Did you know that there have been at least 63 video game consoles and personal computers in the past 50 years? Well, I didn’t … honestly. So imagine my surprise when I came across this video:

Re:Retro commentor* GamerC has featured the following video… It is a good video, and you should watch it… It is a speedrun of seminal scrolling beat ‘em up Streets of Rage 2, arguably the best of the three…
It’s around half an hour long, but well worth it… If I said the words “Max”, “mania” and […]

How did I miss this?

Did you get the title there? A sonic influence? I know! How clever was that?
Recently reported on 4cr is this really quite crazy tale that child-loving, face-swapping, spinny whizzer Michael Jackson was originally enlisted by Sega to record the soundtrack to Sonic 3. Watch this short video and listen for yourself: (Warning: Video contains music […]

The British Official Xbox Magazine recently interviewed Masato Nakamura, the director of the forthcoming 15th anniversary “Sonic the Hedgehog” game…
When quizzed about many aspects of the game Nakamura was decidedly non-commital with words like “no” and “comment” featuring prominently. Readers were treated to a glittering prize at the end of the interview though with the […]
