This assertion is neither from an over-zealous fan nor a young inexperienced child; this is from a learned gamer that understands the subtleties that can make a game MUCH more enjoyable! PLEASE don't have Eggman impassively chuck his robots at Sonic! Show players his eemotions: specifically his energy, , ruthlessness, indignance, passion! Let him laugh and smirk and act how a fiendish person would when confronting their bane.Show him writhing or crying as he sees an expensive robot crushed to scraps! Remember how BEAUTIFULLY your team characterized him during the opening scenes in Sonic Unleashed—and learn from it! We need a VILLAIN, not stagnant 3-D model! I am not implying you have slacked in any of your games. It is simply that I feel I should take this opportunity to communicate to such a respected team and share my 2 cents. How could I resist?! HEAR ME OUT SEGA!

Both of which are level-headed comments... Anyways, I kinda feel like I'm tracking a UPS shipment at the moment, stuck in the cycle of refreshing, seeing no changes, and refreshing again. My patience is starting to grind away... please give us something already, Sega. :( I’ve seen some rather obscene comments making it on this board, and I’m still waiting for two of my own to be approved.

I could've done it as follows: Heya Guys! We're going to flip you off some more by revealing 3 bad sketches for the 400+ pieces of "concept art" (half of which we didn't actually look at, thanks anyways, suckers!). *Image of Badnik* *Image of Generic Green Hill-type zone* *Image of a bad tracing of old 90's artwork of sonic* Today we will be auctioning off a sonic baby bib, cerca 1994. It's an antique collector's item from the mid 90's. A must have for all hardcore sonic fans! Yes, we will be charging obscene prices for a cheap piece of cloth we found behind a desk while snorting cocai-er... working on Sonic the Hedgehog 2006. BUY TODAY!!!

This is a good day to be a Sonic fan, and if Project Needlemouse delivers on even half of its potential it's going to be a good year. SEGA SCREAM! I also agree that this game really needs to come to the Wii. I can understand Sega being attracted to the HD consoles. Even at their lowest points, Sonic games have always looked great. However, there are plenty of old Sega fans who jumped ship to Nintendo when the Dreamcast went belly-up, and when you consider the size of the user base for the Wii... come on, there's no reason this shouldn't be released across all consoles.

I can't afford a ps3 or a 360 so unless my older brother has a 360 i am out of luck on this sonic game if it does not come to the Wii. sure we have to wait but you can't blame people for wanting to know at least what systems this will be on. I mean come on face it there are classic sonic fans on all 3 major consoles and on the DS/DSI and PSP too. We may like or hate this game but only time will tell us that.
