Sega Announces new 2D Sonic title

[tsr moderation staff]

megaman 9 was just a rerun of the old gameplay in old graphics for the sake of giving old fans a NOSTALGIA PUNCH. nothing new in the wide sense of the word.

of sega is planning to do the same with sonic and HIS NEW CARTOON RAT FRIEND then i'd really don't expect much from it.

and to add to everything said and seen, i wouldnt expect the "upgraded Genesis-like sprites" we would like to see in a potential Sonic 4.

honestly i would rather that. a game doesn't always have to innovate, that was what made sonic 2/3/k/cd better than the first, they didn't tack on a gimmick or radically change much, they just expanded. obviously there's times to innovate, the 3d age and new games and things, but sonic's venture into 3d was mediocre at best and has gone downhill since.
