DarkZero: A six-year old Norwegian kid called Christer wrote a letter to his King to help him change his name to Sonic X as he loved the cartoon so much. The cartoon is the latest travesty based on the now terrible Sonic games.
Amazon is selling MadWorld in addition to Sonic and the Black Knight right now for $39.97 each. That is $10.02 lower than the regular MSRP. MadWorld will be released on March 10th for the Nintendo Wii while Sonic and the Black Knight is slated for March 3rd.
SEGA has three significant titles planned for Wii owners coming up: The Conduit, MadWorld, and Sonic and the Black Knight. The Conduit and MadWorld will undoubtedly appeal to hardcore gamers, but Sonic and the Black Knight may be a different story. SEGA's Tetsu Katano, who is part of the Sonic Team, said that the game is "aimed at a younger, more casual audience."
SEGA will be bringing four of their upcoming titles for everyone to play at NY Comic Con! The line-up includes: The Conduit, The House of the Dead: Overkill, Madworld, and Sonic & the Black Knight.
Will Sonic ever go away? No, probably not, as long as he keeps making SEGA money, much to Sonic Team's own chagrin. With that in mind, we can simply hope for the best as further information about the upcoming Wii-exclusive title, Sonic and the Black Knight, comes to light.
It's the money, stupid. And enough gamers buy crappy Sonic games for Sega not to care, according to an anonymous Sega employee. Boss Rush was an anonymous blog, currently deleted, run by someone who actually turned out to be Sonic Europe employee Ben Andac (who is no longer with the company).
