Nope. Sega of America hasn't filed a domain name since the Dreamcast days.

Looks like whoever wrote the Yahoo! Games blog thinks Sega needs to give Sonic a rest...

"Sonic the Hedgehog


People have been calling for Sonic's head for nearly a decade now, and for good reason: the blue blur just ain't what he used to be.

Beginning with 2003's Sonic Heroes (or thereabouts), a string of pretty lousy games started gnawing away on the mascot's legacy. 2006's Sonic the Hedgehog was a disaster, as was 2008's Sonic Unleashed. If you typed "which game franchises should die" into a search engine in 2009, Sonic's was the first name on every list.

To be fair, though, he's made a decent comeback of late. Sonic Colors for the Wii was a solid platformer, as was the recently released throwback game, Sonic Generations. But despite these modest gains, it's time for the hedgehog to go on administrative leave. He's been running non-stop for over 20 years now. Give him — and us -- a break, Sega."


I agree about the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog game and, to some extent, Sonic Heroes as well. But I think Sega has started to repair the damage caused by those games, by releasing Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations. As long as Sega keeps the quality up then I see no reason for that to be necessary.

I agree...as long as they hold this level of quality there's no need to park him...jus don't go back to any of those crappy formulas and let sonic do what he does best...run lol...i do however think that if well thought out another adventure title could be good...jus I
prove writing gameplay and voiceacting lol
