Take that, Shadow!

One of Sega's biggest booth attractions at E3 is a fifteen-minute reel of next-generation footage. While all of the footage shown is either confirmed for Xbox 360 or undecided, the sequence ends with a lengthy teaser for a new Sonic game. Since Sonic has been consistently well-received on the GameCube, it will most likely appear on the Revolution (though it was clearly running on an Xbox 360 alpha kit).

First info on Nintendo's take on the Voice-Over-IP phenomenon.

There isn't a lot to say about DSpeak just yet, as it is a very limited demo here at E3 2005. DSpeak will work over the Internet using WiFi (which is how it was set up at the show), and you will be able to get alerts when you friends come online, similar to an instant messenger program.
