SGD08: Sonic Unleashed won’t feature hedgehog/human romance
Posted by Chris. Filed under Chris. Tagged with SGD08, Sonic Unleashed.
Possibly the most disturbing aspect of any Sonic game (or any game ever made for that matter) was the creepy relationship Sonic had with Elise in the next-gen version of Sonic The Hedgehog. Fortunately, it looks like we’ll be spared any more bestiality as a Sega rep confirmed Sonic won’t be getting any in Sonic Unleashed.
“I promise there will be no humans making out with Sonic,” a Sega rep told the MTV Multiplayer blog during Sega Gamer’s Day.
What’s that I hear? I think it’s the collective sighs of relief from thousands of Sega Nerds throughout the world.

SGD08: It’s over
Posted by George. Filed under George, North America. Tagged with SGD08.
Everything must come to an end, and so did Sega Gamer’s Day. I was sort of sour that we didn’t get announcements for new games, with so many that we already know are out there like the Silicon Knights horror game and the Aliens RPG. I was hoping Sega would unveil those this year, and wished they’d have some playable stuff on Yakuza 2. Besides that, it was a good event. I’d like to thank Julian and the PR team that put the event together. I hope you guys do it again next year.
Sega Nerds is a site for you guys, the readers, so I hope you enjoyed reading our updates as much as we enjoyed writing them. Remember to listen to the Nerdcast next week, since I’ll most likely be on it. I hope you guys enjoy that. We’ll be talking about about the Sega Gamer’s Day event and other manly things.
SGD08: Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood hands on

If anyone fights over what they think Sonic should be, it’s definitely Sonic fans. I swear, he has some of the most passionate fans on the planet. However, I’m not going to judge Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood as a Sonic game. I mean, I already knew it wasn’t going to be fast!
So does a turn-based RPG work with Sonic characters?
SGD08: Valkyria Chronicles preview
Posted by George. Filed under George, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with event, SGD08, Valkyria Chronicles.
I’ve been eagerly anticipating Valkyria Chronicles. I couldn’t wait for a chance to play it in English. I mean, I can’t import it… I don’t know how to speak or write Japanese! Sega thought it would be funny to make me mad. They showed off the retail Japanese version at the event. The worst part is they didn’t let us play it.
However, I learned a lot at about the game! For example, I learned that I must have this game when it comes out.
SGD08: Valkyria Chronicles features Japanese and English voices
Posted by George. Filed under George, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with event, SGD08, Valkyria Chronicles.
Good news for all Sega Nerds out there: Valkyria Chronicles will feature both the English dub tracks and Japanese voice tracks in one package, which should appease everyone. Kudos to Sega for this!
I hope we won’t hear anything about bad voice work, since now you can always switch it to the Japanese voices (or maybe English depending)! In the end, everyone wins.
Check back soon for a full preview of Valkyria Chronicles!
SGD08: Our arrival
Posted by George. Filed under George, North America. Tagged with Aliens: Colonial Marines, Alpha Protocol, event, Samba De Amigo, SGD08.
When we walked in there was a person at this checkout thing. He was wearing a suit and looked all snazzy. He showed us to the elevator and told us to take it to the 6th floor, where the event was being held. We got there and stood in line to sign the embargo. They told us to pick the color of our wrist band; I wanted pink, but they said that we couldn’t get that color and it was reserved. I guess they put it on the table to cocktease us, so we got orange.
Once everyone got into the room for the event, they had drinks and coffee set up for us. They later told us to sit down since there was going to be a speech. It was suppose to start at 9 a.m., but people still kept on coming in way past 9.
SGD08: Samba de Amigo hands on

Samba de Amigo is one of those underrated party games. It’s a great game to make a complete fool of yourself after a few drinks, but guess what? You don’t care, cause you’re having so much fun.
I don’t like the game’s music or the type of music in it, but it really grows on you. I’m glad that Gearbox decided to give this game a second chance. Everyone was afraid that they would screw up. Did they?

SGD08: Golden Axe: Beast Rider preview
Posted by George. Filed under George, Microsoft Xbox 360, Multi-platform, Preview, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with event, Golden Axe Beast Rider, SGD08.
I don’t know what it is about Golden Axe: Beast Rider, but there are a lot of people out there looking forward to it. I guess that happens every time Sega revives an old IP. Everyone in the forum so far has mixed reactions on this game. Some say it looks horrible, others good, and most are on the edge.
Like with Sonic Unleashed, I didn’t actually get a chance to play it myself. A Sega rep took the reins, so to speak. Sure it’s not as good as getting to play it myself, but it’s still more than we’ve gotten since it was first announced!
Hit the jump for the rest of the preview.
SGD08: Golden Axe: Beast Rider sequel in the works?
Posted by George. Filed under George, Microsoft Xbox 360, Multi-platform, News, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with event, Golden Axe: Beast Riders, SGD08.
When asked about the playability of Gilius Thunderhead and Ax Battler in the upcoming Golden Axe: Beast Rider, a PR person said no. But then he said something I didn’t expect: that the characters’ stories interweave with each other’s and they will finally meet up at the end, setting up a sequel.
First of all I was surprised that he said this, because it’s usually hard to get a PR person to tell you any info at all. But to say that they’re already planning a sequel?
He also said that the sequel will be focused more on multiplayer modes… So it sounds like the sequel is already going to fix complaints about a game that isn’t even out!
The full Golden Axe: Beast Rider preview is coming next on Sega Nerds. Don’t touch that dial!
SGD08: The Incredible Hulk hands on
Posted by George. Filed under George, Microsoft Xbox 360, Multi-platform, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, PC, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with event, Hands on, Hulk, SGD08.
Sega had a Hulk booth, and I didn’t even notice it. It was the last thing I saw at the event. There was a constant group of people playing it in a little huddle, laughing when they threw cars at people.Let me start off by saying that I never played Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Licensed games aren’t really my thing! But I have heard people talk about Hulk:UD, so I sorta know how it plays and whatnot.
