Well guys, I’d thought that I better introduce myself here at FFM. I’m known around here as CrimsonHedgie, some of you may know me. I was around when FastFeet decided go independent but I usually went AWOL, but now I’m back for good (whether or not that’s a good thing I’ll leave to you XP).

So what can you expect from me here? Well I’ll be covering some news in the world of SEGA as well as some retro goodness in articles. In the next few weeks you’ll also see a bit of Video media from me also. So lets gets started, shall we?

Sega Confirms Hashimoto’s Departure from Sonic Team
As its been reported in most SEGA and Sonic releated sites, it has been confirmed that Yoshihisa Hashimoto has left Sega and joined Square-Enix. He was one of the staff that was partially responsible for Sonic Unleashed, as well as working on many previous Sonic Games including – Sonic Advance, Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Pinball Party. While it is shame to see him leave, ultimately people have to do what best for them, and we here are FFM wish him the best in the future.

As with all XBLA games that gives you the usual 200 points. But lets be honest.. I’m quite sure why anyone would buy this game, even if it does connect with Sonic 3 somehow to make Sonic 3 & Knuckles, that’s a game that should of been on the SEGA Megadrive: Ultimate Collection to begin with.. I’ll just stick with Sonic Jam, thanks.

FastFeet talks to TSSZNEWS! Fans on Friday interview
In the last few days FastFeet here has done a interview with TSSZNEWS for their Fans on Friday segment. They discuss about FastFeet Media (obviously) and Sonic in general, and while he does answer many questions, he seemed to forget about the most obvious.. Amy or Rouge!! =B Umm yeh.. Well anyhow, head over to the interview and read it up. Quite a interesting read if I do say so myself.

Well thats it for this update, thanks to TSSZNEWS for the source of news. And I’ll see you guys around.
