SEGA has announced that pre-orders for Sonice Generations have surpassed pre-order numbers for any Sonic game in history.
The firm also announced the corporate partners which will be helping SEGA celebrate Sonic’s 20th Anniversary this year:
- Six Flags Partnership, throughout October: Nationwide theme park brand implementation with Sonic Generations game zones for hands-on experience and marketing messaging across the Six Flags Digital Networks. (I was actually at Six Flags last weekend and saw the campaign in action).
- Sonic Generations of Skate, October 22: The nationally broadcast (November 25 on FOX Sports Net) professional skateboarding tournament featuring legendary skaters Steve Caballero, Tony Hawk, Pierre Luc Gagnon, Andy Macdonald, Mitchie Brusco and more, united skateboarders from multiple generations to compete in an event celebrating Sonic Generations and Sonic’s 20th Anniversary. (Venice Beach, CA)
- Custom Sonic Playground, October 28: SEGA and KaBOOM! have partnered to build a custom Sonic-themed playground for kids in East Oakland, CA at the Youth UpRising community center. (Oakland, CA)
- Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – November 24: Modern Sonic will be making his debut as a helium balloon in this year’s parade. In 1993, Classic Sonic was the first-ever video game character in the annual event. (New York, NY)
Sonic Generations is out next week for PS3 and Xbox360 Xbox 360, and November 22 for 3DS and PC.
Thanks, Gematsu.
