    SEGA of Japan has released a new Billy Hatcher movie on its official webpage, and if you watch til the very end you might get a very special surprise appearance from one of our favourite characters.

    This information was sent to me by Benji, who revealed that the secret guest only appears for a split-second, but it confirms he's all but in the game.

    That's right - it's Sonic the Hedgehog himself.

    Sonic is in the game. I'm not sure what his role is but by the poses it looks like they've been competing so I'm assuming he's playable in multiplayer mode.

    Since they only show 1 second of Sonic in the vid, I took the time to take the screen shot and put it up on the net. View it here...

    We took our own picture of the blue blur's appearance ourselves too, take a look below!

    Head to the Billy Hatcher page on SEGA Japan's website here, or watch the trailer below.

    What do you guys think? Exciting huh?

    Well, I haven't been able to see the movie... but that picture with sonic and Billy doesn't look too convincing.. it uses the SA2B version and has his victory pose....he doesn't fit well into the game atmosphere and Sonic Team is usually good at that (and just look at that shadow of his... a perfect oval? Thats not right!) Besides... wouldn't it be smarter to put in the Sonic Heroes version?

    =/ Looks bogus - it is the Sonic Adventure 2 pose and the shadow is the basic oval. I say no - besides, Naka said he didn't have any plans for Sonic or any related characters to be in Billy Hatcher.

    Of course it's real. :amuse_2003:

    I know it looks fake because it's the same pose as Sonic Adventure 2, but you can view the vid at Sega of Japan to see for yourself.

    Meh, I'll believe it when see it on the American version. Plus, Billy and Sonic live in two different worlds! Billy lives in chicken world. Man, I love drum sticks... :cool_2003: And Sonic lives in the human world, get it? Besides, the graphics look cheap - this is Gamecube, not Dreamcast! Anyway, if i see it on the American version I'll believe it. Besides that, there's not much proof, ok? But still... it would be great if he was like a partner at least... :unsure_2003:

    I think it's a trick...why wouldn't they use Sonic Heroes style... and why didn't they have the shadow working properly?

    Who cares if he's not from the same world, it's a darn cameo people. It means nothing, story wise. Like his cameo in over 15 other games.

    True.... very true... but it still doesn't make sense why they used his SA2 skin..... well, only time will tell... but for now I'm filing this one as a 'Promotional Stunt'.

    Hey! That isn't some damn cameo some one put in there - besides, the screenshot looks dark. And those graphics suck! Billy looks good, Sonic sucks, ok? Damn, how easy is it to spot stuff anyway? Sheesh :suspicious_2003:

    Listen, if he said it and I said it, then it's two rights that don't make a wrong... if it's on the American version I'll believe it anyway, ok? You can't believe what you see until there's proof. So far the only proof is the screenshot. OK, and the video now... until we see it on our countries' version then he's not in it ok, god -_-
