Happy Hedgehog Day!

It was over a decade ago today that this phrase was commonly heard – and with good reason, as it marked the monumental release of a game called Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Now, sixteen years later, we’re back and ready to use it again – because we’ve got big things in store.

As we mentioned over the weekend, we’re turning this week into Hedgehog Week as celebration for the game’s announcement, and for all the amazing work that fans around the world have put in to go above and beyond our challenges. The celebrations kick off today with two pieces of concept art from the first zone, a special giveaway of Sonic 3 signed by one of the Senior Level Designers from the original team, and swag giveaways all day! Then, on Thursday, we’re going to make the internet explode as we announce the real name of Project Needlemouse.

Hedgehog Week Calendar:

  • Tuesday, Feb 2nd: Hedgehog Day Celebrations begin! Two new pieces of Concept Art from the first zone, a sneak peek at the game’s music, and a Signed Copy of Sonic 3 giveaway!
  • Thursday, Feb 4th: The big day! Project Needlemouse’s actual title revealed, and an extra Bonus…

We know a few of you out there are going “But why can’t you just announce the name of the game today?” For you guys: Please trust us when we say that announcing the game this Thurdsay, which will let us do so alongside the bonus, is going to be completely worth the wait. :)

Hedgehog Day Reward #1: Concept Art!

When you’re making a 2D Sonic game, there are some things you’ll almost always need if you want to recapture the feeling of the classics. While momentum based gameplay is a heavy piece of that, the levels themselves also have to exude a style that matches or improves upon what came before them. Often, it is not about attempting to revolutionize, but rather to stay true to the formulas for Sonic’s success that already exist.

The zones themselves – and their environments – do more to immerse players into the world than we might notice at first. Today, we’d like to present two pieces of such concept art, which we hope bring smiles to your faces. Let’s start with a classic:

The Sunflower has long been a defining feature of Sonic’s beginnings ever since it first appeared in the original Sonic The Hedgehog. Along with the Badniks, it returns in the first zone of Project Needlemouse – and, yes, it actually spins.

If there’s one thing we know about Palm Trees, it’s that they tend to hide hidden boxes with power-ups like invincibility. We do not question how exactly such a box managed to find its way to the top of a palm tree, but we do know that finding such boxes hidden in Palm Trees is still pretty awesome. So, consider it official – these guys are coming back, too.

While we know that these two pieces of concept art may literally only be a sunflower and a palm tree, and aren’t exactly the most action-packed pictures you’ve seen this year, they express a spirit of the game that we feel is even more important. From Badniks to Zones, there are some things that mean a lot simply because they exist within a game.

Hedgehog Day Reward #2: Sonic 3 – Signed Copy Giveaway

The concept art may be cool, but it’s not really much of a celebration unless we’ve got even more to give out, right? So let’s get to it!

Today we are going to be giving away a ton of Sonic merchandise, including an exclusive signed copy of Sonic 3, autographed by Iizuka-san, one of the Senior Level designers from the original Sonic The Hedgehog 3 / Sonic and Knuckles team! If collectable merch from Sonic’s early days is your thing, or even if you’re only interested mostly because it’s both rare and awesome, then here’s how you can score it:

1: Post a comment on this blog!
2: Be the person who makes the 333rd Comment.
3: Win signed copy of Sonic The Hedgehog 3, boost coolness by +10.

Additional prizes will go out to people whose comments hit milestones along the way, including the following comment numbers:

1
5
10
25
50
100
150
200
250
300
330
331
332
333
334
400
450
500

UPDATE: Holy cow – we’ve never seen that many comments come in at once before. You guys literally broke our blogs for a few minutes from sheer traffic!

Please sit tight as we approve all the comments so we know exactly who our winners will be – and also, due to the amazing amount of comments that came in, we’re going to add even more prizes to the pot for every 50 comments, starting at 500 and up! We will announce our winners *Thursady* in a new blog here!

Update II: 2,000+ comments, oh my! Due to the massive amount of comments we’ve seen and that are still incoming, we’re going to have to limit the swag giveaway to the first 2,500 comments that arrived on the blog! Please give us some time to go through, remove any spam, and approve all the remaining comments in queue! (Roughly 1,654 in queue at the time of this update.)

Even if a comment may be listed as a winning number now, remember that numbers may change if a spam comment below it gets deleted! So even if yours doesn’t show up as a winner just yet, keep an eye out on Thursday when we announce the usernames of those who won!

Which means we’re going to be giving out at least 17 different pieces of Sonic swag today, including the signed game! Items you could win include a Sonic & Metal Sonic Wall Scroll (Featuring classic Sonic – who has black eyes), a brand new Sonic the Hedgehog Clock, a Sonic Towel and more! All you have to do is be the lucky person who gets their comment in one of the places above, and you’ve won the goods!

Q: Can I spam? What if I just post “ASKDJFLASDJFLKASDJF over and over again?
A: No spam, please! Comment with your thoughts on Needlemouse, your hopes for the game, what you thought about the concept art, etc. Spam comments won’t be approved, so only people who take the time to write out real comments will win the swag!

Q: Do responses to previous comments count?
A: Yes!

Q: Can I post more than once?
A: Yes!

Hedgehog Day Reward #3: The story continues…

Also in celebration of Hedgehog Day, we’ve added up a shiny new piece of flash to the front page of our website! We highly suggest checking it out – after all, it includes the first sneak peak at a few seconds of music from Project Needlemouse! Oh, but don’t go thinking that’s the big bonus – this Thursday, when everything finally goes out, we’ve got something extra special for you guys to complement the game’s real name.

Until then – awesome job once again on the amazing concept art you guys have sent in! We’re going to feature even more of it tomorrow and throughout the week as we celebrate Hedgehog Week, and the upcoming reveal of Project Needlemouse!

From all of us here at SEGA – Happy Hedgehog Day!

Whoops. Sorry for the spam comments, got ahead of myself there. Bad form.

While I was expecting something a bit more… substantial… than two pieces of stand-alone greenery… it’s really nice to see that sunflower back in action. Hopefully those kind of whimsical designs will be the norm again!

…You’re just going to make me sit here holding my breath until Thursday, aren’t you?

Regarding my Needlemouse hopes, dreams, and aspirations however:
I hope that going forward the game provides a satisfying blend of platforming and speed.
I hope for the return of the specialized shields and their unique mechanics.
I dream of collecting all the chaos emeralds.
I aspire to getting 12040 rings before the end of the game. An odd number, but an important one to me.

Old School Sonic FTW!!

Comment # 59

So, Project Needlemouse is going to have a lot of oldskool homage, huh? I kind of wonder if that’s awesome, or lazy? =( I know they’re designing it for us… but it’s as though they don’t know how to design awesome things anymore, so they’re just ripping it from the old games…

Ah well, totally pumped. I guessed right so far, the prizes would be clip of the music, GHZish art, and the name would be Sonic 4 ;P

Though I’m unhappy to see just a tree and a flower, I’m remaining happy to not be part of the inevitable “look how cool and edgy I am lol” backlash.

Comment # 63

You guys forgot that they said “NO SPAM”. So, technically, I should be first. As for my hopes for Project Needlemouse, I’d love to see them return to the creative level ideas of the old days where the level could surprise you by being at a carnival or at an oil plant.

Also, that front page music tease is pretty nice. Really very surprised by how “16-bit” it sounds!

Definitely harkens back to the old genesis days, which certainly gets my thumbs-up! If we can get some simple yet memorable tunes akin to Sonic 2, I’d be totally pleased.

Comment # 87

It’s amazing yet clever how SEGA has manage to get so many people to partake in these activities as a marketing tactic; only to receive a couple of pieces of concept art and hopefully some greater details of the game today. Personally, it’s nice to know up to this point through that concept art that they really are aiming for this to be a nostalgic sort of game.

Well the concept art is looking great, a sequel to Sonic 3? Maybe not Sonic 4 as such but maybe a game that takes place after the storyline to Sonic 3? Can’t wait to find out more, I’m actually pretty hyped for this now.

As long as it’s not like Sonic 1 and we can spindash I’ll be happy. It’s great ebing able to pass your old games along to the next generation, but not when that generation can’t get up the hill because they’re not fast enough.

Sega… This is your last chance comparfed to other Sonic Games. If this is just a tease for another of the line; then you’ve officially killed sonic.

BUT this is also a chance to be the greatest again. I loved sonic back in the day and this is the moment so many of us and the new generation are looking forward to. The problem is NOT repeating what you did before, but what worked. New games are all looks; no heart.

Good luck SEGA, be the best!

The only concern I do have so far is the hype. I’m not on about the attention this game’s getting; I’m on about the possibility of receiving too much hype. It doesn’t help matters really. That’s just going to up some people’s expectations to the point of it’s like some miracle from heaven. Should I put too much expectation to this game, it just only going to ruin it for me.

Well, while I’m certainly excited for the game, and these two concept arts really do give a lot of insight on the feeling of Needlemouse, I was expecting you guys to at least give out some Sonic concept art.

I… teared up in joy. My nostalgi levels increased tenfold. Sonic 1 was the first video game I’ve ever played, so it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Hopefully needlemous will urn out to be as good as it seems and make me relive those times.

I’m so amazed with the news today, and already look forward to Sonic’s next CD release and afrcorse the game we all have been talking about. Wonder how the end boss song sounds….

Its good to see Sonic going back to old roots and having a game to himself again. While I do enjoy some of the other characters, coming out with a new ( and annoying) one every game has kind of made me want to turn away a little bit. Hopefully by just having Sonic, the series can make the comeback it deserves.

Pretty lame concept art guys. I think you could have given us a little bit more…like concepts of shuttle loops, traps, even more Badniks.

I’ve always hated those sunflowers, btw. They stood out to much for my liking…I dunno.

Whatever. Sonic rules. I’m not going to let the sunflower’s return ruin my expectations or experience with this game. Hahaha.

I am truly disappointed Sega. Please listen to my wishes, and everyone’s wishes for this game. We do not want rehashed content, such as old badniks, Green Hill Zone palm trees, sunflowers, and so on. We want brand new levels that don’t rehash things from the older games. We want it to be a classic Sonic game, but not a Sonic the Hedgehog 1 HD remake. Try making brand new badniks, scenery, levels, and the like. After this, I almost expect you to make the foreground a checkered pattern. Please refrain from doing this, as it has been done countless times before. Thank you.

I hope this game is styled like Sonic 3 & Knuckles a bit in level design… Lava reef was my favorite Sonic stage ever, I would LOVE to see a stage developed like that. Though now curious if this stage is going to be like an updated Green Hill, maybe like Neo Green Hill from Sonic Advance…? Well excited to see Thursday, I know not to get too excited but I’m hoping we seen in game shots, or a trailer or even just 10 seconds of gameplay footage… XD; Well I can dream, can’t I? But so far this contest has been fantastic in my opinion. Sure I could say that all I’m seeing are robots and trees, but I get what the blog is saying and so far so good on SEGA’s part, this contest really have involved the community and hyped us, lots of people will be let down if this game isn’t amazing… I give my props to SEGA though, this is getting some major attention even outside the usual fanbase. That’s good marketing.

well i thought the concept art was very spectacular, the sunflower has very nice colors and the fact that it spins brings back that nostalgic feel, about the palm tree it has a very defined amount of detail and i very much appreciate the colors.

i can not wait till thursday :)

prays for a ds port of it i will pay 40$ at least for it willing to go up to 100$ lol.

Looks awesome, sounds awesome! I’ve been waiting for a game that could give me the same feeling I got playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles as a kid. Here’s hoping that Project Needlemouse does just that!

On another note, there should be a Genesis cartridge version of this with extra content if you plug it into Sonic & Knuckles. Sonic 4 & Knuckles sounds pretty good to me! =)

For those who don’t hear the sonic music on sega’s homepage. Hit the flas in the topright corner of the website and change it to the American flag. Then you’ll hear the song. Remember, the language of the site changes with, so remember how to turn it back to your own language when needed.

Comment # 661

So Hedgehog Week begins! It’s kind of fun to think about it, really. Today I had an exam and couldn’t help but smile when I thought about it while I drove home.

I came home a bit miffed. Maybe it’s because of that, but when I read this post I couldn’t help but feel disappointment, which is a first as far as Needlemouse is concerned. The artwork is lovely, and everything that was said is right, don’t get me wrong… but I expected a screenshot at the very least.

Six months and still no screenshots or footage. If this was an ordinary game, then I wouldn’t be like this, but it’s been teased, ovr and over again, the return of the mechanics I love so much. And that’s what I want to see confirmed, more than anything else. Whatever the name it’s going to have, I don’t care. It could be Elise’s Return and I still wouldn’t mind if that mechanics was there, strongly built.

I understand if there aren’t any screenshots available. My predictions dictate the game is for Sonic’s 20th anniversary, so it’s probably in it’s early stages. But really, hype alone isn’t cutting for me anymore.

Everyone who has crossed paths with me on the internet KNOWS I’m quite optimistic most of the time and I’m not a extremist at all. For example I like Unleashed quite a lot, thank you very much. I went bonkers with the first trailer even though NOTHING was shown, I’ve entered the challenges that were proposed, and I’ve been stalking Needlemouse constantly. So this strange negative feeling might be either a cool down, me having a crap day or just setting myself for disappointment.

Or maybe I’ll be surprised and you guys release something about the game thursday. Here’s hoping! Good luck with Hedgehog week, regardless of the outcome. I appreciate all the effort that has been done, which sometimes, it’s not pointed out enough.

I’ll run along now, this is not a soap box.

I expected a bit more than a flower and a tree, but since we still have the rest of the week I guess it’s OK. I want to see something actually NEW about Needlemouse, since both badniks and today’s vegetation are versions of old content. I’d like to see NEW stuff in the OLD style.

The comments are well passed the 500 mark but I want to chime in and say that all this promotion and disclosure on concept art and concepts has really got me looking forward to the game. At this point it seems almost entirely likely the cycle will be broken.

Now all I am waiting for is the disappointing news this won’t be on the Wii :(

I’m really hoping for a NEW Sonic game, and not Sonic 1 HD. Or Sonic 2 HD, or 3. Really, some new levels, some new art, and some new tunes.

Posted by YodaZeltchy1 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:18 pm

Comment # 748

Personally, to hear that Needlemouse will be a 2D game tickles my taste buds. I’m a fan of almost all of the Sonic games but, I am useless at most of the 3D games.

The concept art reminds me of when I was 6, having seen and later played my friends copy of Sonic the Hedgehog on the Master System. This art is very much of what appeared in that game and so to be able to play with a glossy upgrade (obviously, with new gameplay) would re-kindle the very feeling I got back then. I’m intrigued to see more of these :)

The music sounds like the old Mega Drive era, if not slighly later. I hoping that the music of Needlemouse will be upbeat and memorable, like Jungle (Sonic 1 MS), Casino Night (Sonic 2 MD), Mystic Cave (Sonic 2 MD).

In regards to Needlemouse, it’s awesome to see the sunflower again! I love that thing, it’s like, the only piece of scenery I remember when drawing old Zones XD

I’d have loved to have seen a tiny bit more though, but hey, it’s better than nothing.

I for one don’t want this to be DL only. If you guys could at least confirm if this’ll be a hard copy game that’d be awesome XD Because that’s the main point I’m worried about :P

Anyway, todays post couldn’t have made it any clearer that this is indeed a Sonic game going back to its roots. The classic styled music, the surreal environments, and the classic sprites all bring out the true essence of the original Sonic titles.

May this be the most awesome Sonic game ever. :)

I enjoy the idea of a retro take on the game, but the music doesn’t have to be 16-bit. It worked for Megaman, but that’s because that game’s formula never really evolved all that much, and as an 8-bit title, it was still interesting.

Sonic however got significantly better stylewise between Sonic 1 and S3&K. I feel like it’s reasonable to change the style, as long as we get the same gameplay formula.

In all honesty, this latest concept art has done more to put me off this game than it has to get me hyped up. A decent return to the classic format doesn’t mean that badniks and scenery from games passed needs to be rehashed. Sonic 2, Sonic CD and Sonic 3K all got by using original art and original badniks, and they were very successful. If this is going to end up being a lot of reused stuff from previous games, then we may as well stick with the classics.

I hope you prove me wrong, as for me, this game will be make or break for me regarding the Sonic series. The 3D games have been very buggy and rushed and some were far from enjoyable. If the 2D format fails as well, all my interest will quickly disappear.

I figured its worth a try to post another.

It took me a while to get to the US page not realising I could change using the flags. Why isn’t needlemouse on the UK site? Seeing as most Americans grew up on NES/SNES and most UK & Europeans grew up on the Mega Drive, wouldn’t it make sense to be promoting this in the UK and Europe too?

I hope the name reveal comes with a trailer that has gameplay footage.

Now for my comments about the music. The drum instruments to the music was like listening to the old music of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2; that was really neat. The only thing that seemed out of place however was the other instruments; while clear and crisp, it felt like it was clashing with the old drum instruments in a way. I think I’ll be able to better judge the music when more of it gets released.

Saw some comments about the need for a Wii release. I can’t believe I forgot to mention that.

Wii needs this game desperately, and I think it would be a huge oversight to skip over such a large portion of the market. If the system can’t handle the HD aspects, I wonder if we’ll get a watered down version like Unleashed.

If not, I will definitely be buying a 360 for this game. I HAVE NO CHOICE.

Wow… so much spam. Well, I guess when you write you’re giving stuff away, that’s what you get…
Anyway, good job at building hype for the game so far, I do hope it doesn’t disappoint. The biggest issue I had with the recent Sonic games was that the overall style and feel of the classic games was sort of lost in favor of a more Pixar animation-y one, so I’m pretty happy you’re actually taken up on addressing this issue. Now let’s just hope you take your time and not rush it as you’ve done in the past.

As all of the material on show so far has been very Sonic 1 esq, does that mean we’ll be lacking the spin dash? How about the 7th emerald / Super Sonic?

This is going to be awesome, but will it be *perfect*?

I hope the designers and developers of needlemouse are loving the appreciation that’s coming their way via the PR department!

Do like the look of the tree and flower. Having the power ups in the trees is a good way of nostalgia, and part of the joy of the old Mega Drive games was finding all the hidden bonuses, like lives, rings, or special stage entrances or even short cuts.

I’m really looking forward to a new Sonic game, especially since it’s more old school than some of the more recent things.

I’d like it if there was a two-player option, like Sonic 2 and 3 had with Sonic and Tails. I spent many an hour playing Sonic 2 with my Dad when I was little. I was always Tails, since he was immortal. XD

I’d also like to see maybe some shout-outs to the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon shows. ^_^

either dlc, or if they are going with the episodes thing pull a Sonic and Knuckles where each one adds another character to the previous game. Or make a way for us to play Needlemouse into our Sonic and Knuckles Cart.

I’m very happy with all this. I think everybody missed all this Sonic’s universe that have been lost over years, and I think everybody is happy too. I liked very much Sonic Adventure, it was a very good renovation to sonic for me, but after the adventure series, I think Sega has “lost the path” with Sonic. And so, now you present us Project Needlemose. So much hope that it’s what we all really want about Sonic! All we brazilians hope for this!

admittadly, a remake of sonic 1 2 and 3 + knuckles sounded really appealing to me, even if the only improvements were astetic. anytyhing is better than the sonic we’ve gotten since the dreamcast came out. i still feel sorry for not buying one of those.

but if this is really going to be a sonic 4, i expect it to continue where sonic and knuckles left off, ignoring all the garbage from the last decade or so. i dont even really think of that as sonic. :/
and that includes sonic the wearhog, the only sonic game that i didn’t hate (excluding 123k) the daytime levels were awesome and the camera wasn’t better at killing hedgehogs than robotnik (NOT “EGGMAN”)

I really like the music. Sounds very reminiscent of the Mega Drive – which is just great. I’m loving the nostalgia, seeing as I’ve been playing the Mega Drive since I was about 4 years old (19 years ago) and literally grew up playing the Sonic games as a result. The old Mega Drive games are the best of the series by a mile if you ask me, and if “Needlemouse” can capture the spirit of these games (so far it’s looking that way, but I’d really like to see some gameplay soon!!) then I’ll buy it on day one.

Now, here’s hoping for the timeless, original Sonic design to make a comeback in this game, that’d just make my day :D

Love the art, and the music is very nostalgic. Somewhat light on the reveals, but I actually approve. You don’t want to give TOO much out just yet. :D
In any case, once again let me put in my hopes that a PC version will be released alongside the console versions. I’m sure Steam and Impulse would be more than happy to accommodate. I know it’s a bit of a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask . . .

BUG with FLASH MUSIC!
To run the flash file in order to hear the “sound track”
you have to select the “language” “American” in the top right corner. Otherwise it doesn’t play.

I’m kind of excited about the whole thing, however, I think that a continuation of the old-style (retro) Sonic games will soon lead to disappointment. Old-school fans will realize that the old sonic games are not as great any more. Some have already realized this when they heard the “sound track” I think.

However, the Day Stages of Sonic Unleashed are THE WAY TO GO regarding the style of mixed 2D-3D gameplay, the graphics design (theme), the music. I know this will not happen for Project Needlemouse, but listen for the future: Let Sonic 5 be like the day stages of unleashed with some improvements:
- More platforming between “running” areas
- 50% 2D 50% 3D and keep the dynamically changing camera perspectives. The camera perspectives are actually the biggest innovation of sonic unleashed. The changing camera perspectives are what the loops where in the 90ies!!!!
- Return back Sonics classical shape/look. Make him Sawnic! Sonic is a SAW! He should automatically turn into a saw when he approaches a enemy at high speed (not the windshield).

I have always waged the debate about how Sonic the Hedgehog once had a more refined quality than what is seen nowadays. Proof exists in the former games that story, not graphics, was a driving factor in making the title character the awesomeness that he is.
Seeing all the news for Project Needlemouse has caused me to have elated enthusiasm since September 2009. The mere notion that the Sonic I know and love is coming back is too fantastic. I await to be amazed with the same anticipation in Sega’s early years :]

I think Sega should buy the rights to the original theme from Dreams Come True. Hasn’t been the same since the main theme was changed for Sonic 3

If you could let me have at least ONE Sonic prize on this historic Hedgehog Day (historic indeed, because of all the comments jammed into this one blog entry), I would be THE happiest 12-year-old boy with glasses in the entire world-THE ENTIRE WORLD, I TELL YOU!!! So, SEGA, am I all good with this long comment? If so, thank you for your kind support. If this is getting boring to you, I will end this comment with saying peace out and most of all, HAPPY HEDGEHOG DAY!

Where is the most important info about this game besides the name at?

I mean the Platforms that it will be on at?

Because if it is not on the Wii then you have lost a bunch of Classic Sonic Fans right there.

I mean the classic sonic fans who moved to Nintendo will be mad not to get this unless they have a ps3 and or 360 too.

I’m not buying a 360 or a ps3 for 1 game when Sega can give in and give this game to all 3 major consoles instead of just 1 or 2 consoles.

Nice that Sonic is finally going back to the style that made it such a great series in the first place. Really hoping for some Sonic 1 – Sonic CD style music for the majority of the game.

Also heres hoping for a Casino/Spring Yard zone style stage with matching music.

Here’s hoping Sega, while having moderated the comments, will filter the spam posts. The first 12 for example are 0 content, it’ll be gutting for those thinking they’re #Win already though.

Anyone else getting a Sonic 3D vibe from the music – apart from the obvious Sonic 1 credit reference at the start. The way the music whammy’s is what makes it 3D esque in my mind. That game didnt have the best music of the 16-bit era but at least Sega are offering us old-school style music.

Do we know if this is Sonic Team working on this as a definite? Or is it another Sega in-house project department?

I was wondering, if Sonic is the only playable character, how will there be offline/online co-op? Will there be? That would be a huge downer if it does not have at least offline co-op, because the most fun I’ve had is playing Sonic 2 with my bro. (Although personally, that came second to my all time favorite genesis game, Bonanza Bros. which had epic co-op).

Really? Just a palm tree and a sunflower? I was expecting something a little more…dynamic for “Hedgehog Day.” I hope the surprise on Thursday is a trailer, or I’ll be disappointed. Oh, and this game NEEDS to be on Wii. It’d be ignorant not to release it on that console given the success of classic franchises and platformers…

Come on, Sega, release Sonic the Hedgehog 4–I mean, Project Needlemouse–on a Nintendo system, where it belongs. And put more effort in it than the PS360 versions, especially considering Unleashed’s sales that were higher on the Wii!

I’m looking forward to it. As a matter of fact, Project Needlemouse is my most anticipated game of 2010. But I will confess that I’m disappointed by the lack of originality in the concept art. It would be fine if they were in the STYLE of the original games. But, no, all of the images feature objects that look exactly like their Genesis counterparts, with nothing new whatsoever.
But, then again, this is only –as was stated in a certain interview — the first step. As long as the gameplay is fun, I’ll be happy. You could do far worse than ripping off one of the best games ever made

I can’t wait for Thursday so i can finally find out the title for this Epic Game!!!1 I’m just wondering which sonic is going to show up? Becuz while i like the old sonic with black eyes, i really like the one we know of today as it tends to give me that feel thats he’s more up to date. But i’m loving the trip down memory lane with all these cool concept art that showcasing the theme of this game. All i can hope is that you guys at Sega can bring back the feel of the old sonic classic’s while also i hope that the sonic that represented is the one we know of today. I think i just tongue twisted myself lol!!! Good luck with the game.

I’ve always been a fan of Sonic. Though my hopes in it kind of died after the first sonic adventure. Second Sonic Adventure was alright, but everything else just seemed like the team was trying to hard. Werehedgehogs and Sonic with Sword just seemed incredibly off like Shadow using a car, and guns. Though, I have to say my most favorite is Sonic and Knuckles, it was grand and the fact I could play Knuckles in the previous titles were pretty awesome too. I hope the new sonic game will reclaim the popularity it once had with people my age. I hope the Needlemouse will rise to expectations and beyond as well, and hopefully no incredibly silly plot. You have my interest, sonic team! Don’t fail me now.

For some reason, I’m having difficulty getting comments posted here.

In any case, I’m not really sure how I feel about the music heard on the front page; it’s definitely retro, but it doesn’t sound as inspired as the sort of things we heard in Sonic 3.

Posted by The Sound Defense on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:35 pm

Comment # 1347

Holy crap, my post didn’t even submit! Well, I’ll write a new one. :P

#1: The route you guys at SEGA are taking is fantastic. I think I can speak for most that we’re happy as hell to see the old Sonic again — though, the biggest criticism is freshness, so most seem glad it’s a new adventure, rather than a rehash.

#2. I’m not going to win a prize, but I’m glad you guys are doing what you’re doing. Never forget the fans that brought Sonic to where he is today. We’re still fans, and I think a lot of new fans would like to experience this side of Sonic as well.

High hopes for this–I remember standing in line before my game store opened to buy Sonic 3 back in 1994. Bringing back a ton of memories or feigning sick to stay home and play my Sega Genesis on school days! :P

Unfair, I was here super – duper early this morning and there was no update.. now I’m 1000 posts behind *sob*

I never win anything, so I’m not even going to try, I will however give my best wishes to the team behind Project Needlemouse, I hope the game is both successful and manages to recapture the magic that once was. Good luck, can’t wait for Thursday and Hedgehog Speed.

SEGA,

Please listen to synchronizer on post #517 and StephenUK on post #753. What they’re saying is exactly how I feel about all this.

SEGA, if you want this to be a Sonic 4, and I mean if you’re serious about this being Sonic 4, than you need to take this more seriously and actually treat this like a Sonic 4. Honestly, recycling things from the old Sonic games for a continuation of the classic Sonic series is just lazy. Put some imagination into this project; treat it like a treasure. These are the classic Sonic games we’re dealing with, after all, and I think it’d be disrespectful if recycled enemies and props from old zones are used throughout the whole of this supposed sequel.

Of course, I’m sure you’re just going to flat out ignore this, considering this is from a Sonic fan who has played all of the old 16-bit Sonic platform adventures, including the Game Gear games. Maybe these concepts will be just that in the end, but I don’t intend to take any chances. I feel like this has to be said.

SEGA, if you intend for this game to be an all-new adventure, you really, really have to mean it this time.

Assuming the game doesn’t use all new sprites, I’m hoping for the Sonic 2 set. It’s my favorite.

S3K is my favorite game in the series, but I thought Sonic’s sprite looked really odd.

ChaoticFox: I doubt we’re going to hear much of Robotnik again. Renaming him Dr. Eggman is Sega’s way of unifying names between North America and Japan, where he was always known as Dr. Eggman.

Just listened to the music on the front page – I’m not a big fan of it, but at least it’s not “You Can Do Anything.” I wasn’t expecting to get anything from Crush 40 in this game anyhow, so I’m not too disappointed.

Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:53 pm

Comment # 1444

In regards to #1145, most of the 16-bit Sonic titles borrowed heavily from one another, and seeing some classic enemies return is a good thing. Many enemies across the games had the same attacks and functionality, only with a different sprite. And what’s a Sonic game without big, bright palm trees? :D

Comment # 1462

I’ve been a long time Sonic fan, right from the very beginning. After a lot of so so games as of recently, it’s nice to see a glimmer of hope that the series is possibly going back to its roots. Each new game recently claims to be a restart for the series, but I haven’t see that, only the messing around with new ideas, which could have worked, except the Sonic series only has a few concepts that work.

I am really hoping this turns out to be a return to classic game styles. The Sonic advance series was really good, which made it a surprise that they didn’t release anymore. I would enjoy a classic Sonic game the most, but even if it’s just another Sonic Advance type game, I’d be pretty happy to give it a go!

I still don’t know what to make of all this. The Concept Art is pretty good, the music was okay (I am expecting more in the final product; and that did seem to be just a jingle, so it’s alright), but I just don’t know what to expect. Sonic Unleashed had some amazing concept art from AOKI that didn’t quite make it into the final product…I’m assuming you folk at SEGA have quite a few new Badniks and what not to display sometime, so guess we’ll be seeing in the upcoming months.

Just was reading through the comments, and I agree that the seventh emerald and spin dash are must-haves! Will this game be as difficult as the classic games? I’ve never played them, but old-school video games are typically pretty hard.

We almost won during the Console Wars against Nintendo. Heh…..good times. But Let me say this as this might be a true statement. I belive that since we are losing alot of sonic fans as we speak due to failed attempts to catch the attention of gamers from around the world….the Sonic Team must turn this around and Project Needlemouse MUST be the one to bring the Sonic Fans Old and New back together.

Ladies and Gentlemen…………….if Sonic doesnt win this battle in order to claim his rightful place as the greatest video game character…………………….he will lose the war.

If this game is going to be DLC like people are speculating, I wonder if it will be cheaper than a normal release…

Comment # 1597

Well, cheap as this is, I think that now I’m going to resort to posting all thoughts that come to my head about Project Needlemouse and/or Sonic in general until I win a prize. Will it be on topic? Yes. Will it be a really cheap way for me to try and win? Yes. Will the moderators allow me to do it? I hope so.

While I like that Sonic is the main character and I admit that in the 3D games having too many characters with different play styles weakens the overall experience, I wish that Tails and Knuckles were in this game.

sigh..
if this is just a downloadble, i seriously doubt if this is something sonic team is taking seriously, as opposed to devoted fans like us.
project needlemouse is most likely an exercise for intern game programmers.

i’m just going to assume my normal anticipation for a sonic game and covet my false glimmer of hope until the eventual disappointment.
but this downloadable thing has me about 99% more skeptical than ever before.

Man the comment frequency is really picking up.
In retrospect, I will forgive the exclusion of Knuckles and Tails as long as they do something in the game. Knuckles screwing around with the levels like in Sonic 3 & Knuckles would be funny if it was integrated right

#800/Jorge – “Is Masato Nakamura doing the music for this game?”

I really do hope so. I really, really do.
As a matter of fact, he did mention in 2005 that if SEGA wants him to compose for SONIC again, he’ll be happy to do so.
Because Sonic 3 & Knuckles music themes, really aren’t the best of the SONIC series.

His SONIC 1&2 music themes ARE the BEST!!! It’s individually refreshing & unique!

All SEGA gotta do is call-up Masato Nakamura, and he’ll say YES!

Of course, one thing I’m not sure has been mentioned yet is what the special stages will be like. I loved the Sonic 3 special stages, but that was awesome 3D at the time, so I’m majorly curious now. I hope the special stages keep a similiar feel to the original games, but I have to say I was never a fan of the Sonic 2 ones. Maybe put the Chaos Emeralds in the levels like in the Master System series?

Whilst I appreciate the re-use of elements from the classic Sonic games, I hope there are enough new elements to make this game seem like a true sequel to the Mega Drive games, rather than merely a tribute to them.

I was hoping for more complex song. You know, if this is an HD “Sonic 4″, music should also be HD, but with the same kind of progressions and feel from the 16-bit era.

An HD redesign of the classic sonic theme for opening (you know, the opening from Sonic 1&2) would be awesome.

Wow the music was surprisingly retro, I was expecting more modern music. I was convinced the art style would be 3D models on a 2D plane, but now I think it’s possible for it to have 2D graphics entirely again.

Hello Sega,
I Have been a fan since the first Sonic games. I’ve made fan art, I’ve played and owned as many Sonic games as I could get a hold of and loved every minuet of it. I hope to one day be among the ranks of such awesome game creators as you with my art skills. But until then, I give my thanks for the many years of awesomeness that have touched my life and influenced me so.

Having said that here’s what I hope for the new game coming out.
I love the fact that the game is going to be in 2D, even if the backgrounds and characters are 3D. (Though I personally would love to see hand drawn sprites and hand drawn backgrounds but that’s just the artist in me.) I have no doubt that the art well be as fabulous as it has always been. I have always loved the way the games looked with the exception of Sonic Heroes.

Having said that I also know that the music well be above par and look foreword to owning the next sound track to play endlessly next to my other Sonic music.

Now onto the worry areas.
The biggest problem with the sonic games these days, have too me been this. 1: sonic has had a lot of wired things put into the game mechanics that don’t complement him at all. From the wired fishing games to the slow bulky were-hog. I’ve always felt those things detracted from the plat-former + speed boost feel of the games. The last game had really well done speed levels which were almost perfect, except for the missions that were too short and awkward, many people agree with me. They feel more like the old games that sonic was made for. The camera has never really bothered me. (I consider it a challenge.)
2:I don’t mind when you put new characters into a game, when they make sense. Like shadow or blaze. I do mind however when you put a new character in a game and they don’t make sense, such as big the cat or chip. (That and they struck me as really childish and kinda dumb characters, no offense.)
3: Finally the last problem I had was that sonic being the main character wouldn’t have as many levels as the rest of the characters. back when it was just a different character playing through the same levels like an extra, it wasn’t that bad. But I suppose you are fixing that problem.

In closing, I love the sonic games and I well continue to love them. Maybe forever. But I hope for me and every other fan out there, that you take the advice of the many hopeful fans and run with it, making something that generations of gamers can be proud of.

THURSDAY?! Awww, you guys are killing me. D8>

Hmm. So far everything looks like it’s straight out of Sonic 1 and possibly Sonic 2. Are we going to see references to any of the other classic Sonic games in Needlemouse? I personally want to see more of a Sonic 3/S&K element.

The music clip is surprising. I wasn’t expecting it to sound 16-bit, but I guess it’s better than a crappy theme song with terrible lyrics *cough*His World*cough*cough*

Comment # 1838

Let me start by saying that I can’t remember the last time I was so excited about a video game release. The first four games in the series — particularly Sonic & Knuckles, but I’ll get to this in a second — are absolute classics. When I was four, a doctor told my parents to go out and get me a Sega Genesis to improve my poor hand-eye coordination*. I remember sitting down and playing Sonic 2 for the first time, getting to Chemical Plant Zone, dying, and being so compelled to give it another shot. I was totally hooked — the surreal stages, brilliant soundtrack, and raw speed made me an instant fan. Since then, Sonic’s Genesis entries have held a special place in my heart. As I said earlier, Sonic & Knuckles is my personal favorite; I’ve been playing it dozens of times a year since it came out, and I still haven’t gotten sick of it. What I appreciated — and continue to appreciate — most about that game is that, sure, you can speed through it, but it’s even more fun to slow down and explore, to find new passageways and hidden areas. The art, level structures, bonus levels, and power-ups were all absolutely perfect, so I’m hoping Project Neeldemouse draws heavily from S&K. Sonic has continued to fall flat on his face for the past decade or so, and I’d love to see that come to an end. Sonic shouldn’t exist in three dimensions (the Adventure games were fun, Heroes was kind of decent, but everything else was garbage). The attempts at 2D revival weren’t too great either, as they still managed to lose sight of the things that made the early games wonderful. Everything I’ve seen and read about Needlemouse sounds incredibly promising, and it seems like you guys are acknowledging some of the things I’ve said. Despite all the disappointment, I continue to have faith in SEGA, and I hope this game ushers in a new golden era of Sonic.

Sorry for the length. Do you dudes read these things? Wanna send me some free stuff? Cool.

*I play drums in a touring hardcore band now; if the doctor was correct, I have Sonic to thank for the coordination that allows me to do this.

SonicMaster23, what’s wrong with His World? I thought it was a cool song. It certainly had an apocalyptic enough feel for Sonic ’06. If you need to pick on the music to have something to complain about, you obviously haven’t played the game.

I really do hope the Crew making the Sonic game put as much effort into the game as the fans are =) Sonic really means a lot to so many, who grew up with the amazing games up untill Sonic Adevnture 2, when the Dreamcast fell, so did Sonic it seemed.
A new decade and hopefully a new amazing decade for Sonic.
I discussed Sonic with someone today “Leave it in the past, 2D is old, why go back” I soon had him eating his words when I asked if he liked Wall-E (film) he said yes… I said well thats basically a silent film, it goes back and makes what is golden, once again golden in a new age.
Then again with games like Mega Man and Viewtiful Joe…
Put the effort in, you get the rewards.
Good luck from Wales

I remember the first time i got to play Sonic the hedgehog. It was my 7th or 8th birthday (1993 or 1994). I was one of my best birthday parties i had, great presents, great cake and pizza (i think we had pizza), and a whole bunch of my friends for a sleep over.

Toward the end of the night we were all pretty tired from all the fun we had that day that most of us were passed out asleep. I remember my mother and father waking me up and bringing me to the living room. I was half asleep. I could hear my mother taking to my father, “he’s tired, let him sleep and show him tomorrow.” but my father was too excited to let me go back to sleep.

They had told me that there was one more gift that I had forgot to open. They brought out a big box and told me that it was something I had been wanting for a while. Half awake I clumsy ripped open the wrapping paper. As soon as i saw that beautiful blue word “SEGA” i was no longer tired. This was no time to be tired. Like Ralphie Parker from “A Christmas Story”, I tore open the wrapping to behold my own “Red Rider BB Gun”. It was a brand new “SEGA GENESIS 16-Bit Video Entertainment System with Sonic the hedgehog 2 game cartridge”.

My family wasn’t rich so I knew my mother and father had worked really hard to save up the money for this. I thanked them so much and said that I would work extra hard at school and bring home straight A’s ( really got mostly B’s but a few A’s were thrown in there lol). I could see how happy my parent were when they saw me.

I hooked up the Genesis and popped Sonic 2 in there. I can still hear the word “SEGA!” resonate in my memories. Seeing Sonic and Tails and playing the first level I knew I was a Sonic Fan for life. Ended up playing till midnight ( that was pretty late for me at 7 or 8 yrs old) before my parent said it was time to go back to sleep. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep that night lol.

Like my story, I am sure there are many different and similar stories that us Sonic fans have about our first interaction with the speedy blue hedgehog. It really makes my day to know that Sonic is returning back to it roots, not to say that the 3D games were bad, its just they really missed that sonic feel us guys that grew up with Sonic know. Good luck to SEGA and Project Needlemouse. I hope you really knock this one outta the park.

Eggman and Robotnik are both used these days, Dr.Eggman being the name he was created with in Japan.
Dr. Robotnik being the name America and Europe gave him, Now Sega use both Dr.Ivo Robotnik being his birth name and Eggman being a Nickname or a Super Villain Alias.

Sega decided to merge them and thats cool. my preff? Dr.Eggman it just seems awesome to me, I can’t stop thinking of PINGAS and PRRRROMOTION with Robotnik :P

ChaoticFox, one of the spoiler sites indicated that this game was the first in a series. Then again, Shadow was meant to be the first game in a series, but a sequel was never made… but this game should be much better than Shadow’s.

So yes. These are the reasons I’m looking forward to Needlemouse:

#1: Sonic 3 and Knuckles is still my favorite game ever. Any game with similar gameplay will catch my interest instantly.

My one worry with this anticipation for Needlemouse is that it won’t live up to my expectations. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was an amazing game, and one of, if not the best games on the Wii, but I had been waiting on it, imagining how incredible it would be and in the end, I was let down by it. My own imagination had doomed the game before it came out

Any clue how much this game will cost? If it’s a download, they won’t be charging full retail for it…. maybe it’ll be $20? A classic-style Sonic game for $20 would be the bargain of the century.

I remember how shocked and amazed I was by the short snowboarding segment in Ice Cap Zone. It just seemed so radically different, and yet so very fitting at the same time.

Do Sonic’s jumps make sounds in the modern games? Now that I think about it I can’t remember. I do fondly remember the distinct, logic defying “bwoop!” sort of sound that can have no justification for being there in the old games though. Ah the memories…

@1473: Well wholeheartedly agree… but it just seems like there’s a lot they could do style-wise that never would have been thought of before, while still keeping true to the classic formula. Each game adds a unique flavor to the series, and I would be pretty disappointed if Sega took TOO many steps backward and made a game based on only the elements of Sonic 1.

Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm

Man, this seems like it’ll have too much of the first game and not enough of the second.

I wonder if these comments are going to be moderated and whether the “omg did I win?” posts are going to count towards the total. I admit that I’m somewhat guilty of some of those myself, but it would be interesting if the comment numbers we’re seeing were counted differently and the winners came as more of a surprise tomorrow.

I don’t know how much space on a game disk it would take up, but if you could include an actual 8 bit version of the entire game (which I’m guessing would fit along with the real one) onto the disk, that would be simply amazing!

Sega, if you are reading this: PLEASE release this game on the Wii, there are more REAL Sonic fans on the Wii then any other home console. I’m one of them.

My first sonic game was sonic2 for Genesis but I adored sonic 3 and knuckles the most. XD

I hope that the new game has Robotnik as Dr Robotnik and not Eggman. I don’t mind the name but I love Dr. Ivo Robotnik most as that’s what I grew up with.

With the upcoming release of Sonic Classics Collection for the DS and hopefully this, alot of people are going ot be playing retro sonic quite often for awhile

just recently i bought a copy of the Sonic & Knuckles collection for PC to add to my growing collection and really loking forward to seeing this game come to life alot of people including myself have been dreaming of a true old school sonic for along time now

i really would like to see this game have a save system like Sonic 3′s more so then Sonic CD’s and definitely got to have the old sonic theme song and memorable act passed/stage complete theme that was sadly not in unleashed

Shane, why is the Wii a joke? Because it did things differently instead of focusing on graphics like Sony and Microsoft? You’ll notice that Sony and Microsoft copied the idea of motion sensing from Nintendo. Is motion sensing only a joke when Nintendo does it, and not when competitors copy it? And if it’s a joke, then why do the supposed non-jokes want to copy it?

Oh, I didn’t even read it all. Man. How many prizes do they have!? They’re going to have to start coming up with random… carp… or something… take what, 17, up to 500 that was I guess, then 1000, every 50, that’d be 20, so they’re up to 37 now…

Anyway if this doesn’t release for the Wii I’ll throw a brick through Sega’s house. Or, uh… something. It seems people want it for the Wii, that is being for sureness. There’s at least 10 comments about that, and I’ll never buy a system solely for just one game ever again. At least not a 360.

And I’m disappointed that no comment comedically tossed in “ASKDJFLASDJFLKASDJF over and over again?” given that they never had an end quote there.

I would love it if they had some pre-rendered cut scenes where it’s not in game graphics but done beforehand. But nothing with talking or anything too fancy. Just like level transitions or credits/titles and such.

Sega has had poor sales lately, i mean look at Black Knight… That game’s crap! Needlemouse better be good, and TRUE to the originals, maybe some Sonic CD stuff like the figure 8 dash….that was cool. Ooh, maybe DLC…..good DLC…and,, um , yeah, ON THE WII!

Wii is for people who love ALL types of games: Rpgs, Action adventure, Platformers, stategy etc. Other systems are for people who love FPS.

If this game isn’t released for the Wii, then I will be severely disappointed in Sega. There’s been a constant criticism that Sega is all about the money. Well, another console means more sales and more money. Sega, I WANT TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY. But if this game’s not on the Wii, I won’t be able to buy the game. Someone else will get my money. Not you. Do you want that?

They are still good, just not as good as the Adventure series, or your old games. The concept art looks cool, and I like the new music. I hope the game is as cool. I just can’t wait until Thursday!! Also about tomorrow, I really hope I get a prize. Sonic, peace out man. Keep on making games Sega!!! So much hype!! this is such an incredible experience. Sonic has been my favorite game character for so long. Man I’m so darn thrilled!!! Classic game!! I must win.

Yes, please take us back to Mobius. South Island, Westside Island, Angel Island… I prefer a Sonic game where the only (somewhat) human character is Eggm– Dr. Robotnik.

They should add screaming when you open up a badnik in the air and the animal goes plummeting down from the sky. Then you could have Tails swoop in and save them… or just have parachutes.

Maybe you could do some special packages with this game eh? Like have it come with a specialized controller (all Sonic artwork of course) or a t-shirt, or xbox faceplate or something like that. Other Sonic merch featuring old-school art for sale not bundled would also be amazing. I know I would buy a fair chunk of it!

SEGA have really outdone themselves this time- they know where their strengths lie (the fanbase, mainly). If we pull together, Needlemouse, or Sonic 4, or whatever they decide to call it in the end, will be a smashing success. I’m sure of it.

YES! YES YES YES! POST 1650 BABY! I desperately hope that nothing in the rules or posts or anything changes so that I don’t get a prize. And Sega, you send me whatever you can spare and I’ll be thankful, but if you can, pretty please get me that Sonic and Metal Sonic wall scroll. Please?

And as a final thought, this was a fairly genius marketing move. I was initially very hesitent to consider that Project Needlemouse would be a good game, going so far as predicting that it would be comparable with Sonic Unleashed, a decent game in the day stages, but certainly not the rebirth that Sonic needs. After all this hype though, despite doing my best to keep my expectations low, I’m genuinely excited for Project Needlemouse. Can’t wait until Thursday when I get to learn it’s name!

In response to comment # 1612 (oh yeah like anyone’s going to go check what comment that was):

Yeh… since a 50th post mentioned the wii the prize will be that it’s on wii right right right. HD is a dumb concept! Oh look, now you can see EVERY SINGLE PIXEL ON SONIC’S NOSE, HOW GREAT IS THAT!! But seriously that’d be a dumb reason to not have it on the Wii.

I’m noticing a severe lack of posts that have something that hasn’t been said the last thousand times, but, uh, do what you gotta do. Hopefully what you gotta do isn’t posting part of a comment, posting the same comment with more added, posting that comment with more added, and doing it… like… a few more times. It’s a good way to show your support… for, uh, getting prizes, apparently.

Also about tomorrow, I really hope I get a prize. Sonic, peace out man. Keep on making games Sega!!! So much hype!! this is such an incredible experience. Sonic has been my favorite game character for so long. Man I’m so darn thrilled!!! Classic game!! It will be good, I can tell. This is such a historical time. Make it work Sega! To all the other fans, lets play this game to the ground!! I hope we get a release date soon. then all of our waiting will be worth it. Also, please no werehog guys. he was kinda fun, just not so much of him. Anyway, hope this is cool.

wow…. so many fans… you must be doing something right SeGA… .. well i think you are anyway. I’ve stuck by sonic for all these years, loving every game and being a sonic fan, even when my other gamer friends made told me how lame that was… oh well who cares about them. I just can get over how cool this new game is looking. Old school style meets a new twist with the spotlight back on the character it should be. While some of the charaacters have been alright over the years, others have drastically made the games worse. Its great that sonic is taking his games back. Its also great to see some familiar faces in the scenery and enemies. Can’t wait to see the plot and some actual graphics from the game. :)

This just shows that Sega can get away with Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic ’06 and yet people still hold Sonic’s name reverent. Sega’s had problems in the past with brand loyalty but Sonic is definitely an exception.

Now that I have a 50 spot. I can discuss more about my hopes and aspirations for this game. Sega please give this game a TRUE Multiplayer feel. It is the great new aspect of next-gen gaming. Sega was ahead of its time in Sonic 2. I think Nintendo went a bit overboard with 4 player mario bros. 2 player is great for sonic but make it truly cooperative with tails and sonic being helpful and possibly split screen gaming. I think you should add more looping and vertical loops and hey why not horizontal loops? I know you guys can make a great Sonic game when you put the time and creativeness into it. I hope to be one of the first to buy this game if it come out on the Wii!!!

I wouldn’t mind having Knuckles or Tails in this game, but I think it’s a good idea to keep it as Sonic only to re-establish the series a little bit. Then we can add in one or two more, but Sonic needs to regain his street cred.

How is it dumb? It seems a bit fair that they’re going to name a classic style 2D Sonic game “Sonic the Hedgehog 4″. Sure it may not be the name, but there’s a good chance that it might be too.

Posted by Cruizer on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:35 pm

I hope the name isn’t going to be the same fiasco as the Nintendo Wii.

Revolution sounds cool then it was the Wii, we insulted it and laughed at it but now we live with it occasionally poking fun.

Needlemouse Sounds cool so don’t mess up the name.

P.S. SONIC HEEERRRROOOOES

If you listen carefully, there is usually a trace of the original invincibility music. It’s quite clear in Heroes.

I’m gonna have to say holy crap almost 2,000 posts in 6 hours!! Wow :)

But that just goes to show how excited people are for this, Sega

I’m going to have to strongly disagree with those who protests the return of old school badnicks, flowers and trees. I’ve said it before I’d love to see an HD remake of some of the Genesis levels (although I’m still thrilled this will be a brand new Sonic game!), but if there won’t be any old school level remakes as bonuses or DLC then I’m absolutely ECSTATIC YOU ARE BRINGING BACK THE OLD BADNICKS, PLANTS, AND TREES! :)

If anyone agrees say so!

An HD 2D Sonic going back to its roots! I haven’t been this happy since I first played Sonic 2 on my Genesis back when I was 10. :)

Why would we want it called Sonic 4? Give SEGA some slack dudes, they’re not magic workers. Calling it Sonic 4 would be ASKING, just ASKING for fanboys and the like to complain that “it’s not classic”

Dear Sega,

The first game I ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis when I was 4 years old. I have since amassed every Sonic game for the Genesis, and have played almost every Sonic game made. And for years, I have been disappointed. However, I am not deterred. I know Project Needlemouse has the makings of a great Sonic game. You can do it Sega! Bring back the good old oldschool!

I’m sorry but when I listened to the music on sega.com, it sounded REALLY BAD.

It honestly sounds like what I would hear if I played some Brazilian ripoff of Sonic 1.

The music needs to be good more than it needs to be genesisey. And if it is going to be genesisey please aim for Sonic 3 & K. Since that one had the best soundtrack.

The boost dash that was added in Sonic Rush really gave a whole new feel to the 2D-style games. It would be neat to have it in this one, but also refreshing to have nothing fancier than a spin dash.

If this game is coming to XBLA and PSN, it has got to have online multiplayer, and super transformation in-game. I hate waiting until the final stage every time.

I just listened to the song.

At first I didn’t think it was all that hot, but replaying it over and over again.. it’s starting to fit as a Title Screen theme song. At least it sounds pretty good for a Sonic 3 and Knuckles sequel. :)

If the inevitable Green Hill Zone will be in this game, then could you at least alter it a bit kinda like Sunset Hill from Sonic Advance 3? (make it a night stage, Green Hill for example).

i could do with a return to the floating island where knuckles is supposed to be guarding the chaos emeralds.
…come to think of it why did he allow sonic to steal them for the last 16 years? talk about incompetence. super sonic is indeed awesome, but it should always be earned.
when the game is over knuckles should get them back and if sonic needs them badly enough he should need to earn the right to use them.

I’m not particularly impressed by the music. Great that it’s returning to Genesis-style and all, but that clip felt fairly uninspired and unmemorable. Hopefully the rest will be as catchy as the classic Sonic tunes.

I hope Metal Sonic will show up in this. Preferably as a main enemy. He really needs to be brought back as he’s supposed to be, not as he is in the comics where he blows up every five seconds.

Well, I was hoping for something a little bit more substantial, but still better something than nothing. And congratulations to DarkSonic. I checked earlier around noon or so and when I didn’t see anything I figured I’d just check tonight. Bit of a mistake, but oh well. XP

Still, I hope Sega’s trying to do more than just copy/paste/edit the classics. Instead of reassuring me, it’s actually worrying me. I mean, sure, it’s great to see all these nostalgic items again, but…I don’t think we’ve actually seen anything NEW yet either…Well, hopefully Hedgehog Week has something special in store…>_>

I have some high expectations for this game, but i have a feeling that most ( if not all) of them will be met this time around. true i’ve played all the sonic games and liked them, but they did let me down a little bit each time. everything always seemed so great then something always ewnt wrong. this time however, i know everything is going o be right. SEGA has put a lot of effort into this game to please its fan base so i have a feeling that this time everything will be great. I’m looking forward to more information on thursday and am highly anticipating the realease of this great looking game. great job sega and good luck sonic!

Quick, we need the end-level victory music and the sound of rings being counted, for I think everyone here has won in their own special little way.

And in the end… Isn’t that was Christmas is really about?

Wow, last time I checked, there was 890 comments. Now there are over 2000. Anyway, This game needs Super Sonic playable in levels if you have 50 rings and 7 chaos emeralds. It should also have special stages, but preferably a new type of special stage, since the stages in Sonic 1, 2, and 3 were all so different, this one should be different too.

Seriously Sega give us the systems this will be on before you give us the name of this game.I only want to know if i will be getting this or not.

If this comes to the Wii i have the points for it.I don’t care if it is a 1 player game like Sonic 1 and you go from there for this game’s successor if it is great but this game is a must for all 3 major consoles if you want it to be successful and i mean that too.

Anyway, if we can expect to see any returns from classic bosses (Ex. My absolute favorite character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Metal Sonic) I hope their moves stay in tact while adding new ones for a surprise.. just a thought.

who remembers this…..

you just blazed through Sonic 3, and you come to Robotnik firing cannon balls high and low at you…big deal….you just stand on his little lever, time your jumps, and hes history….then you jump in a little airship, and Knuckles is standing on a pillar….so, naturally, you fly directly at him….curse the 2D world. then robotnik takes off, Knuckles falls, realizing the obvious betrayal….then you face crazy Robotnik in a flying missile, armed with lasers, and a pesky revolving orb of death. this must surely be the end guy, i mean, he broke apart 3 times. so you kill him, get goosebumps for beating the game…..and then…….

can we get more of this please?

what the heck are chaos, what are they good for other than having a level almost completely devoted to the motion engine powering rouge’s boobs? (i noticed this the first time i saw my 5yr old brother-in-law playing one of the gamecube sonic games [i think it was battle something])
the little blue flying globs only seemed to make the sonic universe needlessly cuter. i must emphasis that i like a darker serious sonic, not a sonic that belongs on nick jr.
take sonic CD sonic, and sat AM sonic for example: awesome.

I gotta say, I find it a little funny that basically at the same time that the new 2D Mario game comes out, there’s a new 2D Sonic game coming out. Think Sega took notice of how that Mario game was constantly selling out? The only difference is that the 3D Mario games were pretty sweet, just as good as the 2D ones, only different. The Sonic 3D ones on the other hand were…….not so great, if I’m honest.

SEGA, thank you for not deleting my comment, #400. I posted something more informative regarding the concept art, saying it looked good and very similar to the original Sonic 1 but most of my comments was awaiting moderation and never went through. As well the blog was being sent with several hundred messages at once and I hesitated and posted cheers instead of opinions like my formal posts that didn’t go through, please don’t disqualify me. =(

Sega, some classic Sonic merch would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, Sonic’s shoes. Not shoes with Sonic on them (although those would be just as sweet), but rather Sonic’s red shoes with the white stripe down the middle (no stupid buckle!). I have looked everywhere for a pair that mimicks these, but have never found them.

Comment # 3362

Sega’s gotta know that if thinks tanks…….. that’s pretty much it as far as Sonic is concerned.

I mean, they’ve tried to reinvent him before…..when they didn’t need too :(
Now that it’s back to basics it’s really going to be fun again.

There is a serious lack of Platformers in today’s gaming, New Super Mario is good….. but that’s about it.

Nintendo knew it so they fixed it, Capcom know it so they made a game, now SEGA know it.

It is a seriously great time to be a Platformer fan as I see this being a new #trend.. (twitter joke) but yeh I really hope this spawns another 2 games at least so we will have Sonic 4-6.

Then maybe the world will be ready for a Sonic 3d or some kind again.
Sonic on DC was great.

no, Groudon. Sonic 2006 was a disaster and started the dramatic spiral downwards from the high standing sonic to what he is today, worshiped by 12 year olds and recolored in MSpaint to fan characters.

Sure both pieces of art is great but if you are going to add more how about another trailer on thursday when you announce the name of this game too.Again i care more about voicing my wants and needs for this game to be on the wii then my getting a prize so if i get anything then fine i will get something.

But all i want is to play this on my wii like every ps3 and 360 fan will no doubt get to do since this game will have hd support as well.So please sega let the Wii fans get this on Wiiware as well unless you are planning for this to be a disc based game instead because i want to buy it in some form and play it without needing a new console.

I can’t wait to hear the name for this game! I’ve been waiting for this since like October or maybe earlier ;0 This is like the moment when you go into a store and see something you really like and you get that feeling that makes you soooo happy once you buy it. That’s how I feel about this game, as soon as it comes out I will be at gamestop buying it! What Sega fan doesn’t like Classic Sonic games this is so cool, especially since my favorite Sonic game off all time is Sonic 2 :D The concept art is looking very good so far so I know that’s just one more thing I can look forward too haha I’m getting excitred just typing this…now I sound like a freak but I’m happy to sound like a Sega freak!

It’s probably debatable whether or not Sonic 2K6 STARTED Sonic’s downhill career, but it certainly is the sharpest decline IN that drop. If you’re at all interested in what I like to call “Sonic: Now Loading”, I would advise you try to find some Let’s-Play videos of it on YouTube. They play it for you so that you don’t have to.

I’ll be even happier if this game has co-op, like how Sonic 2 and 3 was, running around with Tails was fun, because he couldn’t die from enemy hits. In Sonic 3, he was very helpful, in some situations.

Also, there is a REALLY nice remix of Dr. Roboniks theme I heard on youtube that I thought would sound WICKED in needlemouse. But I know it won’t be in the game… But is anybody wants to hear it anyways, and if SEGA is looking for a guy with nice tallent, “get a load of this”.

Now, that last one wasn,t even done in hopes of a prize.

But it had a really lame joke…..

Lol i restate my you people are prize beggers lol and i mean big time.

Any way i hope the story is shorter then Sonic CD’s Story.All i want is maybe they say Sonic meets Robotnik or something and then it goes to the game much like the first Sonic games like Sonic 1 did.

I’m back. 2009 was not a good year for gaming but 2010 will be great. Needlemouse is coming, another zelda (I’m sorry but I love some non-sega games as well), epic Mickey-it can’t get much better. But I’m most excited about Sonic 4, if thats what it is in fact called.

@ I Shot Web

Tails ruin Sonic? I don’t think so. Tails HELPED Sonic carry on his career! Tails is part of what made Sonic 2 and 3 sell so well!

But… What I never understood is why SEGA decided to make Tails a BOY instead of a GIRL. I mean, that was SEGA’s plan at the start… But Tails was turned into a boy during the final decisions on Sonic 2.

BTW, I really want special stages in this game, SEGA!

Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 8:54 pm

Comment # 3595

Also, another anecdote.

When I was a kid, I always wants a stuffed Sonic doll. I could never find it.

Than one day, I went to a flea market. There was a video game store that had several Sonics.
I asked to buy one, but the lady told me they weren’t for sale.

Then she gave it to me. It’s sitting a few feet away from me now.

Once again, thanks for the memories.

the genesis games weren’t really ever fast enough for me, none of that was ever believably supersonic speeds. some games recently have achieved that look of the shock-wave at least but they were more or less going for a ride and pressing the odd button.

The ones who keep saying that they missed it by one or 2 posts have proved my point tho so you know mr 2,500 lol.

Any way i hope that if this is on the wii that the Classic Controller is supported as well.

I don’t care about all of this Sonic the hedgehog 4 naming rumors let’s talk more about better names for this game or the possibility that Sega could change Dr. eggman’s name back to Dr. Robotnik as his grandfather was refered to in the Sonic adventure 2 battle game that i played on the gamecube.

How humans destroy and kill nature for their own selfish benefits.

Comment # 3699

A main thing I want to see is the new “secret” final boss. Sonic 3 was the very first introduction to the “unlockable” boss idea by collecting the 7 emeralds. And that led on to the 7 world rings, and so many other ideas. I am also curious to see the new sonic transformation scene. Those clips always get me pumped up! I loved the Black Knight clip, that was SO cool the way the armor just went BAM, SWOOSH! And the swords big KABLAM moment!! God that was amazing! I also like Sonic Advance 2′s transform clip. Pixel 2D or not, that was a cool scene.

Hey, does anyone know which console(s) this will be released on? I’ve read all the Sonic Blogs & I can’t seem to find out if they’ve said that it will be released on all of them though. They do mention it will be Sonic in HD, which tends me to think they’re not releasing it for the Wii… That will be massively dissapointing if us Wii users miss out.

Comment # 3847

Yo! Sonic team!
Bring this game soon! True Blue Sonic fans have been waiting forever for a game like this. And while I’m all for sticking to the classic formula, gives us skins so we can at least pretend that we’re playing as tails, knuckles, or shadow. Even if it’s as DLC. And while I know they aren’t original, please keep the light dash and homing attack; some of my favorite moments in sonic games have been dashing along a trail of rings or stringing together an awesome homing combo. Though they obviously take second to just blazing through an area at speeds unmatchable by any other. And like other fans I would love having the emeralds and super/ultra transformations back in any level. And I’d love to know if you guys are still gonna have good ‘ole Eggman in the game.
From what I’ve heard and seen it looks like you guys are on the right track!

Comment # 3850

i see your name links to a planet mobius link (>>>http://pjj.cc/pmc/<<&lt ;) Kiajinn. not bad. i normally am a satam fan. not to offend others fans. i respect that.

Project needl mouse is a good start to the what is the Prime sonic and who is the originall one thanks saga

also for the one fans of the OTHER SONIC MEDIA here is a idea of the sonic universe please make the originall sonic games (on playsaga.com) the prime sonic universe. i hope the needle mouse game is like that all the way to sonic three and knuckles and if not make the next game be like that.

so if you are a fan of the other media here is a idea of alternativ dimensions(if i could find a sonic vesion in stead of a strong bad version), imagine needle mouse as the prime sonic:
http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail150.html
or sonic team
http://sonicparadox.webege.com/

so if you are sorry about missing characters there is a big promiss that maby there will be 1 game for each sonic universe of your likeing.

I remember peaking at youtube video of the sonic movie and hearing the qoute "there is only one sonic". this is probably what fans worried and explains the sonic puratist of today
afraid they will dump the sonic WE EACH LOVE,

It can be (and perhaps is )verry unfair to the fans to make one sonic continuity more existent than another

it is my dream that we can enjoy the sonic universe that we each like without anihilateing each others univers could you do more prime sonic on playsaga.com then we cantravel thoug a portall to another sonic universe if we wont to just respect each other there is not one sonic and we are not alienateing each other as long as we can keep in our own sonic wourld which i think we should have more access to on play sega.com that way we dont have to worryand not haveing our favorite vesion sonic missing respect each others tast for the blue blure.

i also ask that the fans visit http://www.playsega.com/ to see what we mean about this and the old classic beginner game that started it all (untill the continuity war of ther is only on sonic)

thanks sega for going back to the old loveable sonic games sonic grew from and "branched from" and with the hope we can truly enjoy the sonic (wether it be satam sonicX sonicundergroud or fleetwaycomics) that we really want or like.

( multivers defender, and supporter and secret ally of Zonic)

p.s. very excited about the game. would love to relive the genesis ages of sonic all the way to sonic three and knuckles in the twenty first centurry, brought to the twenty first centurry maby like sonic heroes without the teams or just a 3d game. and please make a veshion for a pc or for the internet on play sega.com(i dont have and cant afford a ps3 psp xbox or wii or game boy, i prefer the internet). thanks.

While I admire that they may be pruning and weeding out all the spammers in the comments, they are giving the handful of winners-for-3-hours headaches in the process by making them see their numbers go up or down, and out of the prize-winning slot that they’ve occupied for a good long time now. I imagine it would feel like being handed a trophy, happily haning onto it for a couple hours, and then having the officials come in and take it out of your hands again.

Ouch :(

If they hadn’t removed spam comments, we would be fine. If there was a spam-comment in a prize-winning slot, then maybe they could have swapped that comment with the one underneath it (e.g. spam-comment 50 with non-spam 51), effectively negating it as well as not ruining it for everybody below them.

Oh well, I guess this advice won’t help anything at this stage in the game… but that probably would have been the better solution for those of us who have been happy knowing we WERE winners.

Well, let’s not let this little messup spoil the fun of Project Needlemouse being unveiled. This is looking to be a great game!

What the hell is going on? It’s look like as remake Sonic the Hedgehog 1!! It’s Green Hill Zone, isn’t it? But Sega said, that Project Needlemouse won’t be remake of old Sonic’s games… I dont’t understand nothing…

@7Chaos… they aren’t recreating the game, but they are basically basing this new game off the classic games, so they have all elements from the old games into a ‘new adventure’

Same. I was 300, and I was shocked to see that I was moved down. Some people have been going at this for hours, too. It should at least be fair that the people who got it first get their chance.

If SEGA can give SONIC 4;

30-50 Zones.
Masato Nakamura to compose.
Hirokazu Yasuhara to design the stages…
I swear, It’ll be an Instant Hit for SEGA,

“Even if a comment may be listed as a winning number now, remember that numbers may change if a spam comment below it gets deleted! So even if yours doesn’t show up as a winner just yet, keep an eye out on Thursday when we announce the usernames of those who won!”
Wait, does this mean that the people who had a winning number before will get prizes, or does it mean that the spots are up for grabs till thursday depending on the amount of spam comments?

Please emulate the Genesis sound chip for the music in this game. The best part about the Genesis Sonic games were their music. If you can nail the music down, that’ll be half the battle won.

Posted by Sinth64 on February 2nd, 2010 at 10:22 pm

Comment # 3975

#800/Jorge – “Is Masato Nakamura doing the music for this game?”

I really do hope so. I really, really do.
As a matter of fact, he did mention in 2005 that if SEGA wants him to compose for SONIC again, he’ll be happy to do so.
Because Sonic 3 & Knuckles music themes really aren’t the best of the SONIC series.

His SONIC 1&2 music themes ARE the BEST!!! It’s individually refreshing & unique!

All SEGA gotta do is call-up Masato Nakamura, and he’ll say YES!

Comment # 3994

Well, saying the people who have moved up and into a prize-winning slot don’t deserve it is a little unfair. The problem stems from the fact that they did originally say spam comments weren’t going to be counted, because they were ultimately posted anyways, therefore affecting the numbers of everybody below them. But the situation has now turned on itself because those prize-winners who were established before the spammers got pruned have been happy all day knowing they landed those spots. They are NOT going to be happy once they see their new spots, and I think a good majority of them (that know their numbers, that is) are going to speak up about it as soon as they realize it.

I just think there could have been a better way to handle this little contest from the start…

As for the distribution of the game: Please SEGA, do not make it a WiiWare, XBLA or PSN game! That would completely ruin the fun of sonic @ $5 a game it would also screw up your profits… I hope you release it as a disc game – thanks!

To everyone complaining about moving down: Quit whining.

Put on your big boy underoos or your big girl panties and wait until they announce the winners. They originally told us it was certain milestones to 500. Then they then added every +50 after that. We flooded them, so they had to cut it to the first 2,500. They’re giving away free stuff. They don’t have to do that. If you win, awesome. If you don’t, accept defeat and don’t cry foul. If you’ll remember, we kind of broke their blog…so who’s to say the comment numbers are even accurate right now?

there might be sonic fans on the wee, but real committed gamers are on the Xbox, really devoted (maybe stupid gamers) are on ps3. no offense, someone had to say it.
the wee isn’t half the system the other two are, unless you like to get up and wiggle until your tired on games that are designed for computer illiterate baby boomers.

though i do believe sega should publish to all consoles to attain the most profit possible, so maybe they can have another whack at a sega gaming console :p

Sonic the Hedgehog 4, that’d take some getting used to. It’s been years since we’ve had something as simple as Sonic 1, 2 and 3.

Will we see the return of the flame and water sheilds? I alway did like those two, not that the electric sheild wasn’t good too.

If we have the “SEGA!” jingle at the start of the game should it be the original from Sonic 1 or a newer re-recording?

Will Eggman FINALLY be referred openly as DR ROBOTNIK again? I think I speak for all the old school fans that grew up with the classic games that the name Eggman doesn’t work for Americans or Europeans. Maybe in Japan, but not where the franchise is popular. If this game is truly a throw back, its mandatory that his name retains his old menacing name again.

Aww~ That music just made me so happy! And I love the choice of concept art too. =P Sunflowers and palm trees. Why not? =)

And I totally agree with A Knothole Resident… I hope he’s Dr Robotnik and not Eggman. =( Eggman sounds more like some insult Sonic would have slung at him.

I don’t know… I grew up knowing him as Robotnik, and now it feels like they’ve tried to sweep that name under the doormat completely.

I think this game is what a lot of old time fans have been looking for since Sonic went 3D. Its what makes us so excited. A return to the roots. We may have enjoid Sonic Adventure and beyond but nothing will bring us back like the origional side scrolling adventures. I still get a sonic speed rush when I go back and plug in the old Genesis. HAPPY HEDGEHOG DAY!

Comment # 4069

I’ll try to write something substantial. I know that the prize giveaway is over. I’ve come way too late. But my aim is not to win a prize, but to give my advice and – followed or not – attempt to make this game a great game worthy of the Sonic name.

Firstly, I have to hand it to you guys. Here are some topics that I’d like to talk about…giving pros and cons where appropriate:

1) Music Direction:

Pro: You seem to be getting back to the 16-bit games, and the music seems even closer to the first two Sonics than to Sonic 3 and Knuckles, which is a good thing. Although the latter games were OK, I thought that the music suffered a bit. Of course, the main thing is that the music is not that “childish rock” that has plagued the 3D Sonic games (or at least, I think it has…because to tell you the truth, I haven’t even played a new Sonic game for 5 years, they’re so bad). Particularly, I liked the very beginning of the intro, with the sharp tapping of the “drums” or whatever that percussion sound is. It sounds just like the tapping at the beginning of the Sonic 1 and 2 games. My guess is that this music is the intro of the game, and if it is, I have no problem with it. It would be the best Sonic intro music for 17 years…since the majestic Sonic CD (both American and Japanese versions), and the most originally authentic since the original song played in the first two Sonics, like I mentioned.

Con: The music, at this point, is of too low a quality. I hope that the MIDI-like sound will be changed into mp3-quality sound. Just like the “Sonic 2 HD” team at “Sonic Retro” is remaking Sonic 2 songs into high quality (above what the Mega Drive / Genesis could play) and is yet keeping it authentic-sounding, this game with its HD visuals should have HD sounds. That does NOT mean singing, or rock music. Just take high-quality samples from electronically-derived instrumental music.

2) Visual Direction:

Pro: The visuals are coming along nicely, overall. This is now the proof that I’ve wanted for a long time…assurance that these won’t be 3D-looking objects in a 2D game. This also bodes well for Sonic. I noticed in the blog post that you (RubyEclipse – the main poster here at Sega) mentioned “with black eyes” as a piece of Sonic merchandise that you’ll be giving away, so that’s a nod to those of us who think that Sonic should return to his roots and go back to his former self. It seems you have read the comments. I don’t need him as chubby as in his American Sonic 3 pictures (which resembled him in Sonic 1 but made him look like a slob to me) or as round and cute as his in-game Sonic 3 self (he had NO attitude then). But it really looks like, from the art, that there’s no chance of the new Sonic returning. This is good, but still, his portrayal on box-covers like “Sonic Chronicles” and even “Sonic Advance 2″ looks really good. If his body is just a bit rounder, his current incarnation is a good one. Below is an example of Sonic from Sonic Chronicles…but with black irises drawn in.
http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/3316/boxart02.jpg
I don’t think that his look on the box-art needs to revert much (besides his pupils being black), but his in-game persona should revert (because although the Sonic Advance series was great, his look in-game was unsatisfactory. Overall, I’d prefer a 1993 Japanese-esque Sonic WITH NO DROOPY QUILLS.
Perfect in-game Sonic (courtesy of Sonic Retro):
http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/2277/sonic2drun13qg4.png

Con: Overall, the game art looks pretty authentic. And I understand other’s criticisms of this so-far resembling Sonic 1 too much… BUT I would be happy to have HD Sonic 1-ish visuals and I just wanted to note that in Sonic 1, the plants look like origami – folded paper. If you look at the Sonic 1 palm trees, they are not going for realism, but rather an effect. It’s something like “techno-tropical”, and the origami look furthers the plasticine and metallic effect. 16-bit games were certainly capable of producing somewhat realistic palm trees, but Sonic 1 didn’t (unlike in progressively later Sonic games). If you look at Sonic 1, you’ll see the top of the tree (from which the fronds sprout) is like some techno-gadget, and the sunflower doesn’t have “leaves”, but rather diamond-like prisms. This is an art style, not a strike against the Genesis / Mega Drive. Like others have said, this doesn’t need to completely mimic Sonic 1 in every aspect, but I hope you (and the guys in Japan making this) realize that the Sonic series, as it was originally, was a fusion of “futuristic” and “natural”, and “art-deco”, among other things. The sunflower petals (if not the leaves) of the concept art show this. They are spiky and will spin, unlike plants in nature, and that’s a great thing.

Extra Advice:

Unlike a comment I read above, I DO want the first stage to be checkered! I also want it to be a piece of cake to get through. I’d like multiple levels of terrain (high, middle, and low, with secret areas), but I would like them to be parallel – that is, you can jump on a spring and get to another easily, whereas a look at the Sonic 3 and Knuckles game(s) will show you a dreadful level that goes on and on, producing tedium. I like the “somewhat linear yet rewarding of exploration” type levels from Sonic 1, 2, and CD. Have more acts, and make each one shorter. Like I said in a previous comment, having three acts, with each act (minus the boss at the end of the third) taking 1-2 minutes for a pro to get through (at least in the first few zones…and one reprieve later on in the game – like Starlight Zone and Hill Top Zone) would be wholly welcome.

Also, IF the Wii can handle it, then it should be ported to the Wii (though I don’t have one and just have an XBOX 360). That will make everyone happy. However, if the Wii is underpowered, then skip it and make the game better. Don’t dumb it down for the rest of us. Also, go ahead and put it on Windows and Mac. The more systems, the better, and surely porting a game isn’t the hardest part!

My Thoughts:

So far, based on the VERY limited information that I’ve received so far, I now have the highest hopes I’ve ever had for this game, and I currently expect it to be the best Sonic game released since Sonic CD. And if that turns out to be the case, this will become one of my favorite games ever, and a classic.

I think that this could be for real, because games like New Super Mario Bros. (DS and Wii games), Mega Man 9 and 10, Contra: ReBirth, and even Street Fighter IV have shown how bringing something back from near death and making it play authentically brings great ratings and lots of old-school hard-core fans.

I’m looking forward to this game. I’ve been a Sonic fan ever since 1993, when my house was robbed and my NES stolen, so I asked my parents for a Sega Genesis because that’s what all the cool kids had. After all, it did what Nintendon’t. From then on I was a hardcore die-hard Sega fan, didn’t buy a Nintendo system until after Dreamcast since really they’re the next best thing and Gamecube seemed to get the most Sonic games.

Unlike a lot of the old-school fans I don’t think the new ones have been too bad, the Sonic Adventure games were fun and I even liked Shadow the Hedgehog. Nothing comes close to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles though, for me.

Which brings me to the last thing I wanted to say. Now I know you guys are getting millions of suggestions from fans and the fan-base for Sonic is rather unpleasable, and I don’t even know if anyone will read mine let alone pay attention to it, but here goes. I hope this new game has Tails and Knuckles in it. I’d love it if they were playable, that’s what made Sonic 3 & Knuckles my favorite game when I was a kid. Seems like they’ve been kinda pushed to the background in favor of newer characters lately.

Happy Hedgehog week.

Cant imagine what the suprise is along side the game title on thursday.

Possibly that sonic logo that we saw ages ago that hasnt been shown.

Or a gameplay trailer?

Or a demo!? (thursday being the day that PSN updates, (dunno about Xbox)
(Seems maybe a little too unrealistic though.)

If anyone will reply to me: Has this game been officially announced to be for PSN and XBL? Or was that just a rumour and stuff, it’s hard to find whats real information.

I hope it’s a proper boxed game.

Continuing on from where I left off in hopes of seeing some concept art of Dr. Robotnik and Sonic soon; some of the other concept art I’m hoping to see soon would also include new variations of the classic badniks (for example, a new variation of Chopper or the Buzz Bomber; basically make it where the new variation badnik behaves very much like the classic badnik), perhaps some entirely new badniks which fit the classic style, and of course the games objects (like the item boxes, star post, etc).

Oooh, I wonder if my post will get through today…

I have to say it’s looking a lot like the first zone may actually be Green Hill zone. That’d be awesome, especially if we get to see a few old classic zones in new guises a la Sonic CD’s changing levels. I actually feel that the zones in the first game were the most iconic but the Master System zones were occasionally more innovative, ie the logs in Jungle Zone or the the Hanglider in Sky High Zone (I loved Sonic 2 on the MS sooo much!).

The best solution I think is what I say on post 3488 (if by the time you read this, the number is still the same…): Leave spam messages so they don’t alter the outcome of the real winners, but don’t give prizes to them. Instead, give it to first non-spam comment after it. That keeps the original winners and “punishes” spammers.
Anyone sticks to my idea?

Yeah, hopefully since most random comments are spam. It’s quite sad, because most people should be giving some feedback or suggestions for this game instead.

Something cool would be one level where you got to fight several bosses of the past.

See, now I’m worried that Sonic Team is overdoing this whole “going retro” thing. Fans wanted a classic Sonic experience, but we still wanted a new adventure. New enemies, bosses, stages (not just layout but location!), and new music. Especially music! I was looking forward to jamming out to a whole new array of Sonic songs, maybe even on a bonus Soundtrack disc paired with the game?

In the end, I’m sure the game will be great, but again, bringing back all the old stuff it good, but we don’t want a New Super Mario Bros. Wii (yeah, I said it). We want something totally new.

For every Badnik you bring back, there should be a new one, for example. I have to say, I’m also a little worried about art direction… Even if you guys bring back all these different Badniks from different games, they should be redesigned to look equally advanced, technologically speaking…unless otherwise explained by a (kick-ass) story, I suppose.

Going back to the music for a second… I have to say one of my favorite sound tracks was definitely Sonic & Knuckles. The final boss music will always bring back great memories. Really, the same can be said for all tracks.

PS: Anyone ever heard of Project Chaos? A collaboratory effort by various artists remixing songs from Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles. It’s pretty awesome. Google the album and you should still be able to download mp3s of each track right from the promotional site. There’s over 40 tracks in total.

I hope so many good things of Project Needlemouse. I think that back to origins is the best way for Sonic now. And I smile everytime you post some new concept art :)

It’s hard to tell how I felt when I saw Project Needlemouse promotional video for the first time. That Sonic classic sounds… ah, lots of years without hearing them. The word is HOPE. Yeah, it is. Hope to enjoy with Sonic like 16 years ago: 2D. Sonic looks so better in 2D. This is such a good decision, guys. Well done SEGA.

Waaah, I can’t wait to see more information about the Project Needlemouse/StH4!
I mean, it’s like a new beginning for Sonic. Unlike some other (Big “N” if you see what I mean) who just keep doing remakes of old red and blue plumbers game with just better graphics, I hope this one will be a good mix of the ol’good basics that made Sonic so cool and of new things! I loved the arts you’ve already gave and I’m so impatient of seeing more… :3

I’m really glad to see SEGA bringing back some cool lost stuff from the classics. Even if the music I just heard doesn’t become one of my all-time favorites, listening to something so classic, and yet made so recently, has made my day. Many thanks, SEGA.

Its interesting that my comment was number 1650 and then later it got moved to 1683. Did you guys remove the spam comments and somehow added others??? I really believe that I won because I sent my comment when there were around 1637 and then it came to 1650. I hope this is not a clever way to avoid giving away prizes.

i’m hearing a lot of talk about “downloadable” and its making me nervous.
if sonic’s coming back it should be on a disk i can hold and display and not worry about deleting off my systems hard drive.
i also reiterate my concern that if this is a downloadable game that the original sonic team may be quite distanced from its production and the whole thing left to intern game designers leaving us with a poorly produced and inappropriate copy of sonic 3 and calling it sonic 4.

SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM OTHERWISE!!

I think regardless of whether you win or not, it’s one of the best days/weeks/years to be a fan of the Blue Blur. :D

I was honestly quite happy with the music, it’s got the 90′s Sonic feel to it (bar the ending to the clip, that felt a bit out of place to me…) but I can only see good things coming from the soundtrack, as well as the game itself. :)

Say… Can we have a SECRET and UNLOCKABLE world in the game SEGA? As in, a totally COOL world where Sonic travels through space and can only be in the levels and beat them in his super form?! And in the final level of that SECRET world, you battle the BEST final Dr. Robotnik boss EVER!! That would be SO cool SEGA!! Please consider this!! It could be the FINAL CHASE world where Super Sonic has to catch up to the escaping Death Egg 2! Oh my god… SO many epic possibilities!! Please read this comment SEGA!!!!!

mmmm death egg. i loved it and the whole idea, besides the fact it was a borrowed idea from star wars.
it was incredibly cool getting up on the sky fortress and fighting metal sonic and the whole thing collapsing just in time to leap onto the repaired death egg from sonic 2!

and what the hells with eggmanland? why in the heck would Dr. Robotnick want with a theme park? in sonic 2 he seemed to like gambling more with casino night zone.

and Robotnick should be more bent on killing sonic rather than teaming up with him! think of the trillions of dollars sonic must have cost him over the years, and the shame of a genius scientist not being able to kill a hedgehog, supersonic or not, with all of his resources.
in the last bunch of games it all seemed to come down to “eggman” teaming up with sonic to fix the mess he made by employing the power of several gods to kill the little blue garden pest. has this bothered anyone else?

Holy cow, amazing the number of comments in less than a day! :)

EVERYONE, STOP SPAMMING, POST ON HERE ONLY TO TALK ABOUT THE GAME, WHAT YOU WANT AND DON’T WANT. Sega specifically asked us to post what we want and hope for in this game, so they are LISTENING, who knows they might even consider our feedback. :)

I respectfully disagree with those who think that this won’t be a “new” adventure just because a couple badnicks, plants and trees from old Sonic games are returning. There is still a ton of new things to add to the game. I personally LOVE this idea Sega of bringing back some of the old badnicks and plants/trees from the old games, it will give it a classic Sonic feel but yet you can still make something totally new. Brilliant! Maybe even a secret world with a few of the old school Genesis levels in HD ;)

maybe all of my griping since yesterday wont be for not. that would be the best prize if i knew i actually had an influence on guiding sonic teams hand to creating a truly awesome game that would redeem sonic’s awesome and breathe new life into the franchise. X)

Comment # 4181

Man, doing a search for “Wii” and seeing just how many comments say they want it on the Wii was time-consuming. I should’ve kept count, because I don’t want to go through that again. And of course, then there’s the people who are jerks that don’t want equality for all or somethin’ like that.

Anyway, point being, if this is a game for the classics, for the fans of old, one thing I have to wonder is the only system that can really say to have fans of old. That is, the Wii can have throwbacks to times ago, but the other two don’t have as many times ago. With all these comments, I don’t think Sega would be able to read them all. Anyway, it needs to be on all three systems so people who aren’t rich and can buy all three systems can play it. I am trying to avoid saying retro in this comment.

“Even if a comment may be listed as a winning number now, remember that numbers may change if a spam comment below it gets deleted! So even if yours doesn’t show up as a winner just yet, keep an eye out on Thursday when we announce the usernames of those who won!”

That would have been a nice thing to communicate from the beginning. You got a lot of peoples’ hopes up who thought they won but ended up not because of the deleted spam and rearranging of comments. Disappointing…

Win or lose the comment contest and whatever else SEGA dishes out for us, it doesn’t matter. Remember this, in EVERY Sonic game that has been made, even when you lost and got game over, you continued and played again until you beat the game. Don’t let losing a contest slash your hopes for everything related to this game. Keep on believing and be patient and you will be rewarded beyond belief soon enough! Seeing the final results of this game in the end of this countdown adventure will have been worth the wait. This is an adventure as big as the game’s themselves. Just have persistence and patience and you will win in the end.

If the Needlemouse team is up for suggestions, here’s my 2 cents: Screenshot mode!

It could be similar to the one in Wipeout HD, but a simpler version. If the actual game is as beautiful as the concept art, this would be a great feature!

I wonder if I have any chances of getting a prize? ^^(I couldn’t post earlier because I had an important exam just a few hours ago).
Well, although I won’t have any chance to play the new Sonic unless there will be a PC/cell phone edition (I don’t have any HD console), I’m looking forward to see what it will look like. It will be first “real” Sonic game released since I became a fan of the series half a year ago (M&S and ASR don’t count).
I only hope Knuckles will appear in the game… I know he won’t be playable, but let him be in the game at least for a moment, maybe in a similar manner as in the Sonic 3D Blast aka Flickies’ Island.
But yeah… only Sonic playable, and those sunflowers… I have a feeling that the new game will resemble the very first Sonic a lot.

I’ve got it! The bonus news on Thursday is that the game is going to be a Genesis exclusive! The game is supposed to be in HD? The Model 1 Genesis says High Definition Graphics right on it! It’s download-only? It’s gonna be downloadable off of Sega Channel!

Maybe there’ll even be extra content when Sonic & Knuckles is plugged in. Sonic 4 & Knuckles, I like the sound of it!

Not happy with update II…
I was on this blog back when there was just over 500 comments and I was mad that I missed my chance at winning something. So I posted something just to be a part of it. Once my comment posted (after all the refreshing and blog crashes) I read Update I.

My comment was number 650. I was freaking out. All night last night I kept saying I can’t wait till i see what I won tomorrow.

Then today, Update II comes and I get so disappointed because my Comment number changed. I just wish Update II came with Update I. Then I wouldn’t feel like I got shafted! :(

Hey sega thank’s for all the games you guys have with Sonic . I loved each game from Sonic the hedgehog to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.Each game Deserves a Gold medal.I hate when i hear Sonic fans complain about whay they dont like this game and why they dont like that game but i believe if your a real Sonic fan like me youshould like every game with Sonic.In this upcoming game i just hope to see my favorite Cast.
Sonic,Tails,Knuckles,Amy,Shadow,Rouge,Metal Sonic,Cream,Omega,Dr.Eggman ,and the Chaotix If not everyone in the Story then in mutiplayer. Please thats What i want.

I’m really not happy that the people who are spamming are preventing people who posted every 50 from getting prizes. You got me, and approximately 250 other people, all worked up for nothing. That just makes the whole thing totally random.

I will of course respect your decision, but I want to voice my dislike of the situation.

I have screenshots of my posts at 2050 and 2150, if that makes any difference.

All of us who originally had prize spots have now been officially screwed. I had comment 150 and even took a ‘print screen’ of it in excitement. I then found out my friend had comment 400. We couldn’t believe our luck considering how slow the loading was for the blog.

Now, this morning I log on to find we’ve both fallen from our prize spots due to posts being removed. Last night I couldn’t believe I’d won something – this morning I felt robbed.

Why didn’t they just give prizes to their favourite concept art submissions? At least then it would have been organized and fair.

SEGA, you’ve let a lot of people down.

Uh… Not very knowledgeable about Sonic are you? Before Sonic The Hedgehog became a blue hedgehog, he was a little brown creature called Mr. Needlemouse. Google up Mr. Needlemouse and you SHOULD find the original artwork of him. Aka, Pre-Sonic.

@Frack
It happened to me in post 1000. In post 3488 I suggest a honest system to give the prizes. But it seems far from being applied, because if the posts are sorted again, then we would have the new winners who would be just as right to claim their prizes.
Could it be a way to give some small prize for those who originally posted something before spam filtering and the 2nd update? I mean, like to be able to download some sonic content or something… That would somewhat make up for it

Have you even seen Old School Robotnik? There is nothing Menacing about him.

Maybe in SATam but that doesn’t count.

SATam Robotnik will never be in a SEGA game. Deal with it.

Sega, I’m so excited about Project Needlemouse especially since it goes back to Sonic’s 2D roots. I’ve been playing your Sonic games since I was a little kid. After seeing some of the concept art you revealed so far, I can’t wait to find out the real name of this game. Personally, I thought you guys did great with Sonic Unleashed trying to mix 3D and 2D gameplay together in the Sonic stages. I also thought putting Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Brawl was absolutely AWESOME because I’ve been wanting to play as him in Super Smash Bros. since the first game for N64. Despite reviews and ratings of certain past Sonic games, I’ve enjoyed all of Sonic’s games since Sonic 1 on Genesis and I feel Project Needlemouse isn’t going to be any different. I believe in you guys and I hope Project Needlemouse turns out as great as you say it will be.

I have yet another thing to say…

*THANK YOU SEGA AND NINTENDO FOR MY ENGAGEMENT GIFT FOR MY GIRL*

Seriously, as a gift to her to go along with her ring, I bought her a brand spanking new Nintendo Wii with a TON of Sonic games and such. So I owe SEGA and Nintendo BIG time for there creations!

Check out the video I posted on youtube showing off the games!

This sucks, SEGA should’ve just left the comments alone regardless of comments not referring to needlemouse. Especially, when it comes to contests like these, I mean how do they expect anyone not to just comment right away to secure a post slot? This should’ve been expected.

I mean, remember those “Friday giveaways” they had on “Twitter”?

Now me and a friend just lost our winning slots at #150 and #400. Thanks SEGA.

I think they should keep the winners they have now, but if the people that were on those spots before they got shifted also have a screenshot to prove it, then they would get the prizes as well. Then everyone wins.

Exciting!

As for the music, I was rather hoping for a more SONIC CD (Japanese version) style. Sonic CD Jap still has the best soundtrack of ANY videogame, it is THAT amazing.

Please, bring back the J-POP happy, techno-cool, funky sounds of Sonic CD Jap for Sonic 4!!!

Comment # 4222

This is ridiculous. It’s shameful the way all you turncoats went from being hyped about the game to vengeful against Sega just over a silly contest. I can understand being disappointed, but seriously you guys need to quit your bitching.

I had a winning spot which I subsequently lost, and the way things stand now, I may have another. But I’m not counting on it, and I’m not holding Sega responsible for getting my own hopes set too high after they have clearly explained the rules to me. I willingly accept that everything is up in the air until Thursday, and win or lose, I’m not going to blame Sega because my comments were shifted around. That’s the fault of the spammers, and the fault of the comment system in general. But more importantly, it’s also your own fault for believing you have some sort of RIGHT to your post number. The comments will be sorted however they will, and it is only the final result that matters.

This could have been made clearer from the beginning, I suppose, but it has been clarified now, and whining about it doesn’t make you seem any more deserving of Sega’s benevolence. The comments are SUPPOSED to be about our excitement and thoughts on Project Needlemouse, so technically all this WHINING (and possibly even some of my posts) should be removed as SPAM.

I feel like this crisis could have been averted if the post numbers were simply hidden until the winners were revealed on Thursday, thus ensuring that nobody “got their hopes up” or staked claim on a temporary number. Could the contest have been handled better? Probably. But at the same time, Sega wasn’t expecting the massive amounts of traffic that they got. Hiding the comment numbers wouldn’t have reduced the spam, but it definitely would have prevented a lot of people from getting butthurt.

Seriously, you guys. Chill out. This isn’t fair to Sega.

My comment is still awaiting moderation and they have a habit of disappearing, so I’ll post this again:

If you’re taking suggestions on Project Needlemouse, how about a screen shot mode? It could be similar to the one found in Wipeout HD, but simpler. Maybe have the option to remove all on-screen text when it takes the shot. If the game looks as great as the concept art, that’d be a great feature to have :)

When I saw my post number I thougt “Have to wait and see”, because winning something for just posting, is a bit unreal.
Yes, it definitely could be handled better. And it still can: That’s why in my case I’m not posting against sega, but I’m trying to give them ideas to sort this out.
On the other side, we have to understand that some guys who yesterday were winners are disappointed…
Anyway, I hope this is sorted out soon, so we could move on to the game itself!

It’s totally understandable to be upset. I’ve been all sorts of up and down excited/disappointed over the past 24 hours. I’m just frustrated with all the people blaming Sega and being so rude about it.

I’m glad you’ve come around to realizing that it’s just a contest, and that we ALL have something to look forward to on Thursday <3

You know, what I think is kind of funny about the comments shifting, moreso than people freaking out about winning/losing posts, is the fact that now a lot of the responses like "@1111" are going to be all sorts of mixed up XD

From the Concept art in section #2, I can’t wait to see what’s installed for Project Needle Mouse, and… Can’t believe that “Sonic 3″ is 16 years old! And, it’s one of the games (though some might still believe this is a rumor) Michael Jackson compose the music for. Can’t wait for tomorrow for the revealing of Project Needlemouse. And hopefully the winners of the concept art contest.

Best of Luck Sega!!!

You know what?
I had fun in the last 24 hours! I don’t mind If I did’nt stand a chance to win anything at all! It’s not important for me. Ihad a blast because I knew that 3000 + persons like me were on their computer for the same reason like me. We were here for Sonic, and SEGA. WE were excited for one reason: Sonic is back! Not because we want some prizes!!! (i hope not!)

Any way. I was real impressed seeing the enthousiasm we all had this last 24 hour. I don’t think Even Mario fans could do the same thing for their mascot. We, Sonic fans, really Love our blue Guy! Thats all

So… See you tomorrow, let’s keep the tempo (guys, you recall an old 32X game of the same name? Check it out!)

GO SONIC!!! (back to work then…)

Wouldn’t that be sweet?

This has nothing to do with the game (it’s going to be awesome and I’m preordering it ASAP), everyone just had there hopes up just to see the rules change the next day.

Everybody thats saying don’t complain, don’t whine probally didn’t think they won something. Imagine what that guy or girl that was comment # 333 and think you won the big prize just to see it taken away overnight. That persons gotta be going crazy right now!

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles is my favorite game of all time and still is. I fist experienced it when I was in 8 years old and in first grade. I think that everything including the amazing music, level design, overall feeling of the game is amazing. Every single time I put the game into my genesis it is the only game that gives me this WOW feeling like nothing else can. I am so inspired that I play sonic 3 and knuckles music on my guitar and write my own stuff from its inspiration! I hope that project needlemouse can live up to such a great legacy and be as great or better than sonic 3

I wish it’ll be called Sonic The Hedgehog 4, a perfect title for a game that’ll bring back all the dear memories, and create some new ones too.

I just played Sonic for the Neo Geo Pocket today.

Remembered some good oldskool goodness. It’s really a great game (though it was practically Sonic 2 with the characters turning newschool) But I gotta say that game nailed the mechanics almost perfectly to their genesis counterparts.

Can’t wait for the first in-game screenshot… I wonder if SEGA is spriting, or working on 3D Models… I’d love to see chubby old Sonic with a perfect 3D render (unlike back then when you could count the polygons) ;D

I think it’s music will sound like genesis but will have a Sonic CD and a Sonic Adventure 16 bit version ring to it… I don’t know why, but that is just how I feel for some random reason.

Back to making suggestions for this game, I want to go ahead and make my list.

1. Make Super Sonic playable in ALL levels at LAST.

2. Give Sonic the ability to run on water again.

3. Make sure there is an EPIC storyline to this game, either in the instruction manual like the classic first and second games, or in the actual game through cut scenes like the 3rd game and onwards.

4. Create a secret unlockable WORLD, not just a single BOSS or ZONE stage. In the unlockable world, you could have re-created levels from the old games, or just create Super Sonic required stages with the ULTIMATE boss! Like Super Sonic against the ENTIRE Death Egg 2 instead of just one of Robotniks small battle robots… Like I said in another comments, there are SO many possibilities that could be brought to reality through a secret WORLD instead of just a secret ZONE.

5. For Robotniks boss battle theme, use a remix like the one here!

here is a little remix of the few seconds awesome tunes we already got from Project Needlemouse. I am so freakin hyped that I just had to do this! Actually it is just a little bit longer version but it maybe makes the waiting time till tomorrow a little bit less painful ; )

No Problems Chris! Hey! I want this place to be ROCKIN’ too… but its a tad boing now… C’MON people! tell us where you first discovered Sonic, and witch game you played first!

Of course, my fisrt game was Sonic 1, on Genesis… this game is so memorable in so many ways, the graphics, the music, the secial levels…. spring yard zone….. god I loved this level! The music, the atmosphere.. The purple-redish background and the soft music made this level so unique! And the secret passages eveywhere! Mind blowing! Do you remember in this level, you start running downhill and a kinda ball follows you and hurt you if you don’t jump at the right time? Was he a pig or something?

And sorry to repeat myself, but for me, Sonic Jam is my first 3d expirience with Sonic. Not Sonic Adventure. And it was SWEET!!! Exactly what I wanted in a 3D Sonic game; colorful graphics, a playable Sonic, sweet music…. then again…. it was just a bonus world.. but Did I play this level or what! SO GLAD I STILL HAVE THIS GAME AND MY SATURN!

Loving what’s been shown so far guys. I’ve wanted to love Sonic games like I did growing up with the Master System and Megadrive (Genesis for probably most of you) for a long time but just haven’t been able to. The originals are still some of the greatest platform games of all time and I’m praying that the new one can be added alongside those names. Signs are looking good so far :)

I haven’t been this excited for a Sonic game ever sense Sonic Heroes. :D Sonic Team should bring back the fire, electric, and bubble shields from Sonic 3, that would be so awesome. Keep up the good work sega. :)

Sonic actually has a MAJOR part in my childhood and my relationship with my grandfather. He had the original Sega Genesis and when I was barely 2 he started training me to play the Sega Genesis and the game he always had me play was Sonic The Hedgehog. By the time I was a little older than 3, I was beating Sega game after Sega game. God it sure is something when you reminisce about the past… Ah… Memories… Well, what I can remember at least. -_-

here are somethings i think should be in the game

bosses need to be hard as hell (us sonic fanboys need a challenge)
super sonic needs to make a comeback
metal sonic needs to be a boss or something because hes the most kick ass badnik eva
and we need special stages that wont give us seizures

and i just want to say thanks sega for listening to the fans for this game and not making a game like sonic the hedgehog 06

Ahem. Stop trying to act tough and mighty to the people’s whose numbers have shifted. I understand the whole event is based around Hedgehog week and the upcoming game which almost everybody is excited for, but how can you not expect people being angry?
Its like winning the lottery and the government taking back your check. I don’t care about the prizes anymore, made me upset enough. You people aren’t helping, just adding fuel to the fire. Also don’t try to justify your statement before because you two aren’t being a better examples by complaining to us.

If this Game will be like the classics, then SEGA will use the old/Original Sonic Design too ^^

Oh Gott… ich kann es kaum noch aushalten xD

Oh yeah, will be Super Sonic be in this Game?^^

@sapphire: Thanks, I’m glad to know I’m not weird for doing so lol. I’m doing exactly the same thing, it’s 8AM for me here in the UK (presuming you’re the same?).

The more I remember that I’ve been a Sonic fan since the first game came out and that I (with many others, as we can all see here) have stuck by Sonic through all the bad times, the more I feel OK about being maybe a little ‘too’ excited about this. :D
This could be the greatest Sonic year ever for me, as Needlemouse and my Sonic tattoo could prove. ;)

This game if on disc and reviewed as well as New Mario Bros, could sell more than it if its on Wii/PS3 and 360 =D
I’d LOVE if you release Needlemouse in a Mega Drive (Genesis) Box =D Like the good old games =)

this is gonna be the best sonic game in a while.confused though, not sure if it’s full 2d, or 2d gameplay with 3d visuals. i hope the visuals are 3d that would make for the best sonic game ever… EVER.. but if it’s full 2d that’s ok, disappointing what with how awesome things could look in 3d. but that’s not enough to put me off the game >:D

I sure hope he’ll look like Classic Japanese Sonic. I also want to know what systems it will be available on. Because if it’s ONLY on PS3 and Xbox 360, then I better save up and get one because all I have is a Sega Genesis, Original PlayStation, Original XBox, Wii, and a DSi. Can’t wait to see what Project Needlemouse’s real name is! :)

Hear this: this game will need HIGH difficulty level. That would make this even better. Or at least an option to make it more challenging. It seems previous games are way too easy. It would add to the lasting appeal.

SEGA, thanks for beginning to listen to us fans. The next thing we would like is for Ryan Drummond to voice in Needlemouse. If you would have difficulties and schedule conflicts getting him back, then I CAN suggest NO VOICE ACTING at all.

We ALL would rather have the former than the latter of my statements!!

Thank You. The word will spread NOW!!

I haven’t noticed the comments shifting since the initial shift yesterday. I wonder if they’re just making note of the winners without displacing the numbers anymore to keep people from freaking out (meaning that every single winner tomorrow will be a surprise, regardless of comment standings today), or if the current positions are going to be made official tomorrow… errr- later today.

ok, my greatest concern is proven correct. its a downloadble. i do not have, nor want, Xbox live… but i still want sonic 4!
this had better come out for PC, otherwise i’m screwed, i’m not going live with my Xbox for only one game.

one point that is un-sonic related that i would like to emphasize to all game companies is that online may be cool and useful for playing with friends overseas, but 2 player games should be played right next to he person that you are playing with, why is this increasingly unavailable as an option??

this being episode one, i just pray that after all the episodes are released they will be all published disks that i can buy and play from beginning to end.

I feel pretty badly for the people who thought they had won and didnt. My boyfriend in one included. He was VERY excited and busted through the door when he came home telling me about it. Im disapointed in sega for not announcing the “spamming” rules before hand. he posted one comment. I dont think its fair that the original winners got shafted because other idiots didnt read the actual article and were just looking for an easy win. My boyfriends been following this since day one and honestly it really sucked that he went from winner to not overnight. now hes five spaces away and totally bummed. I feel bad for the person who thought they had won the signed game, I bet they felt like crap the next day. I dont think that was right of you guys, rules should have been up since the beginning. Im sorry for all of you in the same boat as my boyfriend, I wish I could buy you all some cool sonic swag.

@SSC

I noticed that… but now I’m going to be all paranoid until I’ve finished reading the entire winners list, regardless of what my status is here on the blog.

I shifted from having #1700 the first day (until the first comment shift), to having #250 for over 2 days straight… after the first shift I noticed today, I had lost #250, but gained #450, #600, and #800… then they shifted again and I wound up with #1700 once again. Kind of funny.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. I really wish they’d give us some sort of update or timeframe though. This is killing me! XD
