SEGA has announced that Sonic the Hedgehog's Tails is set to become a Vtuber (that's 'virtual YouTuber', granddad) with a new series called 'TailsTube' starting next week.
The series will be "fun and informative" and will likely focus on the history of the Sonic franchise, characters, and specific games. It's unlikely any major announcements will be made through the series, but we've seen stranger things!
Tails will be voiced by Colleen O’Shaughnessey in what will be the first English-voiced Sonic Vtube series. It's not, however, the first time SEGA has experimented with the format. For Sonic's 30th anniversary, the blue hedgehog himself became a Vtuber, albeit for only a short while. It looks like TailsTube is set to be a more long-term endeavour, though.
Will you be watching TailsTube when it debuts with Miles Prower at the helm? Are you looking forward to Sonic Frontiers? Let us know in the usual place.

Tails has always been one of my favourite characters from Sonic. Guess I'll have to check this out when it lands!
Focusing on the history of the series means oddities like the creepy Tails doll from Sonic R are bound to show up eventually, and that's enough for me to check it out.
@Zebetite And if it means touching upon his mint candy addiction, we could learn about one of his two starring games on the Game Gear : Tails' Sky Patrol, which the mint candies are what power up the flight meter.
'Sonic The Hedgehog's Tails' not to be confused with all the other Tails...
Oh no. I pity the mods.
Give Tails your rings..
When Tails got “rebooted” into being a cowardly dork who frequently cowers in fear and is only good at pulling out a yellow tablet to deliver expository dialogue is the moment that character died.
Tails is still my favourite Sonic character and he is probably the most adorable video game character of all time.
I would definitely check this out.
Oh God. I don't like Vtubers that much but I love Tails so I guess I'll have a look at it.
Ooooo my sister loves tails so she might be interested!
@RubyCarbuncle I know. My nephew watches basically nothing but YouTube on my family's TV, and one of the channels he frequently tunes into has this talking cat playing Roblox. I believe the YouTuber's name is Jase. He (My nephew) also enjoys FGTeeV, and stuff of guys opening Pokemon Card Packs.
Hot is an understatement 😍
Im actually gonna check out TailsTube next week, also anticipating Sonic Frontiers too!
