Sega To Celebrate Sonic's 20th Anniversary With New Projects

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Sega's iconic platform hero Sonic the Hedgehog, and the company is planning to commemorate it with a number of "new projects."

Japanese gaming blog Andriasang is reporting that a press release from Sega of Japan says that a number of different projects are in the works, but it is not specific as to what those projects are. We're sure that more Sonic games is a given -- Sega's not one to let a year go by without a healthy dose of Sonic -- but it could also indicate some promotional events or anniversary celebrations. Sega has also put up a Japanese Sonic 20th Anniversary website.

Either way, here's wishing the lil' blue furball a happy birthday.

It's also the 20th anniversary of Puyo Puyo, which -- no disrespect -- really doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
