Sonic’s classic 2-D video games are going to get revived on the next gen systems this 2010. Fans have been waiting for this moment for a long time now, and although this trailer shows very little, it says a lot. I can’t wait to see some real footage of the game, I hope it gives me a braingasm.
After years and years of (mostly) awful 3D Sonic games, the company is now teasing something called “Project Needlemouse“, billed as a return to the Sonic of old.
“Old-school Sonic fans have long asked to see Sonic return to a more 2D style of gameplay” says Sega of America’s Ken Balough. “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.”
The teaser clip’s tagline reads “Speed returns, in an all new 2D adventure built from the ground up”, with Balough confirming the game will, rather than be a retro-remake, be an all-new game built in HD.
