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.'"

      Screw Linux, I just want Sonic to open up a Drive-in in the North East close to where I live. I'm sick of seeing their ads with no Sonic within 60 miles, and then its only one, next closest is over 100 miles away, in a different direction.

    It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for being subtle.

    I think they use a clock or maybe a watch. An hour is a unit of measurement of time it's 3600 seconds last time I looked.

    That sounds like a good idea... they should consult with the Megaman 9 team.
