Sonic Channel (ソニックチャンネル Sonikku Chan'neru?) is an official Japanese website published and maintained by Sega. It contains information about the Sonic the Hedgehog series and was launched during E3 2005.[1] An updated version of the website was launched in late 2015.
The website contains updates on different Sonic-related media (such as games, events and television shows), Sonic-themed merchandise (such as clothing and accessories), exclusive downloads (such as calendars and wallpapers), participation events and user-submitted fanart corresponding with a month's theme. It also contains a list of most of the games in the Sonic series, and profiles for most of the recurring characters in the franchise.
Sonic Channel is mostly known for its monthly calendar/wallpaper, which contains new artwork of a recurring character, usually in a different art style each year. In 2021, these artworks featured Sonic with a different character and were accompanied by a written story in Japanese.
The website used to feature a collection of browser-based games, some of which include pre-existing games, such as Shadow the Hedgehog Flash, while others original, such as Sonic the Broad Jump. The website currently has twenty-five jigsaw puzzles based on the site's artwork of characters from the Sonic series.
