Over the past few years, the Sonic the Hedgehog social media channels have been considered to be right up there with the best in gaming. Now, more fans will be able to enjoy what these accounts have to offer.
Sega has opened up Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube accounts for Sonic fans in Latin America. These channels will provide news and other content in Latin Spanish and, alongside the already-established English-language accounts, will receive regular content updates throughout 2021 as the franchise celebrates its 30th anniversary.
Up until his resignation from the role last year, Sonic's western social media accounts were led by Aaron Webber. Through the likes of livestreams and a funny, laid back approach to the handling of Sonic's Twitter account, Webber became super popular within the Sonic community and helped to truly give the brand its own unique flavour online.
The team now continues without him, and these new accounts seem to be a positive step forward, as explained by Social Media and Influencer Manager, Katie Chrzanowski:
Thanks to Andrew for the tip!

This obviously means that the next Sonic game is taking place in Brazil
Seems crazy it took so long, considering how over Sega and Sonic is in South America.
Better late than never.
This is the news I come here for 🤠
They should try expanding their reach with some good games
¡Tengo que viajar a un ritmo moderadamente rápido!
What ever did happen to that Sonic game that Sega can't wait to show us? Being waiting for that this long and there's literally nothing about it.
¡un ritmo moderadamente rápido!
@PBandSmelly Moderately?! But this is not élite...
@COVIDberry Sonic Says the moderación is importante
"These channels will provide news and other content in Latin Spanish"
Ah, yes... We do speak a lot of Latin Spanish in Brazil...
Best part of this they didn't use "latinx" which most latin people actually despise.
@acmiguens fizeram também perfis só pro Brasil em português, não precisa ficar choramingando. E mais, o mundo não é obrigado a saber o idioma que falamos. Você sabe quais os idioma falados na Bélgica, por exemplo?
@fezones Sim, fizeram. Por isso a notícia esta incompleta.
Me desculpe se você interpreta sarcasmo como choramingar.
Sim. Na Bélgica se fala francês, holandês e alemão. Com alguns prevalecendo dependendo da proximidade geográfica a esses respectivos países. Inclusive, o termo inglês French fries é incorreto, pois os soldados estavam na Bélgica quando comeram. Porém, como bons cidadãos nativos de lingua inglesa, não sabiam a diferença entre França e Bélgica.
Mais alguma pergunta?
"Dime si son latinos"
is a phrase of a song from Poyecto Uno, lmao
@acmiguens usou muito bem o Google, parabéns! No mais, nada mais, obrigado.
@acmiguens @fezones Breaking the language rule once or twice as a joke is ok, but let's please write our posts in English so the most people can understand them.
Sonic.
@Eel I started this, my bad, sorry. Was just an useless talk. Sorry again.
@fezones Yes, because only you know things, right?
Great never talking to you again
@Eel I'm sorry for the occurrence. It won't happen again.
@acmiguens I'm sorry. We live in the same country, we like Nintendo stuff, but I made a dumb comment and now we are enemies.
We don't need to talk again, we don't need to be friends, I only want you to know that I regret that and I'm totally wrong. Sorry man. And sorry everyone for making internet a worst place :
@SorridoSnake oh no! Sonic is gonna be robed by drug drealers.
since the Sonic franchise is expanding to latin america/Brazil too, the next mainline 3D or 2D Sonic game with brazilian localization?
@fezones I appreciate you saying that. And we don't have to be enemies.
And you're right, we're from the same country have share a like for Nintendo. That should be enough for us to at least be civil to one another.
As for my initial comment. I've been fortunate to travel abroad and even to live abroad for about 2 and a half years. The only two nationalities I've encountered that had trouble with the concept of Brazilians not speaking Spanish (or Brazilian) were people from the US and the UK. Even a few people I met in Malaysia knew the difference (others just didn't make the mistake).
So instead of acting upset about this lack of culture from native English speakers, I just use sarcasm. It's more soothing
Anyway. Happy gaming and see you around, mate
@Giancarlothomaz The politicians will get him first and for a lot more money
What's the problema? Aren't we allowed to hablar un poquito de español aquí?
Ay ay ay ay mi corazón me duele 😕
Guys it's literally in the embedded tweet that there's an entire account dedicated to Brazilian Portuguese......
Brazilian Portuguese is also the most spoken language in Latin America by number of speakers (Spanish obviously wins by number of countries)
@acmiguens that true, poor Sonic.
