Check out the trailer below!
And here’s a look at the movie that’s slated for release later this winter:
Some of you may recall the name Pokelabo from the release of SINoALICE by Yoko Taro, however, it recently had its end of service celebrations a couple months ago.
Subquest: “Man Stuck from the Right to Left”Side story that can only be unlocked by changing the camera angle.This subquest continues from the previous one.
Moody Katsuyama is known for his over the top “moody” songs with absolutely ridiculous lyrics which are sung completely a cappella. To this day, he has several variations of the song, but this is typically the song that most people think of when they hear his name.
One of the most loved video game franchises from Japan, Sonic the Hedgehog, has had a tough time in Hollywood, but even after some misfortunate design choices and miraculous divine intervention, the movies have become something of a cult hit, even on the shores of Japan.
This just in, Keanu Reeves has been cast as Shadow, the dark and sullen antagonist next to the protagonist and “speed of light” Sonic the Hedgehog, in the upcoming SONIC 3 feature film.
Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game series and media franchise developed by Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohshima, and Hirokazu Yasuhara for SEGA. The franchise centers around Sonic, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog and his fight against the evil Doctor Eggman, a mad scientist.
The series has seen over a dozen separate video game releases along with cartoon adaptions throughout the years, most notably being the two animated series released in tandem, one being more comical while the other was much more dark in tone.
In the 2020 feature film, the original 3D model of the titular character Sonic shocked and horrified long time fans, becoming such a veritable tsunami of negative feedback that the studio had to redesign the models to be more accurate to the original source material. Even Yuji Naka, the creator of Sonic, was generally pleased with the redesigns, but he rightfully pointed out the odd feeling of Sonic’s eyes being entirely separate as opposed to the original designs for the games.
“Here’s the trailer with the new design for Sonic movie. The character feels more like Sonic now that they added the gloves, but his eyes are still separate. I can’t help but feel like something’s off. Even still, I’m looking forward to the release of the film.”
I think all long-time fans of the franchise will be very pleased to hear of Keanu’s involvement on the movie, so let’s just hope that the CG crew, and the funding backing them up, don’t pull another 2020 Sonic…

For those who have shared a long-time relationship with video games will undoubtedly understand the emotion that is conveyed in the latest commercial for the upcoming Seiken Densetsu VISIONS of MANA.
EDITORIAL
The times may change, but our fond memories of the past remain unwavering. Although the past may hold both happy and unhappy memories, those regarding our childhood past times often remains part of our lives into adulthood and beyond. Some may find these things nothing more than a flight of fancy or indulging our inner child, but to others it means so much more.
It’s these long-standing video game franchises that give us gamers something to look forward to, something to get excited about, not just because it’s a new game to play after work or school, but because it encapsulates our so much more than a few hours in our past. Those moments are what made us and continue to shape us into the coming future.
We remember the desperate yet hopeful trek up Death’s Peak in Chrono Trigger in the attempt to turn back time, we rejoiced at the sudden appearance of a familiar face who joined our team in the sequel Chrono Cross, and still to this day over 25 years later, we wonder if there will ever be another installment in the franchise. That’s why we’re always filled with joy and wonder whenever a new game is announced in a series that we’ve loved for so long.
This new advertisement captures the feeling that so many of us feel about our most treasured games.
The advertisement takes a look back at the original releases of what’s commonly known as the Seiken or Mana series, originally by Square, now Square Enix. Beginning in 1991 with the release of Seiken Densetsu on the Nintendo Game Boy, which had its name changed to Final Fantasy Adventure in the West, the series continued in quick succession with Seiken Densetsu II in 1993 and Seiken Densetsu III in 1995. The series has seen multiple releases ever since.
VISIONS of MANA is due out this summer for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Windows, and Steam. Stay tuned for further updates!
