You know what, Sega’s death as a console manufacturer still hurts. What a damn shame.

The 32X was bloody rubbish though!

I think the game is codenamed Project Needlemouse, rather than that being the name of the developer. Wasn’t Sonic originally known as Mr Needlemouse?

Anyway, this game might be okay. Sonic really shouldn’t have gone 3D in the first place, so maybe this is the return to form fans have wanted for… well, for longer than Sega deserve people to have an interest in the character.

Re: Dreamcast… another matter entirely, but it basically failed due to developers’ fingers being burned by Mega-CD, 32X and Saturn. As a result, Sega were almost going it alone as software developers (other than Capcom, who made a valiant effort). Of course, the fans had been burned too.

And Sonic on the 360? Well it’s crap, of course.

I’m really hoping for something exceptional on XBLA here.

I always liked playing the original Sonic the Hedgehog games as a kid, ever since the franchise tried to to make 3D games, they seem to lose something and they just weren’t as good.

Hopefully the good times can come back in a new 2D Sonic game!

I always thought the last great Sonic game was Sonic CD (same as the Dreamcast, I didn’t know any other Mega-CD owners either).

I really hope it will be back in the old vein of sonic games. If you’ve seen “Splosion Man” on XBLA, you can see how a “2-D” platformer can really come alive on modern hardware.

I really hope they don’t screw this one up..
