At this point of late-stage-capitalism internet, nothing surprises me anymore. When I saw that Sega had turned precious little Tails into a Vtuber I was like, “of course they did.” There’s also the fact that Sonic got the same treatment last year, so we really should have seen this one coming. He’s going to have his own show called TailsTube, and while all we know so far is that the first episode is dropping sometime next week, there is a teaser up on the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter to give us a small taste of what we’re in for.
He tells us that he’ll be answering some frequently asked questions, and will “maybe even bring on some special guests on the show,” and if I know anything, that means he totally will have special guests on. The caption on the announcement tweet also says that TailsTube will be “fun and informative.” What he’s informing us on, I’m not entirely sure, but at least it will be conveyed to us in a charming, adorable way, as is expected of Tails, even if I do feel that VTubing treads a bit too far into the uncanny valley for my liking.
