Ladies and Gentlemen… Na, who am I kidding, Gentlemen and Gentlemen! The time is almost upon us!
In a matter of hours it will be 2011, and with 2011 comes not one anniversary of great importance amongst Sega fans everywhere but two! Yes, both Sonic the Hedgehog and Puyo Pop turn 20 this year! To celebrate, on the stroke of midnight, (Japanese time) Sega has already began the hype.
Sega have released a press statement suggesting that they have a number of projects lined up for both the Sonic the Hedgehog and Puyo Pop franchises in 2011. They weren’t specific on what these ‘projects’ entail but I suspect they will hold events as well as release celebratory games.
You can visit the Sonic anniversary site HERE.
If the next Sonic game is as good if not better then Sonic Colours and we get another great Puyo Pop game, Yakuza 4 and Yakuza of the End, Valkryia Chronicles 3, Bayonetta 2, Shogun 2, Creative Assembly’s new action game and of course Phantasy Star Online 2… Well shit, 2011 is going to be a sweet year for us Sega fans!
So happy new year from Segabits, have a good one and I’ll see you next year folks! I’m off to get wasted!

Gentlemen and Gentelmen :P.
cool logo! and I like that little image of old school and new school Sonic below. Modern Sonic next to an old school item monitor?! Could this be a hint at the Sonic Anniversary game?
Skeptic. I also don't like the picture
At least "classic" Sonic is being represented.
You know? for the 20th anniversary they should remake Sonic 1-3, same everything except Sonic 4 graphics lol.
That'd be nice 🙂
If everything is the same how is it a remake?
Wow, 20 years. I remember when I was a 3rd grader in elementary school and I got my first Sonic 1 genesis bundle system for Christmas. Good times!
You and me both Fuji! In fact, I was a 3rd grader at the time Sonic 1 came out and got the bundle for Christmas as well! Crazy.
