Fans of SEGA's mascot Sonic the Hedgehog have been told that the wait is nearly over for a new game. They had been worried that their blue favourite might not ever make another video game after reports surfaced that he had substantially bulked up.

A statement from Sonic's management company was issued to reassure fans that, while the reports that their hero was temporarily unable to roll himself into a ball, progress was being made. A crash diet and long sessions in the gym are hoped to be able to reverse the damage caused by a party lifestyle following from his meteoric rise to fame and, if it all goes according to plan, a new game will be released this summer.

Unsurprisingly fans of Sonic the Hedgehog are excited about the prospect of a return to form after a number of recent below par releases.
