Watched the Sonic 2 movie over the weekend and it was a hoot. Looking forward to the 3rd. Given the initially outrageous but ultimately fantastic voice casting of Idris Elba as Knuckles, who do we think Shadow is gonna be?
I'm voting Nicolas Cage
Keanu Reeves
Ehh, giving his performance in Toy Story 4, I don't think he's really up for voice acting. To my memory, there was nothing really notable about his voice work in that movie that would set him apart from anyone else doing that role. Whereas it feels someone doing Knuckles other than Elba would be very noticeable.
He did good enough in Cyberpunk, though he really just has to play a narcissistic tool for the most part.
Although honestly, "PG-rated Johnny Silverhand" would work for Shadow's voice tone.
Jensen Ackles would be a solid pick.
Shit, I just realized we'll never get that formerly-inevitable Lance Reddick-voiced Sonic character now.
I mean it makes perfect sense, Angry Birds is a complex physics based game that isn’t incredibly easy to reproduce, and Rovio are at the height of their relevance. No, I kid, they’ve made some others games, such as… let me google… ah yes, one of those games where you shoot a ball at some other balls and if they’re the same they both disappear.
I guess it must be for their knowledge of mobile games, and then Sega will make some mobile games with their own crews.

The IP and movies are most likely what they really want I doubt anyone remembers the games anymore
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
a whole ton of confidential 1996-97 documents (272 pages worth) from Sega of America just dropped out of nowhere onto SegaRetro, the big Sega wiki
Really crazy stuff, including marketing plans and suggestions, internal emails from executives like Tom Kalinske, comparisons between Saturn and PlayStation, release calendars, and more. I don't know if I can link the document here but folks have dug out some interesting stuff:
The remaining major notes are emails of Kalinske wanting to sell the Saturn at $149 with a packed-in modem, so they could undercut PSX and change gears for Sega by treating them as futuristic and online-forward. Sounds mighty familiar..
