SEGA TALK #92: SONIC BOOM: RISE OF LYRIC (2014)

March 22, 2022 by Barry

On this SEGA Talk, we put on some sports tape and discuss the flagship video
game for the Sonic Boom multimedia project: Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric! What were
the project’s origins? Why was it a Wii U exclusive? And we settle the debate
once and for all: which was worse? Rise of Lyric or Sonic 2006?

SEGA GENESIS SONIC SPINBALL, TREASURE TAILS AND UNKNOWN LIGHTGUN GAME ART
UNCOVERED

March 19, 2022 by Barry

If you saw our Knuckles news, we’ve got more! In sharing the Knuckles document,
a discussion within a private Facebook group led to a mention of an eBay seller
in possession of SEGA Technical Institute documents. The documents are being
sold for (in my opinion) obscene amounts and it just goes to show the difference
between an archivist and a collector. Some real cool stuff is being revealed
that has been literally sitting on people’s shelves for years! Basically, I’m
asking for a “thank you, Barry” and PLEASE if you collect this sort of stuff
SHARE IT. There is a dude sitting on a Sonic movie draft from the early 90s who
still refuses to even share scans because, I guess, they are waiting for a
payday. Ugh.

First up is a cool piece of art for Robotnik’s Pinball Fortress from Sonic
Spinball. As noted by a Twitter user, this same art is seen in a grainy pitch
video but is compressed and squished. Nice to finally see a clean look at it.
Next up…

EARLY KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA ART AND DETAILS EMERGE FROM NEWLY UNCOVERED INTERNAL
DOCUMENT

March 19, 2022 by Barry

Less than a month before Knuckles’ theatrical debut comes an early document from
SEGA Technical Institute dated April 12, 1993. The document, which was shared on
a private Sonic the Hedgehog collectors group, was meant to introduce the new
antagonist to staffers of SEGA’s American development team. Given Sonic the
Hedgehog 3 released on February 2, 1994, this document was seen nearly a full
year before making it one of the earliest glimpses of the character.

The document is chock full of interesting tidbits, including a humorous
placeholder for his name which is literally “(Name)”. Also, it is stated that
Knuckles crates a whirlwind to knock down walls. Of course, in the final game he
just sort of walks into walls and “punches” them. But this ability DOES appear
in the Sonic 3 Happy Meal which has the Knuckles toy spinning in a dust cloud.
Also, Espio does eventually have such abilities.

After the break, read the document for yourself!

WONDER BOY RETURNS REMIX RECEIVING PHYSICAL NINTENDO SWITCH RELEASE FROM
STRICTLY LIMITED GAMES

March 17, 2022 by Barry

Back in January 2019, Wonder Boy Returns received a physical release to the

original arcade classic Wonder Boy, which was published by SEGA and developed by
Escape (later Westone Bit Entertainment). In 2016, the remake Wonder Boy Returns
was developed and published by CFK for the PC and PlayStation 4, with a new
version for the Nintendo Switch released as Wonder Boy Returns Remix in 2019.

THREE SEGA GENESIS/MEGA DRIVE TITLES COMING TO NINTENDO ONLINE EXPANSION PASS

March 16, 2022 by FlareHabanero

It has been recently revealed by Nintendo that three more titles from the SEGA
Genesis/Mega Drive are coming to the Nintendo Online Expansion Pass service. Two
of them are from Treasure, being the coveted action game Alien Soldier and the
isometric adventure game Light Crusader. The third being Super Fantasy Zone, an
original game released for the Mega Drive originally developed by Sunsoft. All
three games are now available for those that have the Nintendo Online Expansion
Pass, in all regions.

It’s worth noting all three games were technically previously released on the
SEGA Genesis Mini, albeit Alien Soldier was exclusive to the Asian (Korean and
Chinese) market. But the lineup is still a solid reveal regardless, especially
since Alien Soldier and Super Fantasy Zone are expensive on third-hand markets.

NEW SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 TRAILER, POSTER AND AMC FAN EVENT REVEALED

March 14, 2022 by Barry

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (the movie, not the game) is less than a month away, which
means the marketing is really amping up! Toys are hitting shelves, a Happy Meal
is releasing in April and Paramount just dropped a new poster, final trailer and
AMC has announced a fan event! The trailer, seen above, showcases several news
scenes and dips into some of the lore that the movie will drop. The poster, seen
after the break, replicates the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 video game box art.

All this marketing sure makes you want to see the movie, right? Well AMC
Theaters has you covered, because a fan event has been announced which allows
early access to see the film on Wednesday, April 6. Showtimes appear to be at
6PM local times, and with your ticket you receive a limited edition comic book &
exclusive collector print. You can buy tickets now over at AMC’s website.

NEW SEGA UFO A LA CARTE 3 REVEALED – CHECK IT OUT IN ACTION

February 24, 2022 by Dakota

The official SEGA Youtube channel revealed the first follow-up to the UFO A La
Carte arcade machine series since 2009. A video was released showcasing the UFO
A La Carte 3, the newest UFO machine developed by SEGA and the first under the
GiGO license. The new catcher has bubbled pull strings to pull down using a
fork-like gripper, with prizes on the end or next to it. How it works is you try
to line up the gripper with the string to center it and it pulls the prize
string down. You might have to get it a few times in order to win the prizes,
which include plushes, keychains, figures and more. The video shows a small
tutorial on how to use and is very familiar with other UFO machines with the two
button layout. No information for distribution or a release date has come up but
you can check out the video above.
