Now SEGA can prove that it is a great place to work - Yuji Naka and the Sonic Team recently won the 16th Nikkei 'New Office Promotion' Prize, an award that "recognizes excellent offices... that are full of originality and ingenuity." According to a SEGA press release, Sonic Team's concept of "the office is a game! All workers are characters!" was given high praise for providing a fun working environment where employees could feel comfortable and relax. Some examples of this concept in practice includes "a four-person cell system with an L-shaped desk that takes into account individual environments and just-in-time meetings," a casual 'chat corner' for impromptu one-to-ones, and a conference room with the names of Sonic Team characters and coloured in their respective colours. There is even a 'Chao Garden' which is described as "an open space where you can not only store materials, but also set up game software and monitors so you can work while playing. The lighting embedded in the storage shelves and the carpet patterns create a 'soft barrier' that is different from the office room." Yuji Naka is very happy with the award and said that he felt a good office environment stimulates a creative mind. Here is a quote from him about receiving the award (machine translated): You can see images of the Sonic Team office that helped win the studio the prestigious award by clicking this link to go to the SEGA Press Release.

A site called TBBZ recently had a major awards ceremony. The Sonic Stadium cleaned up at the event, winning FOUR awards! Thanks guys! Speaking of which, it's made me revamp the TSS History section, PHP-style. You'll be able to see the awards we've won, the many different layouts we have had, and the TSS Timeline (written by myself) has been updated by a month. I'll try and get it up to date soon. Also, we have got site ranking buttons at the bottom of the navigation bar on each page. If you like what you see on the site, please click those buttons and vote for TSS. Clicking all four links takes less than 2 minutes, and they all open in new windows. This is so that we know the amount of support we got for future events and features we can add to the site. Thanks a lot for your vote! ^_^ TSS History updated

Awards Sonic Superstars Nominated for Best Family Game at The Game Awards 2023
Dreadknux posted a story in Games
The nominees for the annual video game awards show, The Game Awards, has just been revealed, and Sonic has been represented well with the 2D Classic title up for Best Family Game. The game has some stiff competition, as it will be battling two strong Nintendo titles - Pikmin 4 and Super Mario Wonder - as well as Disney Illusion Island and Party Animals. Sonic Superstars came out last month and while we really enjoyed it - check out our 4/5 Star Review here - it was, rightly or wrongly, compared to Super Mario Wonder as the two titles had released within the same time frame. If you want to support Sonic and SEGA, you can head to The Game Awards website where public voting is now open. Best of luck to Sonic Team!- 10 comments

TGS 2023 Sonic Frontiers Wins Excellence Award at Tokyo Game Show 2023
Dreadknux posted a topic in Games
Sonic Frontiers has just won a coveted 'Excellence Award' in the 'Annual Works' bracket of the Tokyo Game Show's "Japan Game Awards" ceremony. The honour, which will be shared with a number of other games, is intended to recognise high quality works from Japanese developers released in the past year. The win comes after we reported that the game had been nominated for the award back in July, alongside Sonic Origins (Plus), and follows a past 'Feature' award that the title received at last year's Japan Game Awards. The latest 3D action adventure, which saw Sonic the Hedgehog face off against unknown enemies on the Starfall Islands (and technically his own memories, in Cyberspace), was received well by critics and quickly adored and highly acclaimed by Sonic fans at launch. Over the last several months, Sonic Team has worked on free expansions for the title, introducing bug fixes and new features. SEGA shared a photo of the game's director, Morio Kishimoto, accepting the award on social media, you can check it out below. Look how happy he is! Given all the hard work Kishimoto and his team have put into the open-zone adventure (including its series of free post-launch DLC), we'd say this is very well deserved. Congratulations Kishimoto-san, and to Sonic Team! Original Post Content: View full story- 9 replies

Awards Sonic Frontiers and Sonic Origins Nominated for Japan Game Awards 2023
Dreadknux posted a story in Games
The annual Japan Game Awards has officially launched its public voting period to decide which video game should be crowned Game of the Year 2023 - and SEGA's own Sonic Frontiers and Sonic Origins (Plus) have both been admitted into the final shortlist. For both Sonic the Hedgehog titles released in the last year to be nominated for the yearly game award is a pretty big deal, and proves just how far Sonic Team has come over the last five years to bring the Sonic series back into the public eye in such a positive way. Interestingly, Sonic Frontiers and Sonic Origins also cover two distinct eras of the 32-year-long franchise - so whether you prefer Sonic's modern adventures, or think the blue blur was best back in the 1990s, there's no reason not to choose Sonic! It's a public voting event, so if you want to do your part and help Sonic Team win an award, you can visit the Japan Game Awards 2023 website (Japanese), click the button that reads, "投票する", and then in the blue search area use the text field to search for either Sonic Frontiers or Sonic Origins Plus by using the following: ソニックオリジンズ - Sonic Origins ソニックオリジンズ - デジタルデラックス - Sonic Origins Digital Deluxe ソニックフロンティア - Sonic Frontiers ソニックフロンティア (ダウンロード版)- Sonic Frontiers (Download Version) ソニックフロンティア デジタルデラックス - Sonic Frontiers Digital Deluxe Each of the above games have multiple entries relating to their specific console platform, so feel free to pick the version of the game/s you want to win specifically. When you've done that, let Sonic Team know you've supported them via their social media channel here. Good luck, Sonic Team!- 1 comment

Sonic Team head and blue blur co-creator Yuji Naka is going to receive a lifetime achievement award from the International Game Developers Association, for the work he has produced during his career at SEGA. This is great news for Sonic fans, as it means that the man who is best known for creating some of the most fun platforming games ever, will finally be getting the recognition he deserves. As well as Sonic, Naka also created Sega Saturn classic NiGHTS into Dreams and was responsible for Samba de Amigo and Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast. He will be honoured at the Game Developers' Conference on March 21. According to Gamespot, Naka said, "I am honoured to be recognized by the IGDA for my life's works. My passion is games, and I look forward to many more years of creating new and innovative gaming experiences for a variety of platforms." Source: Gamespot

The moody and broody Shadow the Hedgehog has made an impact on various video game outlets, as illustrated by the second annual Wizard Video Game Awards. Sonic's doppelgänger was named the Best Villain of the Year. "Packing more 'tude than the blue dude himself, this evil hedgehog's killer look and dreams of world conquest had fans loving him more than hating him," said the magazine. For more, pick up a copy of Wizard #124 and turn to page 104.

And the awards just keep on coming for Phantasy Star Online. Sonic Team's innovative console RPG has been honoured by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) in this year's Interactive Entertainment awards. This is a big deal, as BAFTA is the leading arts group in the UK. PSO won the BAFTA in the 'Games - Networked' category. "Phantasy Star Online is one of the first console online games which crosses international barriers and creates and builds online communities," writes the description of the game as the reason for its win. Check out the BAFTA website here for more on the Interactive Entertainment awards and other winners, including video games Max Payne and Gran Turismo 3.

Kids Choice Awards Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Wins Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award for Favourite Movie 2023
Dreadknux posted a topic in Media
Sonic the Hedgehog's silver screen adventures just keep on winning, as the 2022 Paramount movie sequel 'Sonic the Hedgehog 2' took the prize of 'Favourite Movie' at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2023. The live-action movie, which pits Sonic and Tails against Dr. Robotnik and Knuckles, beat out Hollywood rivals such as 'Avatar: The Way of Water', 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever', 'Black Adam', 'Top Gun: Maverick' and others to win the award. It's no surprise that the movie won the hearts and minds of kids worldwide, with the movie grossing over $400 million at the box office since its premiere last year. Let's hope the awards keep on rolling for Paramount and the Sonic movie team! Via Deadline View full story- 5 replies

Awards Sonic 2 and Jim Carrey Nominated for Nickelodeon's 2023 Kids' Choice Awards
GX -The Spindash- posted a story in Media
Nickelodeon's oddball kid-focused award show returns this year with Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog 2 up for vote in two separate categories. The movie itself has been nominated for "Favorite Movie," while Jim Carrey's performance as Dr. Robotnik has him nominated for "Favorite Movie Actor." This is a striking parallel to 2021, when the original Sonic the Hedgehog film and Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik were nominated for the same two categories, but were beaten by Wonder Woman 1984 and Robert Downey Jr. in Dolittle. The 2023 Kids' Choice Awards airs on March 4 at 7 PM ET, and will be hosted by football commentator Nate Burleson and social media personality Charli D'Amelio. Unlike more traditional award shows, The Kids' Choice Awards is determined through public vote online and via Nickelodeon's mobile app, and features a more eclectic range of nominees across movies, TV, streaming, music, sports, YouTubers, games, and the like. It's worth keeping in mind that Nickelodeon itself is a Paramount subsidiary, and the network advertised the movie through its many TV and online tendrils (including that truly bizarre NFL takeover last year). Of all award shows, this is perhaps the most grain-of-salt for many reasons, so, you know, let's not take it too seriously. Heck, Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, a show that Nick.com and Paramount+ delisted last week, is nominated for three categories.- 6 comments

Sonic Team's lead producer, Yuji Naka, has won an award for Best Programmer at the annual high profile Association of Media in Digital (AMD) Awards in Japan. Congratulations Naka-san! The award was given for Naka's work on Dreamcast online RPG Phantasy Star Online - indeed, the reasoning AMD gave for the honour included the fact that the game represented the first time that a network of such epic proportions had been developed for a video games console. Naka and PSO also got a special nod for the game's innovative 'Word Select' system, which broke down language barriers and allowed players from all over the world to communicate with one another. Thanks, Sonic Foundation.

Phantasy Star Online Hackers Spoil PSO Event, Doesn't Stop Sonic Team Winning Awards
Dreadknux posted a story in SEGA
There's been a little bit of good news and bad news this week in the world of Phantasy Star Online. The officially-organised PSO Fan Cup has been halted in Japan due to hackers exploiting certain elements of the special quests. It's likely that the event has only been temporarily stopped while the culprits are weeded out. The Fan Cup started yesterday and is intended to run until April 6. It's only available for Japanese PSO players at this time and involves a 1-minute, 115-block download to experience three new quests. Hopefully, once the issues are sorted out, this can make its way to the West. But in other, more positive news, Phantasy Star Online was the winner of a number of gongs at the fifth Japan Game Awards ceremony. It beat a strong nominee list - including Majora's Mask, Dragon Quest VII and Final Fantasy IX - to win the top prize. Congratulations, Sonic Team! -
Hello! Excuse me, I know I have posted this topic before, but my account was deleted during the server crash. I asked for a list of the available awards on SSMB. With my account, my topics and posts were deleted, too. So can somebody write here a link or a list of all the SSMB awards? Sorry for bothering, and thank you!

When: December 7th 11pm GMT / 6pm ET / 3pm PT Where: http://www.spike.com/vgx/about Official site featuring all of the nominees: http://www.spike.com/vgx With the VGAs VGX coming up this Saturday and a lot of stuff being teased about it lately, I thought I'd prep a thread ready for the event. Here's a list of games we know that will be shown there so far courtesy of CVG: Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime will be presenting a new look at an upcoming Wii U game. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Titanfall Quantum Break South Park: The Stick of Truth Broken Age Dying Light Tom Clancy's The Division At least two new trailers for unspecified Square Enix games. Let the speculation commence.

So I was just browsing the forums like the norm, and I always like to admire the awards people have won on the boards! Be it the recent Werehog contest, the Halloween SSMB sings! or even some of the older, much more vague ones of the Smash Brothers tourney we held a few years back. But then I see that special awards are handed out randomly by mods for actions they see specific members take part in, or actual badges that are accustomed to individual members depending on events or funny shit that goes down, or simply personal meaning to them. I know that asking for badges/awards doesn't equate to getting them, because they are a luxury and have to be earned via events or special time and place deals... But wouldn't it be really cool to have a section of SSMB dedicated to the listing of awards, set up like a legend with the name, image and message that goes with them? I know it's not important, but it would be nice to have ^^

Title says all, really. The pics that usually appear in the "user awards" only show up as dots, and I think this applies for all members and all pages withthe shown. Wondering if you guys are trying to get this fixed, and thanks for reading.
