Old or new, big or small, all of the Japanese Sonic themed electronics will appear on these pages. This can include battery powered things, plug in items, vidogames & accessories (includes LCDs) and anything else that runs off of electricity that isn't a normal console or video game.

Sonic Gear Main *

Japan didn't have the LCD game craze that USA did for Sonic. That didn't mean they didn't make ANY, though. This one has a curly cord so it is a key-chain game. The arrow says "No Speed Limit", and there are line-arts of Sonic and Tails on the game. The background is the 'no regrets' quote.

Here's a fuller shot of a Tails themed LCD game. It is clearish-orange so you can see the circuit inside. This also gives you a look at the modernistic box design. Want to learn an easy Japanese word? See the red dot? Three lines is Mi, and 2 lines is Ni...so... "Mi+Ni"="mini!" Now you know. Are these fun to play? What do they do/why were they released? No one yet knows cause they're pretty darn rare. So if you see it on Ebay or somewhere, be sure to buy it! But this gives you a cute uncommon Tails thumbs-up art.

This is some kind of specially Sonic branded Saturn console. Was it for an event? A special one you could pre-order before they went on sale? Write in if you know why this console is special. It has an all-black/clear version of the uncommon classic 'presenting...' hand Sonic. It doesn't appear to have any other Sonic themed features. Photo discovered by Piplupfan77

This is the "Wii Soft Touch Sport Kit". It contains various small size mock sporting goods that you could snap with wiimote into to try and enhance the game play experience. Each of the items is somehow Sonic branded, with little pictures of him on the 'hilt' area or somewhere on the steering wheels. The branding here is rather simple...maybe even

slightly overly-simple, as it looks like a single sticker could accomplish the same thing. The Wii Wheels (top right) are character & color coded, so Red is for Knuckles & Pink is for Amy so that you could race your friends at home, at the same time. The other accessories include a golf club, tennis racket & baseball bat. Note the different wheel style coming with the different accessory pack. Photos by SonicTeam

This is the official promotional SonicTeam VMU. The VMU is a little memory device/LCD game playing machine that snapped into the Dreamcast controllers to serve as an extra screen and also a memory card. It was famous for the Chao game you could play inside. This VMU is rare, as it was released as a promotional item. It's case is semi-transparent blue and unlike other VMUs it has the Sonicteam logo at the top. It was exclusive to Japan, so it's uncommon but still really collectible. Photo discovered by Rae_Logan

This is a rare special edition memory card for the Playstation 2. It was likely released alongside/ at similar time to Sonic Heroes, to help promote the game in Japan. You can see the JP Heroes logo & the jumping CG Sonic they chose to use a lot with the game. When you bought this, it came with the clear/frosted special case with Sonic Tails & Knuckles on it to keep the card safe when not in use. Mint in the package like this, it's a great collectors' item, and sure to be uncommon, since it remained undiscovered until 2011. Photo & owned by OrangeUnicorn1984

Are these plushes, or electronics? They're both! This is a pair of walkie-talkies where the electronic parts are contained within stuffed dolls of Sonic & Tails. They look a little odd with the antenna sticking up out of their heads...and you likely have to unzip the back somehow to use them. What's that wire coming out of the side of Sonic? How well did these things actually work? It's kind of an odd idea, but these are a rare & interesting thing to see. Photo discovered by PiplupFan77

Have an iphone? Why not add a cool Sonic themed case for the exterior! These are the official Sonic iphone accessories. You can choose from CG running Sonic, new Sonic art w/star, simple Sonic eyes & logo or CG gesturing Sonic on gray. Each one should be about 2100 yen , & is available online ...but only if you're in Japan. These are some great & stylish cases! Photo by Sega, discovered by Taaron.
