Here's an "in-depth analysis" of already leaked info.

Also, prophets commence

Sega is majorly pissed about all this stuff getting leaked, if anyone hadn't guessed.

I'll throw in some info:
PS3 and Wii versions of the game confirmed. X360 version is not confirmed.
The game runs on the Sonic Rush engine.

After reading some of the comments, a Brawl Subsite would be a nice. Adding Melee and Smash64 would also work out if added eventually.

The winner of the poll is announced. It wasn't my favorite, but at least it wasn't one of the weirder ones.

http://blogs.sega.com/sonic/2008/03/19/zoah-far-zoah-good-the-winner-is-announced/

I'm not sure if favoritism took a part of the poll, because of SEGA Nerds coming up with the name "Zoah." I don't really like it because it reminds my of Zora from the Zelda series. =(

Gaming and Grazing / Re: A simple poll, but really a good quetion

« on: March 10, 2008, 08:03:22 pm »

No kidding.....but being on a sonic board doesn't automatically mean everyone's favorite is Sonic. People occasionally are involved with things they like...even if they aren't their favorite! Imagine that...

Because Sonic's world has many different, distinct environments. ..At least the 2D games do.
They show colorful levels with many winding curves; plus lots of space to move abound. You can easily set up a house in one of them with the proper layout of your choosing and avoiding obstacles. I would seriously live there, but there are others that are better, but only by a small amount.
I choose Zelda as I like the mystic/medieval type of environment more, though.

General Sonic / Re: Amy needs glasses. :(

« on: January 06, 2008, 01:45:34 am »

In the United States, about 7 percent of the male population – or about 10.5 million men – and 0.4 percent of the female population either cannot distinguish red from green, or see red and green differently (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, 2006). It has been found that more than 95 percent of all variations in human color vision involve the red and green receptors in male eyes.

Genetic red-green color blindness affects men much more often than women, because the genes for the red and green color receptors are located on the X chromosome, of which men have only one and women have two. Such a trait is called sex-linked. Females (46, XX) are red-green color blind only if both their X chromosomes are defective with a similar deficiency, whereas males (46, XY) are color blind if their single X chromosome is defective.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorblind

The rate of finding a female colorblind is an extreme rarity, more so than other traits. I guess my science teacher was wrong (!) Which is why I worded it like that. =/

Only males can be colorblind, anyway. No female can get colorblindness. Hedgehogs are a different story.
Although, these are anthropomorphic hedgehogs, as in "human-like". So I doubt Amy is colorblind anyway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropomorphic

Any re-released version of this game (official or unofficial) that has been modified to include Luigi, has improved or modified physics, has a modified camera that allows leftwards scrolling,  or which creates a functional change to level layouts, is not permitted for use in competition.

I'm still confused with which versions are acceptable. By looking at the "improved or modified physics" part of it, how does the original version actually play? It seems that many re-releases change those things.

-Tiger Game.com
-Sonic Mega Collection
-Sonic Mega Collection Plus
-Sonic Gems Collection
-Sonic Genesis
-XBLA
-Virtual Console
-ROM
-Mobile Phone
-Ipod

Yeah... <.<

Now, it seems that SEGA is just shoving the game down everybody's throats. We know the game exists. It seems that if you ask any random person, they would have played the game on some system; and i'm pretty sure that they would of had like, 3 copies of the game lieing around somewhere.
