Sega Announces new 2D Sonic title

[Vipershark]

screw it up somehow by giving the game a boost button like all of the other recent Sonic games.

I still don't see why this is a bad thing. Sonic not going fast is kind of a waste. Leave slow methodical platforming to Knuckles.

I actually liked the boost gauge because it gave sonic that Lightning Speed feel...

However, I don't think it should be in. It just diesn't fit with the old style of the games.

But if they were to include it, they need to make Knuckles and Tails (ONLY!!) also playable.

Sonic would be the speed character that has the boost gauge and tricks that flies through levels. His route would be quick and curvy/loopy, right through the middle of the level where there is a medium amount of eneimes.

Knuckles would have the more "all-around" gameplay, more like the Genesis titles. He would still retain wall climb and glide, but would be slower than sonic. He would also retain his water moves and punches from Sonic Advance 1. His route would be slower, and more enemy-infested. He'd mostly take the lower routes of levels.

Tails, of course would fly. He'd have the highest jump of the three, but the slowest running speed. He'd retain his swimming move from Sonic 3. His route would mostly be the tops of levels where there aren't many enemies, and would be more focused on exploration.
