Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Movie) [SPOILERS] Three Storyboards for Scenes in Knuckles Series and Sonic 3 Movie Have Been Seemingly Leaked
GX -The Spindash- posted a topic in Media
Last night, three videos showing storyboards for both Paramount's Knuckles series and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 found their way onto the internet. We have not been able to verify the original source of these, and thus this should all be taken with a grain of salt. For now, due to the quality and scope of the boards, we are cautiously treating them as likely real, with the acknowledgement that we don't know how old these scenes are, and that there is always a possibility that things may have changed in the course of production. One format encountered was a PDF hosted on a temporary file storage service. The other was a video slideshow on "CartoonUpdates," an otherwise empty Twitter/X account where the original tweets "have been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner" (sourced by SonicMovieUpdates). Many are interpreting the removal as further evidence of the storyboards' authenticity. At time of writing, the video version of the storyboards is available through an r/GamingLeaksAndRumours thread. SONIC 3 MOVIE SPOILERS BELOW, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. The first scene shows 443 panels from Sonic 3. Dr. Robotnik and Shadow are aboard the space colony ARK. The scene, titled "S3 SpaceStationTimeTravel v01 SVM," shows Shadow (who appears to be in his Super form), pushing the movie's version of the ARK in a manner that warps time. Given the context of what's happening, there's a good chance this is a scene near the end of the movie. There are a number of pretty significant details in this scene beyond the inclusion of the ARK. The most obvious one being that Robotnik is still alive. He is saddened by the absence of Agent Stone, who he hallucinates being on the ARK with him, and then has flashbacks of Stone pulling him out of the rubble following Sonic 2, and nursing him back to health. In this moment, the ARK's power is failing as Robotnik attempts to redirect it to thrusters. During the time warp, flashes of other scenes occur in distorted bubbles, including Super Sonic breaking through a window on the ARK to attack Shadow, Robotnik shooting finger lasers in a duel that seems to be against himself, a brief moment where he, Tails, and Knuckles are angrily huddled together, and a bunch of abstract visual warping. KNUCKLES SERIES SPOILERS BELOW, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. The Knuckles' storyboards are broken into two parts, one labeled "KTE EP6 BLACKARMSBATTLE part1 v16 SVM" and the other "KTE EP6 BLACKARMSBATTLE v12 SVM NOTES resleeve" (yes, we also noticed the title, we'll get to that in a bit). Again, with it referencing Episode 6, this is probably the ending of the series. Both scenes show Knuckles fighting someone in a large black mech suit in Reno, aided by a nearby person (presumably Wade given the premise of the show). Both seem to be involved in a bowling tournament. In the first part, Knuckles orders food at a bowling alley before being interrupted by a commotion outside. He is ambushed by an electrified wire or tentacle. The mech suit grabs him and presses him against a wall. The cockpit slightly opens to reveal that the pilot is a bald/shaved man (possibly a soldier?) with panels attached to his head. Knuckles is thrown into the bowling alley, interrupting the tournament. Wade (I'm just going to call this person Wade for simplicity's sake) attempts to assist a hurt and defeated Knuckles, and he confronts the man in the mech suit. The second part appears to happen some time after, where Knuckles again fights the man in the mech suit. Wade calls out "The Flames of Disaster!" as Knuckles is now able to shred off parts of the mech suit with a flurry of cinematic punches. The scene ends with Wade firing a Mazinger Z-esque rocket punch at a globe on a nearby building. Knuckles grabs the globe (now aflame) and crushes the mech suit with it (it's on a building, so it's probably hollow). Obviously, there's a lot going on here across the two scenes that reference a number of games. While Black Arms and "The Flames of Disaster" are references to Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06 respectively, they probably shouldn't be taken as literal adaptation for now. Because of the antagonistic role GUN takes against Earth's pan-dimensional residents in Sonic 2, there's a good chance Black Arms refers to a military unit, villainous organization, or that specific mech suit. It also has the potential to play into Shadow's origin story, as a take on Black Arms being involved in his creation. "The Flames of Disaster" while referencing Iblis in Sonic 06 seem like they refer to Knuckles' firey attacks here. It could be something that the two are trying to prevent in relation to the mech suit, an ability Knuckles gains, or something as mundane as a jokey name that Wade makes up for him. While there's still quite a bit of speculation to be had about these storyboards, it's worth reiterating that we know very little about them at this time. We don't know their age (and thus if there have been meaningful revisions since), we don't know the larger story context in which they sit, and... while it would be quite an unreasonable feat to produce 900 storyboard panels for a hoax, fan project, or proof of concept, we can't with absolute 100% confidence rule it out as a possibility. In either scenario, both the Knuckles series and the Sonic 3 movie will release this year. With hope, we will soon start seeing trailers for both projects and finally get a better sense of what they will be like.

Set Photos Sonic 3 Movie Photos Leak As 'GUN Vehicles' Spotted in London
nuckles87 posted a topic in Media
Although the SAG-AFTRA is still on strike (though an end may be in sight), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has begun filming nonetheless, albeit with CG characters. If this latest round of photos are any indication, it looks like someone in this movie will be going to Japan. The photos, taken and posted by Twitter user Tim Wright, show GUN vehicles and Japanese police cars on the streets of Canary Wharf, an area in East London. Given that they can't shoot any scenes involving live actors at the moment, this would either be associated with a scene involving CG characters, or something else like an establishing shot. Given the involvement of GUN, the police, and the cool looking buildings, I'd guess it might be where Sonic and friends meet Shadow. But we'll see.

Leak Sonic Origins Will Include 'Classic' and 'Anniversary' Game Types, New Areas, Mission Mode
Dreadknux posted a story in Games
It really feels like we're close to a release date for Sonic Origins, the classic game compilation designed to celebrate Sonic's 30th Anniversary. Overnight, details on the title were published (and subsequently leaked) on the Australian PlayStation Store, confirming some key information about how the 16-Bit games will be treated - including new animations, new areas to explore and missions to complete! Key Art pulled from the Australian PSN Store for Sonic Origins "Relive the classic collected adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD in the newly remastered Sonic Origins," reads the title's description. "From the iconic Green Hill Zone to the treacherous Death Egg Robot, you'll speed down memory lane to thwart the sinister plans of Doctor Robotnik in polished high definition!" Here's where things get super interesting. The rest of the description reads, "this latest version includes new areas to explore, additional animations, and a brand new Anniversary mode!" The game page details continue to outline that not only will Sonic 1, 2, 3, Knuckles and CD all receive resolution improvements, but each title will include new opening and ending animations, as well as new areas for players to discover. Additionally, a Mission mode will challenge fans to complete certain tasks and be rewarded with coins (not rings?) which can be spent in the Museum to unlock archive material. We're hoping that the material in question is substantial and not the limited range of art we've come to expect thanks to past Sonic Mega/Gems Collections. Finally, each game will be available in either Classic mode (which comes in original resolution and limited lives) or Anniversary mode (which offers fullscreen resolution and unlimited lives). Hopefully there's a way to enjoy the fullscreen resolution elements while still including a challenge for old-school fans! So, it sounds like Sonic Origins is shaping up to be something exciting! It's not been confirmed exactly who's behind the remastering of these titles, but given the above we have a few ideas... Hopefully SEGA will announce the release very soon.

The 2023 LEGO Sonic playsets have only just hit store shelves, but already there is chatter about some new LEGO products featuring the blue blur set for release in January 2024! Two mysterious product lines have been spotted by German LEGO fansite brickmerge.de - LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog #76995 and #76996. Both have a release date of January next year. The former comes with 196 pieces and will reportedly retail for €20.99, and the latter apparently includes 277 pieces and will cost €34.99. Not much more information is known beyond that - quite understandably, given that this is something of a very topline info leak - but I'm sure LEGO and SEGA will announce something soon enough. What kind of LEGO Sonic products do you think are missing from the current lineup, that you'd like to see? Let us know in the comments section below! via SonicMerchNews View full story

Rumor Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Synopsis Reportedly Revealed Via Trade Publication [U]
Dreadknux posted a story in Media
The publication of a Hollywood trade magazine has apparently revealed plot details for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. The sequel isn't due to release in theaters until December 2024, but it sounds like we already may have an idea of what might happen and who may be involved. NOTE: This story contains potential SPOILERS for the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movies. Although nobody from the production team or Paramount has yet confirmed any of this information, you may want to avoid reading any further in the off-chance that the following details end up being true. Production Weekly - spotted by our good friends Sonic Paradise - the latest issue of which (#1311 - August 10, 2022) states that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is in a state of "Active Development". A synopsis of the movie's plot has also been published, the key details of which are below (we've re-written from Sonic Paradise's translation of the text for ease of reading): We already know, thanks to the Sonic 2 mid-credits sequence, that Shadow the Hedgehog (Project Shadow) will make an appearance in the third movie. This is the first time we're hearing of Amy and Big's appearance, as well as what sounds like Metal Sonic too. What do you think of these possible story beats? Let us know in the comments section below! Source: Production Weekly [Paywall] via Sonic Paradise- 66 comments

Retail Listings Sonic Frontiers Merch Leaked, DLC and Release Date Potentially Confirmed
nuckles87 posted a story in Games
Well, we’ve got another Sonic Frontiers leak, this time via what appears to be a flier for merch. It’s hard to tell, since everything is either in Chinese or Japanese and translation tools aren’t much help. via Twitter Bare minimum, the image below gives us a new, low res look at some character art from the game. Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and the kocos are all featured, and there appear to be two silhouettes with question marks, which may be pointing towards to other yet-to-be-revealed characters for the game. These appear to be prizes for something. The merch has a release date of November 15, which could point towards a release date of the game itself. Sonic games usually hit around this time of year, so it wouldn’t be especially surprising. The flier also makes mention of DLC, which could confirm that Sonic Frontiers will have some. Check out the flier below: The above flier came from a Taiwanese retailer. You can find it here.- 24 comments

Sonic Team Games Dust Off Those Maracas, Samba de Amigo: Party Central is Coming to Switch
nuckles87 posted a story in SEGA
A new Nintendo Direct is hitting in just a few hours, but we already have a leak from it, and it’s from a franchise longtime Sonic Team fans should be familiar with: Samba de Amigo! The series is back with a brand new game for Switch, Samba de Amigo: Party Central. The game will release for the Nintendo Switch on June 30 for $39.99 USD. It is unknown if the game will hit other platforms. Update: 8 Feb 2023 @ 22:20 UK: The game was officially announced on tonight's Nintendo Direct, with all of the information already revealed via the below leak that we originally reported. Some new screenshots without a weird Snoopy watermark can be found below. Original story continues below. The leak comes courtesy of Twitter user Snoopytech, who leaked various images and the game’s description on their account earlier today. The rhythm game will feature 40 songs from a variety of genres including Latin, EDM, pop, and others. Much like previous Samba de Amigo games, more music will be made available via DLC. The game will also feature an “World Party,” an online multiplayer mode for up to 8 people. It will also be possible to customize the game’s characters with new outfits and accessories, and play a variety of mini-games and challenges. Below are watermarked screenshots from Snoopytech. We will be replacing these images with official versions once the game has been formerly announced:-

What's this? What's this? It seems like SEGA Europe has let slip a detail about the next Sonic the Hedgehog game in a leaked release listing. Among a number of planned SEGA releases - many as-yet unannounced - there is mention of a game called 'Sonic Hero' for Gamecube in 'November'. The leak was covered by Computer and Video Games, who wrote, "If accurate, a broad range of hitherto unannounced titles is on its way to all next-gen formats by the end of the year, including some big-name sequels. With Sega Europe having just effectively re-opened for business as a European publishing force, the leaked information, if true, is likely to cause rather painful internal headaches." Here's the full list: Phantasy Star Online - Xbox (May 16) Virtua Fighter 4 - Evolution - PS2 (July) Otogi - Xbox (August) Puyo Pop - PS2, Xbox, GC (August) Phantasy Star Online Card Battle - Xbox, GC (October) Altered Beast - PS2 (October) Initial D - PS2 (October) Headhunter 2 - PS2 (October) Giant Egg - GC (October/November) Sonic Hero - GC (November) Sega Rally 3 - PS2 (Q1 2004) Mister Golf - PS2 (Q1 2004) Management Soccer - PS2 (Q1 2004) Apparently, SEGA Europe spokespeople are saying, "This is a rumour and we don't comment on rumours," but CVG says its own sources are saying this leak is accurate. Time will tell, we suppose - not long until E3 when we get to see for ourselves!
