See for yourself with the announcement video below.<\/p>\n<p>How we\u2019ve come to this marvel of modern, unserious-ass technology is through the work of Transeeds, <a href=\"https:\/\/transeeds.com\/en\/about\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which describes itself as<\/a> \u201ca science collective composed of artists, engineers, scientists and other members.\u201d Another project of Transeeds was a \u201crecreation\u201d of Resident Evil\u2018s T-virus <a href=\"https:\/\/transeeds.com\/en\/news\/55xddx93dm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which did not contain any actual virus<\/a>. As for Sonic\u2019s DNA, how much actual genetic material it contains is equally dubious. The video claims Sonic\u2019s DNA contains \u201cSoinc biOS,\u201d \u201cEmerald vision,\u201d \u201cboost system,\u201d \u201cvelocity cells,\u201d and more Sonic-adjacent buzzwords. To house the hedgehog\u2019s precious genetic gunk, Transeeds has also constructed a Chaos Emerald containment system that sits nestled within the Sonic statue, conjuring images of the famous mosquito encased in amber from Jurassic Park. And if you were hoping to catch a glimpse of it, well, Sega\u2019s not keeping its little science \/ art project to itself; you\u2019ll be able to see it in-person at Sega Store Tokyo on June 23rd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This year marks the 35th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog and to celebrate, Sega has apparently taken the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":708226,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[39619,37634,74],"class_list":["post-708225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-sega","tag-sonic","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=708225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/708226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=708225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=708225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=708225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
