Lovely idol Hoshizora Rin of Love Live! has earned the honorable position of being Sega’s new staff image girl, with the cheery girl wearing an official staff uniform in celebration while grasping the lifeless husk of Sega’s long extinct mascot.
The campaign initially involved voting from fans to select a Love Live! idol to serve as Sega’s new image girl, with the tomboyish Rin taking the crown and a flood of merchandise in commemoration being put up for sale as a result.
AG Square is also offering up goods for ecstatic Love Live! fans via its UFO catcher arcade games, allowing players the potential to accrue points and earn more chances to win such trinkets as clear files, mini-standees and even Rin-inspired ramen.
Further details on all the events:
The event will run from December 19th to the 2nd of February.

I still believe in Sonic the Hedgehog i grew up playing those games, It's just companies like BigRedbutton who had 3 years and a $20 Million dollar budget to make a game, Ended up making a Glitchy piece of crap game that can be beaten in under an hour now. Despite this game being a major blow to the Sonic's fan ego. I still think Sonic is a great game franchise.
the new sonic games are fucking pieces of shit loaded into data form and put into the game for people to shit on
Surely a true Nintendo fan. The only real shitty games are Sonic 06, Shadow the Hedgehog and now SOnic Boom. But everything before Sonic 06/Shadow the Hedgehog and everything between Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom was just great! Yes, I even enjoyed Sonic 4 a lot!
definately better than the New Super Mario Bros WiiU and Mario 3D Land (Both pretty average -__-).
Are you high?
You simply forgot a few games: sonic unleashed, sonic and the black knight, sonic riders, sonic rivals 2, etc and the list goes on... some might even include sonic and the secret rings and sonic lost world...
Of couse saying it's shit into data form is far from true, same applies to saying Sonic 2006 and shadow are the only bad games
Sonic Unleashed wasn't even bad.
What's that? We finally made 3D Sonic work with Generations/Colors? Better outsource our series to another company and try to get a different formula going... Honestly, people don't come back to old IPs to see a breakthrough in the gaming industry; they just want to see more of same thing with minor differences here and there.
BigRedbutton was one of the tiny development team around that grow smaller by the month. They were the perfect fall guys for Sega.
Oh right, sega is still a "thing" i forgot
You know, there's just like three 7-10 storey Sega arcades in the heart of Akiba's electronics area. Totally not a thing.
This whole Love Live thing is just Sega's attempt to grab a piece of Namco's Idolmaster pie anyway.
I am not trying to be sarcastic but I thought this company is a history. Hmm, good to know they are still alive.... for now.
"... with the cheery girl wearing an official staff uniform in celebration while grasping the lifeless husk of Sega’s long extinct mascot."
You lost me there. Sonic is everything but extinct! And except for Sonic Boom, I loved all the Sonic Games released since Sonic Unleashed! They are a lot of fun!
Yeah, totally off topic, but I grew with Sonic back in the 90's, so reading Shit like that hurts a lot -_-'
Oh, so you enjoyed Sonic 06?
"since Sonic Unleashed!" <-- I'm pretty sure Sonic '06 was the game before Unleashed.
On that note, I have to say that I've liked all the Sonic games since Sonic '06 (I love Sonic '06 for all the wrong reasons and life is good) except Lost Worlds. Lost Worlds felt tedious and its difficulty felt more dependent on memorization of a stage than foresight on the platforming. And I haven't played Sonic Boom yet, but I'm considering getting the 3DS version, which supposedly plays more like a classic Sonic and is devoid of the bugs that plague the Wii U version.
Rin-chan in Sonic Boom with the extra long leggings?
Sonic is trash. Time to throw him out.
Mario has always been trash. Time to throw him out.
Sonic is dead and should stay dead.
I would've preferred Selvaria as the new mascot girl, but Rin is fine too.
Can we all just agree the only good Sonic games are 1, 2 and 3K?
Sonic Adventure 2 would like a word with you.
Nope, agreement denied.
I'll agree to that!
To nostalgia turds maybe.
Generations was good as well.
Generations was amazing
I used to play Sonic when I was young.
"lifeless husk of Sega’s long extinct mascot."
Seriously? What a rather tastless jab, I expect something like that from Gameinformer.
It's not tasteless if it's true.
What no Hi sCoool! SeHa Girls
