Unleashing a classic adventure, Sonic the Hedgehog first gathered all his South Island animal friends to thwart Dr. Robotnik’s evil plans in 1991. The fighter draped in a blue hue will soon celebrate the 20th anniversary of this acclaimed struggle as the franchise heads for accomplishing a new milestone. To expand this commemorative spirit, Mad Catz Interactive recently released the limited edition Sonic the Hedgehog Figure Inductive Charger for the Nintendo Wii Remote controller.
With the launch of this specially crafted inductive charger, the manufacturer has further amplified its basket of Sonic the Hedgehog video game peripherals. This newly introduced product dons the same look as the lead character of the series in its six-inch tall design. Fashioned vigilantly, this immersive figure extends a seamless charging solution for up to two Wii Remotes and has been touted to symbolize the classic ‘Green Hill Zone’.
“We are delighted to be a part of Sonic’s 20th Anniversary with the new licensed Inductive Charger,” beamed Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz. “Working alongside Sega, we believe we have created a charging solution which will prove irresistible to Sonic fans and gamers alike and one which continues to illustrate our strategy of bringing premier licenses to market via products which evoke a passionate consumer response.”
The integrated magnets of the device engineer an efficient position for controllers and battery packs while gamers charge their Wii Remote. Its rechargeable NiMH battery packs boost up power for approximately 15 hours of gameplay. The company has also revealed that the innovative electromagnetic induction technology enclosed into the creation enables players to charge their controllers without removing the silicone covers or other Wii MotionPlus add-ons.
Marked individually, Mad Catz’s Sonic the Hedgehog Figure Inductive Chargers are available in limited numbers. The device can be now procured from the Mad Catz web store by shelling out 49.99 USD (approx. Rs. 2,257).
