The Classic series back in the 1990's is finally coming on DVD! This is one of my favourite childhood cartoon series, and I always hoped that it will return some day in some form, be it DVD, a new season, or a game. My first wish has been granted.

Support this series and buy the DVD! Might send Sega a message that THIS is how a good Sonic concept and story should be done. If this sells, there may even be a chance that this continuity can end up in the games or a new season/movie to continue where it left off!

And if not, you can still own this collection and relive the memories of how awesome Sonic was. A time when Sonic wasn't starring in glitchy games, a time when Sally wasn't butchered in Archie Comics, a time when Sonic was way past cool.

Get it on March 27th!

and while I'm at it...

The Forces of Chaos, led by the sinister Mother Brain (Metroid), are threatening to conquer the otherwise peaceful universe of Videoland. In a final attempt to fulfill an ancient prophecy, the N-Team - consisting of Princess Lana, Simon Belmont (Castlevania), Kid Icarus, and Mega Man - recruits California teenager Kevin Keene to don the mantle of Captain N: The Game Master! But only as a team can they fend off their rivals successfully, keeping Videoland safe for another day.

Considered the quintessential animated series for gamers, Captain N: The Game Master used its flare for exciting storytelling and its overwhelming popularity to show off the hottest new games and accessories in Nintendo’s arsenal.

Captain N: The Game Master features regular appearances by popular Nintendo villains King Hippo (Punch Out), Dr. Wily (Mega Man), and the Eggplant Wizard (Kid Icarus), while peppering in special guest appearances by icons like Link and Princess Zelda (The Legend Of Zelda) and the original Donkey Kong!

Bonus Features Include:

* Exploring Videoland - An interactive look at the original Videoland concept art
* Nintendo Power's "Captain Nintendo" - The 4-page story that started it all!
* In-Depth Character Bios Including Original Concept Art

Coming February 27th

Yep, read about those a while ago.

While on the subject of DVD releases, there are also other 'unexpecteds' coming to DVD. Couple others include--

Filmation's Ghostbusters
Legend of Prince Valiant (whole series over 2 Sets, both out already)

And many more series.

*Spitfire* · 01-20-2007, 07:09 PM

Captain N was the bomb

*DrSpengler* · 01-20-2007, 07:28 PM

Interview with Jaleel White? That should be hilarious.

I will buy both of these sets. They will be awesome to the max.

Also radical.

*Anarchistguy* · 01-20-2007, 07:37 PM

Holy crap. I've just discovered that Ken Penders (Archie Comics Sonic artist) made this cover. Pretty sweet!!!

~~LogicDonny~~ · 01-20-2007, 07:41 PM

both Sonic Satam and Captain N are 2 sought shows I want on dvd and they are happening! Horay!

Spawn Guy · 01-20-2007, 08:09 PM

And of course my region free DVD player would have to break down. I'm really going to have to get around to buying the software to unlock my new one and start ordering these. Sometimes I think Amazon. uk puts these up to torment me.

Peanut · 01-20-2007, 09:09 PM

I can't wait to not get these in Canada! Just like the Super Show and Zelda sets.

*ZariusTwo* · 01-20-2007, 09:10 PM

Oh hell yes.

Granted, Captain N only had one good season before commercilism overwhelmed it (and you guys need to read the comics, the only time Samus appeared in the franchise opposite the chief adversary Mother Brain...and she had the hots for Captain N)

Some of the original TMNT's final season writer Jeffery Scott's best stuff is there, including the most popular Captain N episode of all time "The Most Dangerous Gamesmaster" where Kevin fights an android replica of his childhood nemesis. If there had been more like the Pilot, this episode, "Happy Birthday Megaman", the Zelda crossovers, one where Mother Brain convinced Kevin she had been defeated, and the comics, Captain N would be less of a black sheep for Nintendo

But no video game based cartoon will ever have a legacy that outperforms Sonic Satam. The series is honoured even today by ARCHIE, it rose bars that no other Sonic series (not even X despite it's improvments) have matched, and it has the best mary sue cast ever assembled...but that's easy to do when you're establishing a franchise mythology.

In fact, I'll still argue Satam and the Fleetway UK Sonic Comic were better than anything beyond the Genesis titles in terms of story.

Ahhhhh. That explains why Ixis Naugus has such a dominant place on the cover, despite only appearing in one episode of the show.

I love the Archie Sonic comic, so naturally, I love the SatAM series. I thought it had the best interpretation of Dr. Robotnik in any of the Sonic mediums.

He was an evil overlord-character, but also had his trademark stupidity. However, his stupidity didn't overwhelm his character (like in Adventures of Sonic or Sonic X). He was a good balance between "devilishly evil" and "supervillain stupid".

Also, it only had three characters from the video games (Sonic, Tails and Robotnik) yet had such a strong cast of original supporting characters that you rarely found yourself pining for Knuckles or Metal Sonic.

Hell, I'll take Sally and Bunnie over Rouge and Amy any day. The Japanese aren't particularly good when it comes to writing strong female characters.

To not distribute such a collectors set in Canada is a total waste of profit. What, are Canadians haters of video games? Since when? Peanut's right. He shouldn't have to import it.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 01-21-2007, 11:07 AM

You talking to me as well who's canadian. i don't care if I import it or not. still the fun of it is getting it to your house lol.

*Brodie* · 01-21-2007, 12:51 PM

Well, could say a similar thing for shows I've read about getting DVDs in Canada, but not being released in the US. 2 that come to mind are "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" and "The Raccoons".

Both are US releases, so would be Region 1.

Bucky O'Hare!?!? Where was that put out on DVD?

No, he shouldn't have to import it. It's cruel and ignorant of those damned distributors. Still, he shouldn't punish himself to punish them.
