A 2001 press kit containing hundreds of images and a 36-page booklet promoting Sonic the Hedgehog's 10th Anniversary from Spain has been discovered, featuring long lost promotional images of Sonic Adventure 2. Community media archivist AstroSeedP shared the discovery of the retro media kit on social media, noting that it took some time to recover all of the files as the CD was partially unreadable. The full ISO is now available on the Internet Archive, and includes high-resolution PSDs of common Sonic Adventure-era character artwork, key art and logos - alongside a wealth of officially-captured screenshots of Sonic Adventure 2, many of which have never been seen before. We've included a couple in this article, but check out the Archive page for the full monty: The booklet itself offers a deep dive (in Spanish) the entire history of the Sonic the Hedgehog game series from 1991 to 2001, along with a lengthy overview of the Sonic Team and some words from then-studio head Yuji Naka. I have to say, this is all making me rather nostalgic - Sonic Adventure 2 was the first major Sonic release that this very website covered, waaaaay back in the day, so I personally remember a lot of these images as they were being distributed. It's very cool to see new media for this classic game being discovered, and I recommend everyone check out the full package for all the info! Original Post Content: View full story
