All-new 2D Sonic rolling out in 2010

FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YEA

hell yeah

I VERY EXCITE!

Its about time... thanks for finally listening to the real fans, "gulp" I hope

Being a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan, its great to know that they are making a game that is going to be like the original sonic games. I just hope they dont mess up like they usually do. Well... just have to wait and see what happends.

I hope they'll make it like new super mario bros for the wii but with sonic!!!

Cant wait, but when do they plan on telling us more about it?!

Please SEGA, pleeaase don't screw this up...

i really dont see why folks are complaining about it being 2D. its where sonic started. and even though i love sonic adventure 1 & 2. you have to admit that sonic's recent trips into 3D have been less than satisfactory. I love the genesis games and even the gamegear games. i want to see more about this one. and i want to know what they mean by built from the ground up. its not like 2D side scrolling is an innovation lol. i hope this will be great. fingers crossed

I have to agree with ChiefSonic... I'd really rather see another game modeled after Sonic Adventure than a new 2D one. -shrugs- Guess it's their choice, though. At least the old-school fans are happy.

You know, i know sonic team idea why there making in 2D, But why not 3D?? Go back to the games with Sonic adventure games with the 3D, those games were the best

That's a teaser all right. It has way more questions than answers. :evil:

Great, now if Sega would just hire me to work for them I'd make this a really good Sonic game. How come you ask? because I've read quite a few forums/boards/posts about sonic games to know what the fans want. (kidding, I don't really want to work for them) Hey! There's an idea for you guys Sega! Just listen what the fans want in a game then the next Sonic game will be awesome! *makes a sarcastic smile scary enough to send you nancy boys at Sega packing home... I said nancy boys...

I hope this doesn't fail. Sonic 06 and Sonic Unleashed both sucked horribly.

This better not be my idea. Cause I came up that they should make a 2d sonic game with all his current abilities (homing attack, light dash, speed boost, etc.), Better controls, Reduce characters to Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and Eggman. I will Buy it though. I hope it is not like the gay-ass Sonic 06.

@ Vandalay16: Yeah, the lyrics are very annoying. I conpletely agree with your statement.

All I want is Sonic Tails Knuckles and Robotnik as the main characters, bring back special stages and the Super Sonic theme from Sonic 2 and I will be happy. Also great music with NO lyrics I want awesome catchy tunes.

@neokids That's like saying why Bowser should'nt be in every Mario game....makes no sense. Anyway, Im wondering what the Special stages in particular might be like.

Ugh, everytime I hear Sega wanting to re-invent Sonic, I think of Sonic the Hedgehog for Xbox 360 / PS3. That title has pretty much scarred me for life, and it didn't get any better with Sonic Unleashed. And please...listen to everyone here when they say...do not bring back Eggman as a boss. He's been defeated so many times, it makes me wonder why I should buy the next game when he's going to be there again.

I really can't wait for this. PLEASE MAKE IT JUST LIKE THE ORIGINALS! I'd love to see a new 2D Streets Of Rage in HD, me and my mates used to love that back in the day!

sonic was never a good 3d game, i mean if u had played it on its own merit without the love of the originals the first one that came out on dreamcast would have been a bareable pass but now its just junk. im actually looking forward to this baby tho

@S1vi0 The trailer confirmed that it is an ALL NEW sonic adventure bulti from the ground up so highly unlikely that it will be a remake of any of the classic Sonic games.

I'm confident abaout this one. Sonic Unleashed was more than a step in the right direction and proved that Sonic still had some life in him yet. As long as this doesn't mean an end to 3D Sonic games though I'll be happy. Still waiting for a TRUE Sonic Adventure 3 *Sends cookies to SEGA wanting Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 on XBLA :)

they should put the original ones on psn/xbl

Give me Sonic for the Dreamcast as a digital download on either the PSN or XboxLive and it will surely be purchased within minutes. That was a great 3D version of Sonic. I am hoping this next title proves that Sega still has it for the Sonic series.

Although I agree most 3D Sonic games are pretty bad, anyone remember Sonic Adventure 2 Battle? Wasn't that bad...

Wow, I applaus Sega for making this valiant attempt. It may not work, but they are trying what sonic is made for, not a mario copycat...

As much as I excited to hear about a new 2D Sonic (and maybe other franchises will get the hint that you don't need 3D to be successful ahem Castlevania) I have to agree with Glade Gnarr, this will be some other stupid idea that makes absolutely no sense for the Sonic franchise.

Dont SCREW this SEGA!!!

Hmm... interesting.

Actually his real name is Dr. Robotnik, Sonic and the others call him "Dr. Eggman" because of his body..lol I call him Robotnik though.

Don't get your hopes up, they probably have some new crappy idea screw it up.

Dr. Eggman is his Japanese name, and Dr. Robotnik his English one (although Dr. Eggman has been used outside of Japan too). The name Eggman is simply a reference to the shape of his body :).

@navak37 i never understood why they called him both eggman and dr. robotnik. but doesnt he use egg shaped machines to turn the animals into robot creatures? or was i too stoned to notice?

"...which only shows the outline of the new look of the hero at the end." sonics new look? im sorry, but does this not look familiar to them? http://www.infendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/sonic-the-hedgehog-2.jpg my guess is its either a) a remake of the original Sonic(s) (if they did this, i wouldnt mind them doing Sonic 1, 2, and 3&K) or b) its just implying that it really IS going back to its roots and that the game will be just like the old ones jsut on next gen.

slayersdeath200 needlemouse is probably meant to mean hedgehog lol

Prolly a bad translation, it's japanese publishers ps anyone know why they call him eggman anyways? when did that switch happen?

Why have they called it project needlemouse is the mouse a new charatcter or somthing?! I am excited about this as its going back to 2D and kcik some ass of Dr Robutknik :P

I want to be excited about this, because the 2D Sonic games rocked. But it seems like Sega's been promising to "reinvent" Sonic and take him "back to his roots" with every game for the past 5 years. So call me cautiously optimistic. Now where's my copy of Sonic and Knuckles...?

Bring this to Wii, & I'm happy.

Thank God. This is what Sonic Unleashed should've been. Sonic games since Adventure 2 really have just gotten progressively worse, with the acception that Unleashed was better than Sonic the Hedgehog, but both were pretty bad. I've been saying sega should do this for the longest time. Once i started seeing Sonic go downhill, I've said it should return to it's roots. Take a look at his rival - mario. Mario obviously has been very successful in his 3d adventure/platform games since SM64, as Sonic was sucessful with Adventure and Adventure 2, but after that, sonic starting failing. Look at mario with the New Super Mario Bros on DS and coming out on Wii - its old school Mario gameplay, with current graphics, and up dated gameplay with additional stuff. This is definitely the right move on Sega's part. and that logo for the new game, obviously is an updated version of the original sonic logo, which is a BOLD and ballsy move on there part - i get there trying to promote they're going back to its roots, but if they are even gonna go back to that great start-up screen logo that we all remember from when we were kids with sega genisis, they better deliver.

@EdwardoMario16 I completely agree with you. sega is playing around with these stupid gimmicks for sonic. new characters are good, but they dont need to be crappy. and optionality is always good.

I honestly hope they don't screw this up. Please SEGA, no silly extraneous characters, no crappy human/hedgehog romance. Just plain, simple and great 2D platforming :).

I think they finaly got the idea ( I sure hope so, they need to)

here we go again i just hope i get to see SHADOW THE HEDGE HOG

I hope there will downloadable levels or remakes of the older levels. :)

ill be waiting for the reviews to come before i decide on whether or not to buy this on

I'm sorry, but I've given up on the blue mouse putting out a good game years ago. If it turns out great, fantastic, but I'm not holding my breath for this.

That's nice. They still have to prove it to me, though.

Just make it like the early games and more catchy tunes!
