Why am I suddenly thinking Tim Burton?

That's probably because the little curl thing at the end of the third platform looks quite familiar...

I don't even care if Tails isn't in this game. I mean, Tails holds a special place in my heart(because when my brother and I would play Sonic 3, he would always be Sonic by way of him being 7 years older and a lot bigger than me , and I would always get stuck with Tails. I soon began to love him), but if this game was just Sonic...that would be totally fine by me.

Not to mention bringing back the "Dr. Robotnik" name. . .instead of calling him Dr. Eggman. I'll never understand that. He'll always be Dr. Robotnik to me.

Hopefully the "plot" will have to do with the original Death Egg doomsday machine. Lol. Oh man, old-school Sonic and Knuckles. That was the shit indeed.

Maybe I'm just too used to awful controls but Sonic '06 didn't give me too muvh grief and I found it fun.

Tried the demo long ago, didn't find it nearly as bad as people said it was.
I guess it's not without reason that it's sold as well as it has (that + the fact that it's probably available in every bargain bin for $5 or something)

Still...2-D Sonic would be nice, or even more of the speed bits from unleashed.

I didn't really like the sideview segments in Unleashed. They looked really nice, but the general level design for them were annoying (not that the original Sonic games didn't suffer from this too, as Sonic 1 -> Sonic 2 -> Sonic 3 did a lot of learning/evolving/design-updates... To be honest, I think most levels in Sonic 1 are pretty poor, same with most stuff in Sonic 2. Guess if they're doing a new 2D Sonic, they'll have to start over again, so if we pretend Unleashed is 1, 2D will be 2, then we'll have... good "3" with potentially excellent expansion... if we are to believe in patterns )

But, yeah, I fear the flow chart being true once more. I'm still upset about the XBLA emulations of Sonic 1-3+Knuckles, and I'm not gonna blame Backbone for them (like most other people do), as it's Sega who ordered these, gave them the thumbs up and let them pass "as is"

Project Needlemouse Character Countdown – Day 1



WTF? Where's Tails?

[Zombie Fred]

It's a joke on the whole "shitty friends" stuff people have been complaining for so long, so expect it to just go down to Sonic, unless they have amusingly cruel intentions. At least some people over at Sega have a sense of humour when it comes to this.

I hate most of the new characters. They need to stick with the original trio.

[Branden_Lucero]

pass. it will turn out to be another piece of shit title. i rather have a Sonic Adventure 3 than them trying to go back to roots and fail because of it.

Notice how Tails and Knuckles aren't there. I think Gareth is correct.
