Sega teaser site has lots of balls

Sega's teasing something new with an interactive countdown site and a whole lot of balls. "Interactive" because the timer doesn't even show the countdown automatically. You have to click on a lever to get the number to change. Good one, Sega. Make 'em work for it!

Some intrepid visitors have already checked the site's source code and noted that at different times, the source has contained the words "nights", "sonic", and "supermonkeyball." It was blank when I first checked it but "sonic" appeared the second time around.

The countdown ends just under five days. Any ideas, fellas?

Sega is going to sell us a random number generator and endorsed by the government to be called the "state" Lottery. Depending on the state you purchase it from, it could be called the California State Lottery, Florida State Lottery, etc.



There won't be a North Carolina State lottery game as the lottery has been voted to be illegal in that state.

Like the new trademark stated, it has to be Step + Roll but with the source code stating Sonic, it might be this year's sonic title. Who knows. Higher chance of it being Step + Roll though.

Where did you see Sonic in the source? The only thing that could mean something was "supermonkeyball " so it's probably Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll.

Okay, that's odd. Now the source says 'Virtua Tennis'. Haha.
