Thanksgiving Parade: ritorna Sonic!

null
I Sonic fan di vecchia data sicuramente se ne ricorderanno. Sonic fu il primo personaggio dei videogiochi ad avere un pallone aerostatico alla famosissima Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade di New York. Il pallone partecipò alla parata dal 1993 al 1995. Nel 1993 fu persino coinvolto in un incidente, dove andò a scontrarsi (così come il pallone di Rex) contro un lampione, ferendo un poliziotto.

Il 24 Novembre, per festeggiare il 20° anniversario e l’uscita di Sonic Generations, Sonic tornerà nei cieli. Che sia un altro tassello per un ritorno martellante di Sonic nella vita di tutti i giorni? Sicuramente riprendere le tradizioni di un tempo è un ottimo segnale.

Il pallone sarà lungo 18 metri, alto 14 e largo 8!
