When you think of groundbreaking and iconic video game franchises a few series come to mind. Most people would most likely say Mario, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and possibly Pacman. In this case, three out of the four series would be correct. Pokemon would be the only title under 30 years old. However, there is one title that most gamers would probably overlook when guessing despite its relative popularity in pop culture. That franchise is Sonic the Hedgehog. Earlier this year, Sonic achieved its thirty-year milestone. To commemorate Sonic‘s 30th anniversary, G Fuel has announced that Sonic G Fuel Party Punch is out now.
Sonic the Hedgehog was first released on June 23, 1991, for the Mega Drive/ Sega Genesis. Later that year, an 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog would release on the Sega Game Gear and Master System. The Sonic franchise has continued to stay in gamers’ minds thanks to the release of the Sonic Movie and the recent release of Sonic Colors: Ultimate.
Party Punch Out Today!
In celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog‘s 30th anniversary, G Fuel is pleased to announce the Sonic the Hedgehog collection G Fuel Party Punch. G Fuel Sonic Party Punch is inspired by the Sweet Mountain Stage in Sonic Colors Ultimate. According to G Fuel, G Fuel Party Punch tastes like fruity cereal. The new flavor is available today at GFuel.com.
According to G Fuel,
The new flavor is supposedly sugar-free and packed with antioxidants from 18 different fruit extracts. Each serving has only 15 calories and contains 140 mg of caffeine plus proprietary energy and focus-enhancing complexes.
Take a sip of Party Punch and you’ll end up in a dimension filled with robotic animals and rolling hills. Suddenly, a blue blur zooms past you with incredible speed. It’s followed by Tails, Knuckles the Echidna, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Amy Rose running closely behind. That’s when you realize the brand-new G FUEL Party Punch is in your hand! It’s now available for customers in the U.S. and select other countries to buy in powdered form in 40-serving tubs and limited-edition collector’s boxes, which include one 40-serving tub and one 16 oz shaker cup.
Party Punch can give gamers the extreme energy and focus that they need to zoom through challenging worlds, free the Wisps, and defeat Dr. Eggman.
Partnership Thoughts
Michael Cisneros, Manager of Licensing at Sega of America, had this to say about the partnership,
“We’ve partnered with G FUEL to bring the celebration home with an all-new party punch flavor that will keep you moving. Toss some confetti, make some noise, and party like it’s 1991. We can’t wait for Sonic and G FUEL fans to give it a try!”
G FUEL Founder and CEO, Cliff Morgan went on to say,
“If you were to list some of the iconic speedsters in gaming, there’s no one that races to the top faster than Sonic the Hedgehog. That’s why we’re thrilled to team up with SEGA for a third time to not only give our fans something wonderful but also to celebrate 30 years of the world’s fastest hedgehog.”
Third Sonic G Fuel
Party Punch is the third flavor that G FUEL and SEGA have co-developed and released. The first two flavors were Sonic’s Peach Rings and the very real Sanic’s Chili Dogs. Currently, the Peach Rings version is still available while the Sanic Chili Dogs are in the vault.
