Sega said as much only a few days ago.

He’s got jet-powered shoes and gold wristbands and sometimes he uses a gun.

Swearing, in a Sonic game!

Shadow the damn Hedgehog, with a gun

Suck on that,Red Dead Redemption.

Shadow has two major interests: Chaos Emeralds and his tragic repressed past.

Or at least, that was the case back in 2005.

Shadow’s character may have matured over the years, I guess.

I bet he keeps expensive tropical fish and has started a garage rock band somewhere.

Oh that’s right, Johnny Mnemonic: The Interactive Action Movie.

Oh hang on, that wasn’t Keanu.

It was Christopher Gartin, who also played “Sexy Waiter Scott” in Black Swan.

I think Keanu makes a pretty natural Shadow, myself.

Seems like a team-up with decent comic chemistry.

I hope the writing carries it.

There’s no Sonic 3 movie release date yet, nor even a proper trailer.

Take heart, friends.

We all survived the Year of Luigi, didn’t we?
