New 2D, HD Sonic Game Coming In 2010

Posted by Soulskill on from the now-with-more-speeding-pixels dept.

Anonymouse writes "Sonic the Hedgehog is going back to his roots, but with a fresh coat of HD paint. 'An all-new 2D side-scrolling High Definition Sonic game is coming with a 2010 release date, according to a new teaser trailer from Sega.' Sega's Ken Ballough had this to say: 'Old-school Sonic fans have long asked to see Sonic return to a more 2D style of gameplay. Many liked the daytime stages in Unleashed but wanted to see a game that plays purely similar to the early games of the Genesis. Project Needlemouse is that critical first step that brings Sonic back to his 2D roots.'"

    -Shadow
    -Silver
    -Archie comic/SatAM characters
    -Chao Garden
    -Car racing

    These are all fan favorites, Sonic fans don't play for the speedy gameplay, they just love the furry matter. Oversaturation of Tails fans is proof of this.

    Even with the '2D roots', it won't satisfy every stupidly bred niche.
