Sonic Adventure DX Gets US Date

Sega of America today announced that it would release Sonic Adventure DX exclusively for Nintendo's next-generation console in the US this May. The game marks the third appearance of Sonic the Hedgehog on GameCube.

Sonic Adventure DX, an enhanced port of the Dreamcast-released Sonic Adventure, follows the hedgehog on a quest to defeat the troublesome Dr. Eggman, the long-time nemesis of the mascot character. Sega said that DX would boast improved graphics and sound along with connectivity to the simultaneously announced Game Boy Advance title Sonic Pinball Party.

"Sega's Sonic The Hedgehog is back just in time for summer in two new action-packed games for the Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance," said Mike Fischer, vice president, SEGA of America. "To date, Sonic has proved to be phenomenally popular on the Nintendo GameCube and we're excited that Sonic is resonating with a whole new generation of gamers."

We'll have more on the product soon.
