SEGA Launches New 'Fast Friends Forever' Events Series [U]

I know it's been repeated to death at this stage, but it's really interesting just how hard Sega is pushing Amy as being a top billing character on the level of Tails and Knuckles. She's always had her prevalence in spin offs and side projects, but between Origins Plus, Superstars, Frontiers, and being featured prominently in the Friends Forever logo, Sega seems quite committed to the bit. That's pretty much nothing but good news in my book, and I bet it does wonders for the series' broader appeal for young girls. Gone are the days of her being playable in like two sections of 06.

Pretty nice, I must say. So cool.

EDIT: For those who can’t use Twitter…

Love that video where everyone comes together like family and friends playing the Sonic games and the friendship and relationship as well. When I watched that video to me It's about getting together with your friends and family.

It's not really all that different to Boom, and it's earlier days as Sonic Synergy that featured the all of the quartet in its logo. For whatever reason, SEGA seem to be very keen to move beyond the idea of focusing squarely on Sonic. And I'm 100% on board with the concept of developing a core cast of main characters instead of just Sonic, Tutorial Tails and a band of cheerleaders. Let's hope they can do justice to the concept. Between Frontiers, Origins and Superstars, it seems like a pretty strong start. 

Here is more information, apparently.

I concur! While she had a presence in old Classic art and ever since Adventure she fully became a supporting cast member, I always felt that she was perfect for the main cast and that she should replace Knuckles as the power member of Team Sonic, since she fits the role so well (despite being a speed character) and taking Knuckles away from being a guardian left his character in a state of decay and being directionless. While I do worry we may lose the qualities that made her unique, I'm happy for Amy.

Wow, unsolicited TSR sighting. That in of itself is almost newsworthy lol

I remember from my childhood watching Sonic, playing his games, the first one I tried was Sonic 2, and until today I continue with Sonic, thanks Sega for your games and thanks Sonic for always teaching me Not to give up

I'm looking forward to watching some more TailsTube.

that tsr clip looked awful

It's so cute!!! Fast Friends Forever

Well, you said more TailsTube, where is it?
