Thanks op. I really dig these kinds of books. Bummed that I missed the Megaman X book that's like $80+ now.

This sounds like a MUST for TRUE Sonic fans!

Thanks for the heads up! I think I'll get it closer to release.

Hardcover? 300 pages of Sonic? Well, shit. Ordered.

Thanks, OP!

They're being reprinted dunno when. The classic series/zero series and okami book have been reprited already and are back down to $20

Since this is Udon and all we can expect this at some point next year... lol

I thought the part "Celebrating over 20 years as SEGA's official mascot" was kinda funny... because you know, Sonic sucked for most of those years and there really isn't much of celebrate.

*Puts on flame retardant suit.*

Thanks OP! I've been waiting for this to get translated to English. I'm super pumped.

No ChrisChan chapter, no buy.

I bet this book has a sad ending.

Oooooo! I might have to get this. How do pre-orders work on Amazon, especially if I use a gift card?

wait i always thought i was the same age as sonic, he's a year younger than me.
Now i feel old. I might just order this book.

nice, i preordered it without hesitation

wow, since when does udon print hardcovers? took them long enough. i'll start buying their books in the future as long as this continues.

Last I heard, Sonic the Hedgehog PS3/360 came out in 2006. "Most" you say?

I wonder if they address Sonic's lack of a major game between 1995 and 1998, and the series' dip in quality in the mid-2000s.
