I know this list is not for game news but this might put a new twist on
things.

The newest issue of GamePro (in their news section... I forget what page)
mentioned that Sega is working on a NEW Sonic game for
  Genesis, Saturn, Game Gear, Pico, P.C. platforms.

All they say about it is that it will feature a new 'gal' named Tiara
(species not given). It will also feature a new nemesis. GamePro didn't
know the name of the new nemesis or the name of the new game.

If this game becomes popular, then we could see a renewed interest in Sonic
in general. It is probably too much to ask, but it would be great if this
also prompted a third season of Sonic. I wonder if this will affect the
Archie comic story. Ken Penders said that Archie already had plots for
issues up to 50 (or was it 60). Some of those might have to be tweaked
in order to incorporate the new game's characters (OR Archie will probably
just start out with one of their 48-page specials).

In unrelated news:

I got a box of Cookie Crisp with the Sonic POGs. Bleh... why do they have
to put those POGs in such an awful cereal.
