Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka recently claimed that Shadow wasn't inspired by Dragon Ball Z's Vegeta, despite concept art revealing that to be the case.

Sega recently attended Anime Expo and hosted a showcase focused on Sonic x Shadow Generations as part of the event. Beyond giving us our first look at the Dark Beginnings anime, the panel also featured a Q&A between fans and Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka. During the showcase, Iizuka was asked by a fan if it was true that Shadow was inspired by Dragon Ball Z's Vegeta.
Although it's been clear for some time that Shadow was inspired by Vegeta, Iizuka surprisingly replied to the question by claiming that Vegeta wasn't an inspiration and that it was actually characters like Spawn who acted as a key influence. The Spawn comparison is an accurate one, but fans have ...

SEGA Wants You To Forget Shadow The Hedgehog Was In Sonic 06

Even though it's pretty funny that Sega is trying to pretend that Sonic 06 didn't happen, some fans have pointed out that some of Shadow's best characterisation actually happened in that game. Others have argued that Sonic 06 technically retcons itself and therefore shouldn't be mentioned, but it doesn't ignore the fact that it's been purposefully missed out of a summary of games involving Shadow.
In fairness, the summary also misses out Shadow's appearance in the original Sonic Generations and in Forces, so it's clearly not meant to be definitive. That doesn't make it any less jarring that ...

Sure that's suck but that has nothing to do with the reason why a job can be boring.

No, but golf is still boring, it just takes up space as well.

I pre-order the Switch version, the collector's edition with Shadow figure one.
I already have Sonic Generations too but I want to play it in handheld mode and it wasn't supported by Steam Deck.

I'm just a PC gamer and don't have any modern consoles.

Kinda getting tired of all this Shadow this and that.

[Berto]

I'm just a PC gamer and don't have any modern consoles.

Lucky you, I wish I still have my PC.
It's not working anymore and can't afford to buy a new one right now.

If it's "Dreamcast Shadow" I'll flip my $#17 over the fact it isn't Dreamcast Sonic.

It could be Emerl too.

And I don't need pancakes for it.

Turned out pancakes requirement just means for "early adopter", not for "exclusivivity"

$35? Better be a working Mega Drive at that pirce for a small thing.

Nah, too small to have a working Mega Drive, and even Mega Drive Mini didn't cost that low.

It was a pretty awesome clip! I hope to see the rest soon.

Release date is Fall 2024.

Kinda getting tired of all this Shadow this and that.

Too bad I bet you'll see more Shadow from this point. At least until the third movie airing.

Are you replying to SegaBits forums by phone or console? I recall a time I only had a Wii U to use for internet. Wasn't fun.

It could be Emerl too.

Eeh maybe. Though how his gameplay would fit in SXSG I dunno.

Well it was obvious it wouldn't be exclusive, it would've been unfair to interneational players to tease us with DLCs we can't have.

Nah, too small to have a working Mega Drive, and even Mega Drive Mini didn't cost that low.

Made of real gold then.

Nice!

Sometimes by phone but mostly from my office's laptop (don't tell them though).
There are no games in it, every app installed must be done by administrator.

Eeh maybe. Though how his gameplay would fit in SXSG I dunno.

Well, it still could be just Shadow with Emerl's skin.

Well it was obvious it wouldn't be exclusive, it would've been unfair to interneational players to tease us with DLCs we can't have.

Yeah but I thought it would be a paid DLC. Turned out it's free.

Sonic Team Head Takashi Iizuka Wants to Make a Sonic RPG Before He Retires from Sega

He emphasized his self-reflective shock at how the studio hasn’t produced a Sonic RPG in three decades. The only Sonic RPG release was the infamous DS title Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood by BioWare in 2008.
Specifics on this potential RPG project weren’t stated, but Iizuka has years to work on such a title before he retires from Sega. With the company’s ties to RGG Studio and Atlus, the feasibility is ...

That sucks, but don't worry, I won't grass to your boss.

Well, it still could be just Shadow with Emerl's skin.

Meh, true. Better than nothing I suppose.

Yeah but I thought it would be a paid DLC. Turned out it's free.

Probably as an apology for no pancakes.

"We are desert people. We value water, not gold."

I doubt the ornament is made of water.

They are from bronze and silver.
No no, the literal silver, not that Silver.

Well, they are Sonic fans, not Iizuka fans.
