Sonic The Hedgehog Turns 17
Today, June 23rd, is considered Sonic The Hedgehog's birthday.  Since it was today in 1991 that the Sonic first debuted on the Sega Genesis and to the world.  I though it would be an interesting idea, if Brian doesn't mind, to post comments to Sonic and wishes for a happy birthday.  This is to show our support and I guess it could be a petition of sorts for Sonic DVDs to come. 

Mostly though this topic is to express how Sonic has influenced some of us as well as being a creative outpost for an interesting discussion.

My birthday wishes for this blue hedgehog is first, have a happy birthday.

Second, may your (Sonic) upcoming games bring you more praise and respect from those who have doubted you or lost hope over the years. As well as establish a stronger fan base and all the while keep pleasing the fans you have had since 1991.

You have come a long way from your 2-D platform games on the Genesis, Master and Sega's handheld Gamegear. Even though you may have lost your way while transitioning to 3-D every now and then, you are still a force to be reckoned with. As we've all seen with the inclusion of you in SSBB. An appearance that was brought about due to the demand of fans who voted you the top most wanted character.

You have appeared in many media types, some good (Dic's Satam series, the Archie and UK comics) some bad (The live stage show in Sega World Australia, Sonic 06). 

You have had many types of remaginings from those who enjoy playing your games.  Such as the four book series by a colection of writers under the nickname Martin Adams.  1993 brought out martins Sonic the Hedgehog in Robotnik's Laboratory, Sonic the Hedgehog in the Fourth Dimension, Sonic the Hedgehog and the Silicon Warriors, and in 1994 Sonic the Hedgehog in Castle Robotnik.  These series were the first to bring you together in Freedom Fighter fashion and create the world that led to the Sonic the Comic UK comic series, which was all based on the book Stay Sonic.

1993 also saw your debut on TV, and definently not the last, in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog from Dic. 

While in 2006 your father and creator (no notJules Hedgehog) Yuji Naka left you in Sonic Teams hands while he set off to form a new company.  Even though he left you are as sucessful as ever, with a comic series aproaching the 200 milestone, with multiple spin offs and games coming out that could bring about a new chance for you to take the spotlight from Nintendo's plummer. 

You, as well as we, have much too look foward too.  May you keep running strong and proud.

I'm the dude with the attitude, my shiny blue quills, and power red shoes.
