The missing originals matter: SEGA press releases, logos, renders, screenshots, fact sheets, wallpapers, and downloadable campaign files. This page records what is proven to have existed, what survives through contemporary sources, and what Shadorux still needs to recover.
The 2005 campaign left a strong documentary trail, but the original SEGA of America and SEGA Europe press-kit package has not yet been recovered by Shadorux. Contemporary reproductions preserve the March announcement and November shipment copy, while first-party Sonic Channel records prove that the Japanese site distributed screenshots, movies, wallpapers, and other material.
This catalog therefore does not pretend that every original asset is already in hand. It is a recovery map: each category states what the evidence supports and what remains missing.
SEGA of America and SEGA Europe formally announced the game, identifying SEGA Studio USA and director Takashi Iizuka while promoting more than 50 missions, weapons, vehicles, branching choice, and Shadow's uncertain identity.
Nintendo World Report, Everyeye.it, and SonicOnline preserve contemporary versions. The original SEGA-hosted release remains a recovery target.
The North American release campaign used the “Hero or Villain?” framing and emphasized weapons, vehicles, multiple endings, replay value, the $49.95 MSRP, and E10+ rating.
Nintendo World Report preserves the SEGA shipment announcement.
Period magazine, E3, fan-site, GameSpot, and official-site records establish a substantial screenshot campaign across 2005.
Shadorux still needs original files, filenames, dimensions, dates, and regional press provenance rather than merely saving later web copies.
Official promotional artwork and branding circulated throughout the campaign, but the research pass has not yet established a complete original downloadable press-kit set.
Catalog only assets with traceable official provenance; do not infer press-kit origin merely because an image is high resolution.
Sonic Channel's first-party update log explicitly records three wallpapers added to the Japanese site's Download section on December 6, 2005.
The original-resolution wallpaper files and filenames have not yet been acquired by Shadorux.
The Japanese site received promotional movies on October 3 and November 14, then the TRIPOD BABY promotional movie and TV commercial on November 24.
Original site-hosted media files and filenames remain targets even where later video copies survive elsewhere.
The recovered research does not yet prove a specific original fact-sheet file, despite press coverage clearly drawing on official game information.
Do not manufacture a fact-sheet entry until an original file, archived press page, or reliable catalog record is found.
Added to the official Japanese site and Sonic Channel on December 12, 2005.
The SWF and dependencies remain missing. Because Flash material is especially fragile, this is a high preservation priority.
Original file
A file distributed by SEGA or recovered from a SEGA-controlled site/capture with traceable provenance.
Contemporary reproduction
A 2005 outlet reproducing official copy or material. Useful evidence, but not the original SEGA package.
Community preservation copy
A later Sonic archive retaining an old asset. Valuable, but its chain of custody should be recorded.
Unknown web copy
A high-resolution image without provenance is not automatically a press asset.
Find archived SEGA of America / SEGA Europe press pages, downloadable ZIPs, media-server paths, or press-disc records tied to the March announcement and E3 cycle.
Recover filenames for logos, screenshots, renders, wallpapers and movies. Filenames can connect otherwise orphaned copies back to the same distribution set.
Locate the three wallpapers documented by Sonic Channel and record each resolution, filename, capture URL, and date.
Determine whether North America, Europe and Japan distributed different logos, screenshots, copy, packaging imagery, or downloadable material.
Look for show-floor press kits, discs, fact sheets, booth imagery, screenshot packages, and contemporary media-server downloads.
Recover the December 12 SWF plus any external assets needed to make a faithful archival record.
