The Blue Speed II being an exclusive for Sega Account owners is a good incentive to get fans to sign up... but I believe they could've done better.

For example, you know Mii Studio and how it's exclusive with a Nintendo account?
What if on Sega Account, or at least on www.sonicthehedgehog.com and/or https://sonic.sega.jp a section exclusive to Sega Account owners, where you can design a Sonic Avatar. And that this Avatar can be a playable character in various Sonic games such as CrossWorlds or Rumble.

At least that's how I would get about with it. have Avatars to Sega Accounts as Miis to Nintendo Accounts.

Selected regions only they said, but I believe UK and North America is safe.

That would be cool. Especially if the Avatar could use acessories from many SEGA Related games before.
Kid Chameleon hat or space harrier outfit may be.

Highest Score Arcade is officially back open after a "huge show of support from the Salisbury community and beyond."
Following a make-or-break weekend, the independent arcade raised more than £3,000 in just two days, securing its immediate future.
Owner James Petherick shared a personal message thanking everyone who visited, donated, and helped spread the word, with support coming not only from Salisbury and Wiltshire but even as far as international supporters. He said: "We’ve been blown away by the generosity and kindness people have shown. Locals, businesses, and supporters around the world have ..."

An Arcade racer designed by Yu Suzuki, that was not only a commercial success, but became one of the best selling games of its time.

A version of the game which he hopes has put right "one of the nastiest Amiga arcade ports".
And here's the latest "An optimized port of SEGA's 1986 arcade game OutRun, utilizing the original 68000 assembly code, to mid-spec Commodore Amiga computers. Whilst small compromises have been made to accommodate differences between the arcade hardware and the Amiga - this looks and plays almost identical to the original. This is not an ...
