well all you fan boys got what you wanted 2d sonic heres my views

well i was never around the genisis ara but im thrilled to see sonic back in his routes im not sure sega will make him talk or not or if you can select a character to play as or if its just sonic but this looks and fells like (you guesed it) mega man 9 and new super mario bros wii.

will sonic have homing attack or light dash? will there be old school sound effects like green hill on sa2b? will shadow silver or the others have a part? who will the main villan be?

Nintendo capcom and now sega are all taking bold steps into 2D history by redeining are heroes but what do you expect out of needle mouse?(sonics origonal name) well find out in 2010
