Dr. Wily's gonna be the main character??

...Okay, maybe that joke doesn't work so well. Anyhow, if you don't take another look, it looks a whole lot more like this:

"Sarcasm" aside, something tells me I'm gonna have a good Thursday. I'm looking forward to this game.

^ The presence of a hundreds digit in the lives counter makes me wary whether the game will hand out extra lives like they're going out of style.

In an interview with Gamespot, Sega associate brand manager Ken Balough has revealed that Project Needlemouse, a title first teased during the Dreamcast's 10th anniversary last September, will be a direct sequel to the Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog titles. Named Sonic the Hedgehog 4, the title brings back Sega's mascot to 2D, and will feature classic Sonic elements like the spin dash. While it was heavily rumored that the project would be an Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 exclusive it has been confirmed that the title will also be hitting the Wii.

"One of our goals was to make a gorgeous-looking 2D Sonic game. This approach allows fans new and old to see what a 2D Genesis-style game would look like today with modern graphics," said Balough.

While the gameplay is restricted to the 2D plane, the graphics will be rendered in 3D. The game will be released in episodic installments starting with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1. Finally, the game will incorporate motion controls in select areas, run in 480p, and feature leaderboards so that players can compare their best level completion times.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 will be available on WiiWare this summer.

^^In all fairness, when you do something like Sky Land in SMB 3 or the freaking Death Egg in Sonic 2, it's kinda cruel not to have some way of building up lots of lives & continues.

And remember, "I'm-a Tails, number one!"

This level of awesome is soon not measurable.

SweetDeesDiary · 03-18-2010, 06:55 PM

nothing will ever beat the original sonic for sega. well maybe sonic on dreamcast.

Dizzy · 03-18-2010, 07:52 PM

As you probably know, everyone's complaining about the homing attack. But if it's anything like the homing attack in Sonic Megamix, then I'd consider it a welcome addition.

Also, there needs to be Tails tag-along as DLC. I would like it.

Robotazy · 03-18-2010, 10:10 PM

Obviously, this game will suck because Dimps is making it (meaning it's a Rush Clone), Sonic's Legs are too long (This will affect gameplay), and It's not pixelated and blocky.

Obviously.

Embeded for people who don't want to go to SEGA.com or don't live....IN AMERICA.

^I just saw that a minute ago on my other forum. The only response to it was, "That reverb sounds like ass."

I like it, though.
