"Several hours ago, a Nintendo Power cover surfaced on the popular gaming forum Neogaf. It's cover clearly stated that the issue would reveal information on a new Sega IP titled "Sonic & The Black Knight", however a few sites began to doubt legitimacy.
Various Photoshop "investigators" went to work hoping to expose the cover as a fake. I decided to go a different route and check to see if SEGA registered the domain name.
It turns out that they most certainly did register sonicandtheblacknight.com on what appears to be July 2, 2008. Below is the domain information extracted directly from the Japan Whois database. "

Someone call his parents and sit him in front of a Genesis. Teach your children people.

Being a Sonic fan for a majority of my life, I’ve played nearly every Sonic game that’s ever existed. As such, I’ve played each game so many times that I’ve even began collecting them as of recently. Doing so, I’ve had the opportunity to play games I haven’t even looked at in several years.
I’ve never been big on the classic Sonic games, or really anything before 1999 when Sonic Adventure for the SEGA Dreamcast was released, so don’t expect to see anything before then in my list. To celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog’s 24th anniversary, here are my top 10 favorite Sonic games of all time.

I don't understand why so many people doubted it in the first place.
Your trash
How in the hell can anyone be happy about Sega whoring out their beloved mascot and flagship character like this? What next, Sonic cussing, boozing and stealing cars cause he's too tired to run anymore?
This is stupid. A waste. Make sure you ruin your characters heritage built up for 20 years. Gaming will never be the same as it was in the 80's and 90's. Never. Those were the golden years of gaming and it's jsut not coming back.
Great idea on checking for a domain rather then just photoshop investigating it.
I hope it's real, because it's a Wii exclusive third party title, so that's showing some good third party support. And so far, it doesn't look very casual, so that makes it even better.
Sonic died a long time ago.
