubt that.)) Screen Shots are underdevelopment

Main body:
Introducing the rampaging comical character action game! The main character Sonic who appears to be
ripped straight out of an American comic is incredibly cute. That (his?) movement also looks
entirely like a scene from an anime. The graphics also make heavy use of primary colors and
of course, two varieties of scrolling. As the screen scrolls faster, Sonic's legs also begin
to move at super-fast speeds. Even the enemy characters appear to be nothing but a fun bunch that are impossible to hate.
The day the Sonic whirlwind sweeps over doesn't seem to be too far off.

Orange box text: Calling on the comical character.
Big Screenshot (Robot jumping over Sonic):
The map also looks incredibly busy somehow with the mountains and the valleys. (We're)
already in deep gratitude to Sonic for fighting as hard as he can. Let's do our best.

Close up of sonic walking:
Naturally he is our idol Sonic. The big-head shape is good isn't it? (I'm not sure what constitutes as chibi,
but the `二頭身　kanji implies the head and body are the same general size, so I went with big-head.)

Title Screenshot:
The beginning of the beginning of Sonic's journey.

Screenshot with Sonic jumping next to the tree:
Sonic's gallant figure as he soars high in the air.



Not sure if that helps anything in any way, but it felt like a nice little exercise.

Found the source of the picture: http://onsen.ou-net.com/?p=1214

It's a blog about hotsprings in Nagoya.

The author of similarly guesses that it's a Sonic roulette machine, then goes on about the Game Gear's color display being impressive at the time.

Just a quick description of the machine based on what's actually readable at that really low resolution: The top holds special prizes if you land on a winning space, and to the lower left, there are small prizes that you can win even if you don't land on a winning space. They look like gumballs kind of. The readable text to the left of the green button says How to play （あそびかた）Nothing else is really standing out, as far as I can tell there isn't an immediately obvious title to it.
