Sonic is now in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2!

With a free update adding new characters and game modes, the blue blur has joined the collab puzzle game with new artworks, animation and voice clips!

Sonic, like other characters, has two versions of voices - one with his standard tone, one with lower tone. Both Japanese versoin (CV: Junichi Kanemaru) and English version (CV: Roger Craig Smith) are available!


Kanemaru-san tweeted about the update as well, telling everyone to play it!
And he was grateful for the joy over his voice as Sonic spread by Sonic fans on Twitter.


A trivia from Hoshino-san on new artwork: 

This is really cool!

Naka-san on an article about Michael Jackson and SEGA

News from 2019.06.25
Archived on 2019.07.23

The King of Pop passed away 10 years ago from this day. Upon reading an article about the close relationship Michael Jackson and SEGA had, Yuji Naka-san recalled his memory about him.




To add-on, in the article it is stated that as Naka-san realized what happened (and got kicked in the seat by somebody), he couldn't stand up from his seat for a while...
Well, the strict rule of 'clients first' must be followed... The article doesn't state any negative afterstory of this, so I assume MJ left SEGA happily despite this incident. Pfew!

Michael Jackson was known as a huge SEGA fan. Whenever he visited Japan, he'd visit SEGA HQ and let Hisashi Suzuki-san, who was a very good friend of him, show him new games in developments and give advices for making them better since he, too, was a creator and entertainer.
It is still very memorable that Michael Jackson brought his own project of making a game about himself and made it happen while actively contributing to it. (Fun fact: this game was once shown in a popular Japanese TV show「トリビアの泉 (Fountain of Trivia)」, in which trivias and not-so-useful facts of everyday life were posted by audience. So apparantly many people (at least, non-gamers) in Japan didn't know about its existence.) The rhythm game 'Space Channel 5' series also has his cameo appearance. And not to forget, he also worked on the music of Sonic 3.

His legacy in SEGA games shall be passed down the generations.

Naka-san on improved port of Space Harrier Mark III by a fan

News from 2019.05.08
Archived on 2019.05.13

Back then, Naka-san worked on porting Space Harrier to Mark III, but he couldn't remove the frame by programming. His boss told him that it doesn't bother them much so he could decide to release it, but it seems like the frame remained a worrying factor to him.

Today, he found someone who ported Space Harrier with some improvements (removing the frame, smoothing out zooming in/out) is amazed by the result!

SEGA Official & Sonic Committee's cheer-up after Golden Week

News from 2019.05.07
Archived on 2019.05.07

Golden Week, the longest national holiday week of Japan has ended.
For this year 2019, this giant holiday season was especially long with 10 days due to extra holidays added because of the Era Change.
(See reaction of SEGA people on the end of Heisei era and the beginning of Reiwa era here.)

So today is the day 1 for people in Japan to get back to work for the longest national holiday they ever had. They are either filled with energy to work, or don't want to go back to work at all...

Which type are you? :D

For those who are shining with charged energy and for those who need something to lift up your day - Sonic Committee and SEGA Official are there to encourage both of you with nice stuff here!

1. Release of Team Sonic Racing is getting close, only in 2 weeks!
Are you ready to play the new type racing game with Sonic characters? Here you go! Pre-order now and get ready to give full acceleration!
"The first day after a long vacation. The head-spinning everyday started again, but if you wait 14 days more, it's the release day of Team Sonic Racing! Let's do our best for the day!"
- Sonic Committee


 2. For those who need some energy source... how about this little adorable hedgehog?
"The timeline on day 1 after the big holiday is in such a chaos, so I'm posting here a video for you to pick out the thorns out of your heart. Fluffy. (At Orbi Yokohama)"
- SEGA Official

Orbi Yokohama is SEGA's animal park joined with technology where you can interact with different kinds of animals in unique environment of DigitaReal, located in Minato Mirai.
If you have a chance, visit there and you may be able to touch a real hedgehog!

Mazin-san's MEGA DRIVE system boards all work!

News from 2019.05.01
Archived on 2019.05.02

Remember the MEGA DRIVE game system boards Mazin-san showed us the other day?
Today he went to M2 and tested them all - here are the results!
"M2 offered me to check the function of my system boards, so we transported them to Tennohdai from my home.
I dug up all the system boards I own from deep down in my storage to find out that I bought more than I thought I had. *laugh*
Not all of them fit in the car so I left Namco's SYSTEM2 and its ROM kits, Power Drift's Y board at home."
- Masato Nishimura (Mazin)


"Alex Kidd: Lost Stars still functions!! I like its music. The gameplay is...that, though."
- Masato Nishimura (Mazin)


"SYSTEM32 funcions too!!"
- Masato Nishimura (Mazin)

Cool to see SEGASonic the Hedgehog working!


"So out of the system boards I brought, I was able to check everything other than After Burner functioning normally!
I have two After Burner so one of them should work. And that leaves F1 Exhaust Note, Power Drift, CP system2's Vampire and SuperII'X I left at home."
 - Masato Nishimura (Mazin)


So everything seems to be working so far! The storing condition must have been really good at his home storage.
In the futrure, some games from his system borads collection might be used for porting more MEGA DRIVE games! Let's look forward to the time to come.
