December 4^th, 2003 (12:00am) - With Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Sonic Adventure DX exclusively available for the Nintendo GameCube (that is if you disavow any knowledge of their original Dreamcast releases), some GameCube owners may be feeling a bit bitter about SEGA’s Sonic Heroes being a multiplatform game. However, all is not lost… SEGA has announced that Sonic Heroes will see a release on the Nintendo GameCube three weeks prior to the release of its XBOX and PlayStation 2 counterparts, with the release date of January 5th, 2004 for the GameCube. The XBOX and PlayStation 2 versions hit retail shelves on January 27th, 2004.
