Sega Announces new 2D Sonic title

[Vipershark]

actually koopaul that is a good idea as long as knuckles and tails are playable in the original anhd they don't purposely gimp the original game just to make a buck off the dlc by making the true "full" game be another purchase on top of the already 60 buck price tag

[Koopaul]

Eh no. None of that. Just good old Sonic with Eggman plot. Plus new characters if you want them.

[Vipershark]

tha's what I just said
I don't want dlc unless it's only extra characters

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

mighty is essentially just a fusion of sonic and knuckles

he's slower than sonic but faster than knuckles
he's stronger than sonic but weaker than knuckles

so he's fast and can break rocks
edit- and he can walljump

Personally, I like how they executed Mighty in Sonic the Hedgehog Megamix (Can store shields, has Sonic 3's instashield, all-around defensive, as I imagine an armadillo would be), even though he was lacking his wallkick there.

Like a said in an earlier post, I'm a sucker for obscure/mostly obscure characters, like Mighty.

[Ultimecia]

Anyway I'm outta of this party. 360 and PS3 only

But if it's only Sonic and Eggman plot, it shouldn't be hard to make Shadow/Silver/Blaze/Amy Rose/Uncle Chuck/whatever playable if they are common "running hedgehog" type. Same mechanic, just a new variables and switches and you got a new character, new text (don't takes much) and same ol' fun. It could be great for a VS or a co-op mode. Maybe Mighty if did some small tweaking.
Plus Tails (I think he was playable in Sonic 2 vs mode? I recall there was one vs mode you could play as Tails) as optional extra game, maybe with also Cream/Marine/whatever using the same mechanic, and Knuckles/Rogue/Vector using Knuckles base. Add some extra levels and have them as extra download.
See? Not hard to do. Just do a freaking running game and everyone will be happy, without the ridiculous stories.

LMFAO SEGA






oh this looks kinda neat

[Vipershark]

so
shadow isn't playable
that's not really a bad thing, but I think he ranks up there with tails and knuckles as non-sonic-friends
rouge also, but whatever

[Chutzpar]

The following are the only characters who should be in Sonic games from now on:

Sonic
Tails
Knuckles
Nack
Eggman

This is fact.

Chaotix basically need to fuck off along with all the newer characters, btw.

[GrooveMan.exe]

Blaze was good too. D=

[Vipershark]

Yes, and blaze.
She's a legitimate character.

Not Nack though, he's just a sonic friend.


Sonic Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Blaze and Eggman.
Enough characters.

edit- Though a Knuckles Chaotix sequel would be cool as long as it ONLY has the characters from the first one in it.

[zalagan]

most of us anticipated sonic would be the only one left but the challenge still left us on the edge of our seats
this looks really promising now

yeah like 10 years ago

the sonics fans are divided. half are happy that no new rats are added, and the other half is mad because their favorite rat is not added. and the comments on the blog go from hilarious to retarded.

the best part: the "no more content for now guys " being quite a dick move from sega.

[Keychain]

tbh the only characters that should be in it are the ones that were around when the series was still good

this includes vector, espio, and charmy
