Sonic Channel 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 like games, events and television shows, Sonic-themed merchandise like clothing and accessories, exclusive downloads like 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 the monthly calendar/wallpaper which contains new artwork of a recurring character, usually in a different art style each year. In 2021, these artworks have both Sonic and a different character, accompanied by a written story in Japanese.
The website had a collection of browser-based games, some of which include pre-existing games, such as Shadow the Hedgehog Flash, and others original like Sonic the Broad Jump. The website also has twenty-five jigsaw puzzles based on the site's artwork of characters from the Sonic series.
