Well I do like rock and roll music, and have a decent number of rock tunes in my iTunes, but for some reason I just really can't stand most Sonic rock music. Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog's soundtracks were not particularly enjoyable... except the Knuckles raps. Those were BOSS. <.<;

Sonic Adventure 2's soundtrack isn't my favourite in the franchise, though it does have some stand out tunes. Live & Learn and Escape from the City being the obvious ones.
And yeah, the Knuckles raps. :P

As for Shadow, again, not my favourite, but it has two of my favourite Sonic tracks (Sky Troops, which feels so vast, and Lost Impact, which is simply a beautiful piano piece). And the lyrical themes are catchy too.

At long last, Mario vs. Sonic vs. Mega Man. Or in my case, Luigi vs. Sonic vs. Mega Man. <.<;

Hmmm... so will they use the Studiopolis voice team? A fair number of them have quite a bit of experience with dubbing for TV shows (well, mostly anime). I think it would help the snarling parts of the fandom get used to the new voice cast if they still haven't yet. <.<;

It was confirmed on the Official Sonic Facebook page that the voice actors from the games (AKA Studiopolis) would reprise their roles in Sonic Boom.

Also, just in case I gave the wrong impression, I like the new Knuckles design from what we can see.

I think his height helps him be more distinguished. I don't feel every character needs the same build as Sonic, I think it's interesting that they are being more creative.

You can also notice subtle changes on the other characters. For example, it looks like Sonic may be wearing a sleeveless jacket, Marty McFly style. :P

If that bottom part is true, this is an instant watch. *brick'd*

Do we have any info about potential writers? Meh, it's too early probably. I'm one of the few people I know who really liked Pontac's & Graff's "cheesy, Saturday morning cartoon style" script for Colors. I wouldn't mind that at all... @.@

Sonic the Hedgehog, the iconic video game character who has brought his trademark speed and attitude to four TV series and more than 70 video games, is returning to television in his first-ever CG animated series in the fall 2014. The action packed comedy series aimed at children 6-11 will debut first on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and on CANAL J and GULLI in France, with a global rollout to follow. The initial order of 52 eleven-minute episodes is co-produced by SEGA of America Inc. and Genao Productions.

Sonic Boom is a character-driven comedy that leaves a trail of robot wreckage in its smoldering wake. The series centers on Sonic, his best friend and sidekick, Tails, their never-ending search for adventure, and their battles with Sonic’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman. Rounding out the ensemble are fan favorites Knuckles and Amy Rose, plus a rogue’s gallery of enemies—some familiar to Sonic fans and some brand-new.

Evan Baily, Donna Friedman Meir, and Jane McGregor, Executive Producers for SEGA, packaged the series, bringing together SEGA, Cartoon Network, and Genao Productions. Sandrine Nguyen and Boris Hertzog, Executive Producers for Genao, assembled a world-class lineup of partners in France, including broadcasters GULLI and CANAL J, Lagardere Entertainment Rights and Lagardère Active TV Licensing & New Business. Baily, Meir and Nguyen developed the series, and Hertzog and McGregor structured the financing and negotiated all the deals. Baily (formerly EVP of Production and Creative Affairs for Classic Media) and Co-Executive Producer Bill Freiberger (The Simpsons, Drawn Together) are showrunners. Takashi Iizuka, the head of Sonic Team and driving creative force behind the Sonic games, is overseeing the series to ensure that it’s true to the Sonic characters and universe.

“Sonic is the star of the SEGA universe and the stage is now set for him to shine like never before. By teaming up with world-class partners in television animation like Cartoon Network, Genao Productions and GULLI, we’re ensuring that the Sonic legacy will be introduced to a new generation of children across the globe,” said Hiroyuki Miyazaki, SEGA’s Chief Content Officer for Sonic.

“We wanted to strengthen our TV channels’ editorial content with strong brands. This is our new objective. Sonic is an enormously popular and unique character with all the qualities of an animation series’ great hero—humor, bravery, loyalty, inventiveness. We are extremely proud to welcome him across our kids and family channels at Lagardère Active and will activate across these channels to raise awareness and excitement for the new series,” said Caroline Cochaux, Head of Programs, Kids & Family Channels, Lagardère Active.

“Genao is thrilled to collaborate with SEGA on this amazing project and embark on new adventures with the fastest hedgehog in the world. It is so exciting to work on such a world-class brand,” said Sandrine Nguyen, Managing Director of Genao.

Emmanuelle Bouilhaguet, Managing Director of Lagardere Entertainment Rights added “It is an amazing experience to be associated to such a powerful property with professional partners. International broadcasters are seeking for strong comedy and franchise based series and Sonic Boom is the perfect fit!”

“On the New Business & Licensing Side, we are proud and excited to handle the representation of Sonic which counts among the leading characters loved by kids. Thanks to our 360° platform which includes Digital Activities, Magazines, Indoor Parks, Grass Root events, we will push Sonic and the Consumer Products to a new level,” said Benoit Roque, Head of Lagardere Active TV Licensing & New Business.

SEGA is actively seeking partners in support of the new series launch across a range of industries including broadcast and licensing. In terms of television and digital distribution, Lagardere Entertainment Rights holds worldwide rights excluding the U.S. and Asia (but including Japan); SEGA Corporation will manage Asia (excluding Japan); Baily, Meir and McGregor will manage the US through McGregor’s company Jane McGregor, Inc. Licensing support will be spearheaded by Lagardère Active TV Licensing & New Business in France and SEGA in all other territories.

Sonic the Hedgehog first appeared as a videogame character in June 1991 and instantly became an icon for a generation of gamers. Defined by his super-fast speed and cool attitude, in the years since he first raced on to videogame consoles Sonic has become a true global phenomenon with over 140 million videogames sold or downloaded worldwide across consoles, PC’s, mobile phones and tablets. SEGA’s iconic blue blur has also gone on to enjoy incredible success in many licensed areas, such as toys, apparel, comics and animation. This year SEGA announced an exciting three title exclusive partnership with Nintendo for the Sonic the Hedgehog videogame franchise. The highly anticipated Sonic Lost World™ will be the first title to launch under this agreement and will be available in stores later this year for Wii U™ and Nintendo 3DS™ platforms.

Okay, soooo, I'm not liking this cartoon so far....

Great, now I'll never know whether someone's talking about this cartoon or the skylander...

Interesting. Yeah, I don't quite think it closes the debate. But it's neat. Also, I always found it strange that both of the levels that represented Sonic 3 & Knuckles in Generations were from the Sonic & Knuckles half of the pack. Yeah, Sky Sanctuary and Death Egg always stick out to me, but overall I thought the levels from the the Sonic 3 half left more of a lasting impression, and I honestly thought one would make it into the 3DS version. Maybe they couldn't do that because of Jackson's involvement and all the legal issues that could bring up. I know SEGA doesn't like reusing tracks from Sonic 1 & 2 because they have to pay Masato Nakamura for the rights...

Meh, I'm just rambling at this point. @.@

^Nope.

sonic exlusive to the wii-u.... i have said farewell to sonic noaw, sonic had a good run as a game franchises, but everything come to an end. rip sonic 2013.
