[The broadcast of February will cover Sonic games including the lately released "SEGA AGES Sonic the Hedgehog 2" for Nintendo Switch, and do-not-miss apparel goods of Sonic!]
I guess it's going to be something similar to a radio program. I already sent them a message - will it be read by Senoue-san and Hoshino-san? I'm looking forward to it very much!
Also, it would be cool if other members of Sonic series and voice actors are invited to the livestream as guests! Who would you want to come?
I wouldn't be able to do a live coverage, but I'll try to summarize contents after each broadcast. Stay tuned!
