[News] Project Needledick - All New 2D Sonic game

Quote:

Sega teases "built from the ground up" HD 2D adventure--codenamed Project Needlemouse--that aims to return to original game's speed-oriented play; teaser trailer inside.

The new game, code-named Project Needlemouse, will debut sometime next year on as-yet unidentified consoles. So far, the only glimpse of the game has come via a mysterious teaser trailer, which only shows the outline of the new look of the hero at the end.

"Speed returns in an all new 2D adventure built from the ground up" declares the teaser trailer, before showing a blue blur zipping across the screen scooping up golden rings. Accompanying it is a litany of sound effects and visual cues from the first Sonic the Hedgehog, who launched worldwide in the summer of 1991 on the Sega Genesis system.

Unbelievable. It appears all the bitching from the old-school 2D Sonic fans has finally been heard. I hope you all are happy. 2010 is going to be a damn good year.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I need 2 new keyboards...and a mouse...and a monitor.

Their site has a shitload of countdowns next to the locks, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye out on those. Also, it's announced for Wiiware, XBLA, and PSN, but there's a 4th system that they have yet to announce it for.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It looks...okay. It just reminds me of the DS games except it's on one large screen instead of two little screens.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
