"Sonic is not the first big name character for Roger's to voice either; he is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5, he voiced Ezio Auditore da Firenze in Assassin's Creed 2 and tortured protagonist Siegfried Schtauffen in Soulcalibur IV. Anime and manga fans will also recognise Roger's vocal talents from the Naruto series where he voiced the character Deidara and from Bleach where he leant his voice to both Shinji Hirako and Noba/Nova.

He's no stranger to SEGA fans either- though you might not know it.

In the last couple of years he's been heard in Valkyria Chronicles where he voiced Ted Ustinov, Vyse Inglebard, Johann Oswald Wisen and other additional voices. In MADWORLD where he specifically voiced the Greys,the younger son of "The Masters" and more. In Resonance Of Fate he was the voice of the Barman and going back a bit further Roger also voiced several of the passengers in Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars for the PSP."

"I think it'd be fair to say that in Kate Higgins, we've got a potentially great vocalisation for Tails. I was VERY pleased she was chosen. The name may not be familiar but once more you have heard her in SEGA games – again Valkyria Chronicles (Cordelia gi Randgriz, Martha Lipponen, Freesia York) and MADWORLD (Naomi / RinRin).

Perhaps her biggest voice acting role though is as the English voice of the character Sakura Haruno in Naruto."

Glad they changed Tails, hated his (is it a he?) voice, but Sonics was fine to me. Still interested to see what he's like now.

Because Nolan North voices Roger Smith and Keith David voices Kate Higgins. There's no need to be repetitive. :P

I found both of the older voice actors annoying so I hope the new ones will be better.

Forget the voice acting, it's the script that's always been terrible. Now... Chris Redfield's voice for the new Sonic? This.... sounds... weird...

True. I also found Chris Redfield being the voice of Sonic odd but hey, I won't judge it till I hear it.

I agree Jaleel White was great as Sonic from the 90s cartoon series.

Forget that, we hear the voice of Pop-star Megumi and Sakura Haruno for Tails now. :(

d'awwwwww lame.

I really liked the voices for them, sonic more so than tails. Oh well, as long as Knuckles (Janson from Lost Odyssey) isnt replaced then ill live.
