More Distant Puppies... :-(

Sometimes, these comics confuse even me.

Anyway, I'm trying to get people to help campaign to get Ryan Drummond back as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog. For more information on this topic, see my previous post, or search Wikipedia for Ryan Drummond or Sonic the Hedgehog. Right now, we're writing Nintendo to try and get them to use Ryan Drummond in Smash Bros Brawl. The people on the Save Sonic Forums (http://savesonic.all-up.com/index.htm) have been writing and phoning Nintendo on the subject, and receiving fairly positive responses, though they seem to suggest the final decision has not been made. We have to keep lobbying, if we don't want a lame cartoon-imitation Sonic defacing what could be the greatest game of the decade.

Here is a link to Nintendo's web form:

Here is their mailing address:

Nintendo of America

PO Box 957

Redmond, WA 98073 .

I'm recommending contacting Nintendo, since they are in charge of Smash Bros, and presumably who voices the characters. Thousands of messages have been sent to Sega of America, but their president recently claimed that the American branch has no control over who does the voice acting... Strange. Anyway, someone on Save Sonic found a bunch of e-mail addresses for Sega of Japan. I'll link to the page here: (http://savesonic.all-up.com/supporting-activists-f8/e-mail-carpet-bomb-2-project-japan-t74.htm). However, I haven't tested all these addresses, so I can't be held responsible for their authenticity. For all I know, you could be e-mailing some poor guy who works at Denny's, complaining to him about something he knows nothing about...

Anyway, I just recommend that any of my viewers (I have viewers, right?) who are interested in helping just drop Nintendo a line, saying that Ryan Drummond should do the voice of Sonic in Smash Bros, and, if they have any say in the matter, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. You're welcome to send multiple messages, but space them out. Sending more than one every few days will just serve to annoy them. More importantly, be polite, and try to focus more on how good Ryan Drummond is for the character than how bad Jason Griffith is. Negative campaigns seldom work properly.
