And yes, I am quite aware that Blue Sky Software was owned by Interplay. But SEGA has always owned the Vectorman franchise lock, stock, and barrel, unlike the ToeJam & Earl franchise. If you look at the ToeJam & Earl games, they always say "Copyright Johnson-Voorsanger Productions" or "Copyright TJandE Productions"~ variations of that sort. That's why we aren't getting this:
It's not fake. It's placeholder art for the actual pics because that is a mock-up of the in-game select screen. They are doing something similar to what Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars does for the character select screen.
I wouldn't doubt it if that becomes the new norm for crossovers.
* Sonic the Hedgehog * Miles "Tails" Prower * Knuckles the Echidna * Doctor Eggman * Amy Rose * Shadow the Hedgehog * Big the Cat
From other Sega properties:
* AiAi from Super Monkey Ball * Amigo from Samba de Amigo * Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue * Beat from Jet Set Radio * Alex Kidd from the Alex Kidd series * Billy Hatcher from Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg * Zobio and Zobiko, the zombie couple from The House of the Dead EX * Ulala from Space Channel 5 * B.D. Joe from Crazy Taxi * Jacky Bryant with Akira Yuki from the Virtua Fighter series. * Bonanza Bros. * ChuChu Rocket * Opa-Opa
They were supposed to be a duo in their spaceship. It's too bad that Mr. Johnson doesn't get paid for the rereleases of his games. However, he said that he'll look into it.
Now they will be totally left in the dust over this news. I don't mind it though, Ryo is as epic as Frank West's inclusion in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
This IS old news, folks. NeoGAF came to the conclusion that it was fake back on July 10. DiLuigi's NeoGAF account was permabanned for the stupid performance.

Don't forget all of the compilations that Vectorman has appeared in and the vaporware Vectorman PS2 title.
