The Zoah Wins!

The Zoah!

We are pleased to announce that Sega Nerds’ submission into the Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood Race for a Name contest has won!

After many weeks of anxious anticipation and pleading to everyone, the votes have been tallied and The Zoah has reigned supreme! Yes, The Zoah will be the official name for the new enemy race featured in the upcoming Sonic Chronicles game.

We want to thank the Sega Nerds community, the rest of the Sega fanbase and everyone else who voted for The Zoah and made our dreams a reality. We’ll all now stand together in Sega history for the rest of time, and it’s you sexy people who made that happen.

So a MASSIVE “Thank You” to everyone who voted for us; we really do appreciate it all!

We look forward to our continued takeover of the Sega company. We’re starting small, but we’re now working our way to the top, and when we do, it’s Dreamcast 2 with Shenmue 3 at launch, baby!

Thank You!

Here’s the full press release for more information:

IT’S THE ZOAH

Sonic Chronicles Competition Winner Announced

LONDON (18^th March, 2008) - SEGA Europe Ltd. today confirmed that the recent competition, A Race To Name, where Sonic The Hedgehog fans could vote upon names for a new race selected by key Sonic fansites, and European gaming websites, finally has a winner. After thousands of votes were cast, it became clear that it was going to be a closely fought race between The Zoah, The Gravitus and The Dusk. Fans were hastily casting votes right up until the last minute but in the end only a handful of votes separated the contenders, and like all competitions it could only have one winner with The Zoah prevailing as the fan-favourite.

Congratulations to http://www.seganerds.com/ who originally suggested The Zoah which will now be included in the forthcoming, hotly tipped, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood^TM for the Nintendo DS^TM system. The Zoah will be featured as a new enemy race for Sonic The Hedgehog to pit his wits against in 2008.

Developed by industry admired story-telling specialists, BioWare, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is an RPG adventure set to take the DS by storm this Autumn.

Thats a pretty good marketing ploy on Sega’ part. I’ll pick the game up to see that, if for no other reason. Shame they didn’t advertise the contest more loudly.
