	Tuesday Feb 02, 2010 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! Tweet Posted by RubyEclipse in Project Needlemouse on 1:35:52PM Feb 02, 2010

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?

Hope the wait to see the information for Needlemouse deserves it. Posted by BenjRose on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:39 pm Comment # 21 A little disappointed by the concept art to be honest – I was rather hoping for a full blown zone image. Oh well..

Posted by Kieran Gates on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm Comment # 57 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. Posted by Daniel Richmond on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm Comment # 58 man I cant wait for this game it looks like its going to be awesome Old School Sonic FTW!! Posted by dexter120395 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm 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 Posted by NSIYusuke on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm Comment # 60 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. Some of us are just better than that Posted by Airslash on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm Comment # 61 Can’t wait to hear more about this game. Posted by NOGAMES on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm Comment # 62 And now for my actual Post: Good concepts, but boy, you guys at SEGA are a real tease! Posted by NeOwL on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm 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. Posted by AntiExistence on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm Comment # 64 Oh Boy, what you started. Posted by Kizaru on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm Comment # 65 Well I do say, this is awesome. Posted by SSC on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm Comment # 66 Oh my god! Sonic 4 is comming =P I just know ;D Posted by NazoSaix on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm Comment # 67 so what does everyone think about project needlemouse?? Posted by James on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 68 D: Did I get 10? Posted by Stiv on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 69 hedgehogday!!! Posted by Sinji on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 70 Happy Hedgehog Day! Posted by Matriculated on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 71 Hooray! Cant wait for the big reveal on thursday. With this and SASASR Coming up I cant be more excited. Posted by jackaroo on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 72 Anyway, I think that even though it’s just plants, it shows that you guys are serious about going back to the roots, like Megaman 9 & 10. Posted by Conro101 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 73 I am wondering if the next art will be Sonic himself? Posted by Tsu on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 74 Waiting for news is driving me nuts. MAKE IT SO Posted by PsychoDuck on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 75 Maybe it’s a revisit to classic zones Posted by Barry the Nomad on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 76 The concept art looks awesome I’m looking forward to Thursday! Posted by Manic on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 77 Oh mmy my my The antecipation Posted by Sonic on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 78 wtf this is it man fk it now this aint shyt whats the name of the game Posted by Aj on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 79 Nice art SEGA Posted by Rgxsupersonic on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 80 Love the new art! Please let me win. It’s my birthday! Posted by TailsFox88 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 81 …Where am I supposed to be hearing the music? Posted by Axel Stone on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 82 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. Posted by brandokay on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 83 You know, I hear lots of people complain about Sonic’s eye color, but I seem to remember them being green in S3&K… Posted by Hatch on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 84 We got a tree! Posted by Rick Fields on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 85 awesome Posted by jman on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 86 Beautiful concepts Posted by Andre on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm 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. Posted by Orengefox on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 88 It’s about time! Although I am slightly disappointed to see only the spinning flower and a palm tree, it’s still cool nonetheless! Posted by Sonuw on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 89 or not Posted by Barry the Nomad on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 90 Cant wait for this game! Posted by Anthony on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 91 Also, where is the link to that piece of music? I think it’s funny how I’m comment 33 already. ONLY ONE MORE THREE ON THE END OF IT DANG. Posted by Jarrett on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm Comment # 92 yeaaaaah can’t wait for thursday Posted by kiki on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 93 50 GET! We need more enemy concept art btw. Posted by NOGAMES on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 94 hope theres more awesome stuff Posted by James on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 95 Comment Posted by Jon McGuire on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 96 I can’t find the piece of sample music Could someone direct me to where it is? As for my thoughts on Needlemouse? Hearing that it’s just Sonic really made me believe this is a proper return to the Megadrive days and judging by the concept art, it is. I have high hopes for Needlemouse and I await all new information you guys kindly give us Posted by Cazza on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 97 Tails and Knuckles should’ve been made playable, in my opinion. Posted by Nonsense on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 98 Hooray- good stuff, SEGA! Posted by bolt7 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 99 awesome job guys Posted by scott freedman on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 100 Huh, this is actually pretty cool, I remember the sunflowers! XD We’ll see how this does, now =D I’m still excited! Posted by JordanRinehart on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 101 Wow this is so cool, I can’t wait for a new sonic 2d game Posted by sion on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 102 I’m still hoping to see Tails and Knuckles in the game, even as playable characters Posted by Kamon137 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 103 I hope this game is good… Posted by Darrin on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 104 im loving the concept art! Posted by SMT Xero on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 105 Ah, got to hear the music. I must say, I’m impressed! SEGA, I am a happy man. Posted by Indigo Dude on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 106 i love how hater comments win, yet the happy fans lose Posted by Barry the Nomad on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 107 I would like for there to be a large number of levels as well, making the game feel as epic as, say, Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Posted by AntiExistence on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 108 Haha, 64, I love that number Posted by SonarDragon on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 109 I think the game is gonna be a fest of ol’ skool clichés Posted by NeOwL on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 110 Can’t wait for this game been a Sonic fan since I could use a controller. Posted by Anthony on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 111 I seriously cannot wait for Thursday now. I am quite excited. Posted by SSC on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm Comment # 112 Amazing !

Is the first zone of project needlemouse going to be a mix of the first zones from Sonic 1, 2 and 3? Posted by Nukky on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:45 pm Comment # 120 wow so i guess they are getting a major inspiration from sonic 3? Posted by ecp on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:45 pm Comment # 121 That flash thing does not work for me . Posted by Finn on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:45 pm Comment # 122 Looking good! Posted by Stas on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:45 pm Comment # 123 I wonder if the final version of the legendary palm tree is really going to have a green trunk. It seems sort of off to me. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:45 pm Comment # 124 I really can’t wait to see more from this game! I haven’t been this excited for a new Sonic game for a long time! Posted by Vanessa on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:45 pm Comment # 125 Never noticed that GHZ picture before Posted by SonarDragon on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:45 pm Comment # 126 Oh dude! Sweet music on the front page. I was hoping for something a bit less MIDI though D: Posted by NSIYusuke on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:45 pm Comment # 127 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. Posted by Serulean on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 128 the music makes me think sprites, but Sega says HD. hmmm…. Posted by Barry the Nomad on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 129 @Barry the Nomad: Happy Hedgehog Day! http://i45.tinypic.com/21ocvwj.jpg Posted by brandokay on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 130 Does this mean the moniters are returning also? Like the classic ones? Posted by jackaroo on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 131 Music totally sounds like the Sonic 1 theme intro Posted by Barry the Nomad on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 132 Where is the music at? Posted by Anthony on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 133 I lol’ed at the video of Sonic popping out of the ground like a groundhog. Great job, SEGA! Posted by SonicDude87 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 134 I like how it keeps the charm of the original, yet looks more realistic in a way. Posted by SonarDragon on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 135 I’m so fucking pumped. But why can’t I just sleep for the next couple of days and then wake up on Thursday? D: Posted by Razer922 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 136 Didn’t really expect THIS as far as the concept art was concerned, but meh; you take what you can get! Posted by slam422 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:46 pm Comment # 137 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.

Posted by NeKit on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:47 pm Comment # 146 Is it just me or is the website taking forever to load? Posted by Gabecube on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:47 pm Comment # 147 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! Posted by Paul B on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:47 pm Comment # 148 Guys, stop spamming. Read the damn blog! You’ll just be wasting your time. Can anyone tell me where the music teaser is?

There were a lot of neat ones in Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles, but after that they were almost all dropped except for one.

Posted by Darrin on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 157 Seeing that flower reminded me of Sonic CD. I’m hoping that the Badniks will still feature kidnapped forest friends instead of sprouting flowers when defeated. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 158 I was kinda hoping for an actual level art being shown rather than a flower and a tree. Posted by Jason on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 159 That is awesome! love the concept art! The fact that you are incorporating old level art like the spinning flower and the palm tree and the old badniks is fantastic!! I’m super excited, SEGA you rock! Posted by Sonicfan82 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 160 I hope that we get some more awesome Crush40 for this game.

Anyone up for this? Posted by Airslash on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 164 Also, keep up the good work, SEGA!

Can’t wait until thursday :S Posted by Jimbobjohndadabim on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 169 I hope we see some more concept art, maybe some more music. That alone just reminds me of the old days of the Genesis, back when these games really got me excited. Posted by Kamon137 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 170 This looks great. Posted by Justin on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 171 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.

Posted by Finn on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 174 Ahahaha.

Fantastic concept images so far though, as small as they may be. /hopes to win a prize D: Posted by bolt7 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 180 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. Not sure about everyone else, but I’m /REALLY/ curious about how Sonic will look like in this game. Anyway, I’ll trust you guys. Thursday better be awesome! Posted by Blue-kun on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:48 pm Comment # 181 I am SO excited for Needlemouse. I can’t believe Sonic 3 is 16 years old. I officially feel old.

Boxes in Palm Trees!!!! Posted by -Sonic~Boom- on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:49 pm Comment # 188 AND just heard the music sample, at first I thought it was the Sonic 1 theme, but you guys are going for classic Sonic music too. Remember, remixes are nice but I thin kwe all would prefer some original catchy tracks. any word on who composed it?

Posted by Anthony on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:49 pm Comment # 192 I really like where this is going. Disappointed Tails and Knuckles aren’t present. I’m positive this won’t a ripoff of the New Super Mario Bros, Megaman 8, or Rocket Knight. Love it!

Posted by AntiExistence on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:49 pm Comment # 202 certainly the art makes me think of green hill but theres something about the style that makes it different, almost reminds me of Sonic CD in an odd kinda way. But I like that : ) Posted by jennytablina on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:49 pm Comment # 203 Awesome, that tree looks sexy Posted by Subliminal on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:49 pm Comment # 204 The cut-scenes are going to be like the classics, right? Even who doesn’t speak english understands the story! That was awesome on Sonic 3… Posted by Nukky on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:49 pm Comment # 205 Knuckles better appear in the game. Posted by Darrin on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:49 pm Comment # 206 I can’t wait for Needlemouse, I hope it’s a worthy return to the original series. The concept art and trailer brought back a wave of nostalgia for me. I’m thinking ‘green hill zone’ may be the first stage!

If this is the main theme of the game, as that drum riff certainly indicates, then I have to say I was hoping for something slightly punchier.

Posted by Stas on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:56 pm Comment # 429 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.

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.

Posted by SSC on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:58 pm Comment # 520 page plz load Posted by RGX on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:58 pm Comment # 521 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. Posted by synchronizer on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:58 pm Comment # 522 Awesome stuff! It’s going to be just like the Mega Drive classics! Posted by Master0 on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:58 pm Comment # 523 Oh wow, #352. Just missed it!

Posted by Rick Fields on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:59 pm Comment # 545 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. Posted by Dusk Golem on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:59 pm Comment # 546 Congrats to the RGX. Btw I love the music teaser. Reminds me of the classic Sonic games.

Posted by Metaru on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:59 pm Comment # 548 Nice work on the music, SEGA. I just checked it out. Definitely reminds me of the title screen music. I can even picture Sonic coming out of the ring emblem (hopefully, holding up four fingers)^^ Posted by AngelJump on February 2nd, 2010 at 1:59 pm Comment # 549 Lol the spam. Anyways. Hell yeah!

I’m totally looking forward to the post this Thursday! Posted by Bsonic10 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:02 pm Comment # 594 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.

Posted by Ossiferous Rex on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 pm Comment # 638 I LOVE YOU SONIC THE HEDGEHOG <3 PROJECT NEEDLEMOUSE FOR THE WIN Posted by JOHN GILLIS on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 pm Comment # 639 Crazy ! How Fast ! Posted by Kendo on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 pm Comment # 640 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! =) Posted by Azavix on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 pm Comment # 641 Wow. About 20 or so minutes ago I was gunning for slot #25 and its almost if not at the 600′s already… Here’s hoping that Needlemouse turns out great. Posted by DrGFunk on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 pm Comment # 642 Woo, the spinny sunflowers are back! Really excited for Needlemouse… and i’m guessing it’s going to be called Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (or something) Posted by Splapp-me-do on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 pm Comment # 643 Can’t wait for thursday Posted by Cstyler on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 pm Comment # 644 WHAT?! I had 450!! Damn thing!! >_< Posted by Swiss on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 pm Comment # 645 @Curleh: I think some commented that had been sent before hadn’t yet registered. It’s obvious we practically broke the blog, so I’m sure the numbers will be shifting around for a bit.

I love you with all my emerald power. Posted by Shoeunited on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:06 pm Comment # 648 Looks like this news is spreading well. Just posted and after reloading the site for like 5 times to get it working 400 more comments are added!!!! 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.

Posted by Spark on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:07 pm Comment # 655 I honestly think doing it as number comments was a bad idea…not very fair tbh.

Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:08 pm Comment # 659 Hahaha, thats funny. I had post 331, but then it changed to post 381 after refresh. Mad lag. Feel sorry for the guy who thought he had 333. Posted by Dillo64 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:08 pm Comment # 660 Awesome, thanks! Posted by Robert on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:09 pm 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. Posted by RedMenace on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:09 pm Comment # 662 I thought I was 100 for about ten minutes but then I popped up as 170 or something. Ah who cares, I’m a happy Sonic fan. I wonder what Robotnik will look like, or will they use something like the Sonic Xtreme concept, Cybernik. Posted by The Shield on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:09 pm Comment # 663 I wonder what happens if you have a good position number and write that you don’t like sonic? Do you also get a Sonic prize? lol Posted by sonic2D3D on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:09 pm Comment # 664 Awesome music!

Posted by Milie_stails_prowler on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:10 pm Comment # 668 Music is a bit weird! I kind of like it though. Posted by Kerry Floyd on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:10 pm Comment # 669 I’m disappointed. We drew hundreds of Badniks, most of them were awesome, and we have what? A palmtree, a flower, a piece of (nice) music and a contest about posting comments? I wouldn’t be so disappointed if we at leat got a sketch of Sonic or a piece of landscape :/ I understand the meaning behing those concepts, but they’re not enough for what we did, IMO ! Posted by Adamis on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:10 pm Comment # 670 Can’t wait for the big reveal. Today was nothing but Genesis play time, tomorrow Nomad all the way, then the next day GameGear/MasterSystem. This weeks gotten me in the mood to play some Sonic.

Well, now that that we’re past 500 comments lets hope for some decent ones. Quality over quantity guys. 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.

One comment of mine went from 50 to 51, and another went from 330 to 331. Hmm… I hope this doesn’t happen too many more times, I was happy to see I landed those numbers earlier.

Posted by VexusVersion on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:15 pm Comment # 722 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.

Posted by segafan on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:17 pm Comment # 737 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. I’ve got my money set aside, sega, just don’t make me cry. Posted by Trunks on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:17 pm Comment # 738 Maybe they could get the Sonic CD guys (both US and JP Soundtracks) together to do music. Posted by Donnyku on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:17 pm Comment # 739 Really looking forward to the new game, as a fan since the first on Mega Drive when I was a kid. I love the fan interaction you’re doing with us too, it feels more personal. Good luck SEGA! Posted by LanDi on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:17 pm Comment # 740 I’m really psyched for Needlemouse! From what we’ve seen so far I think it seems pretty cool,and I love how Sega is interacting with us through the Needlemouse challenges.

Posted by RedMenace on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:18 pm Comment # 747 i think needlemouse will be good hopefully i would lol if they released a joke concept art of sonic with a sword XD i managed to beat sonic 1 without losing any lives #intersting sonic fact about me 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). Posted by foreversonic on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:18 pm Comment # 749 I was thinking one of the concept art would be a tree or something before today. Pretty cool. Posted by autumnseed on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:18 pm Comment # 750 Really like the concept art! It’s making me even more hyped for this game. I hope it turns out as good as it sounds like it’s going to. Happy Hedgehog Day! Posted by Vanessa on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:18 pm Comment # 751 It sounds a bit like music from Sonic 3 or maybe Knuckles Chaotix. Posted by Aaron Haney on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:18 pm Comment # 752 Wow, you’re doing more prizes?! You guys just keep on giving! Ahhh, I’m totally loving this hype train. I’ve never seen so many comments so fast though! I guess it proves how high our hope are for this game! (Or how much people want free stuff! ) You know what, imma go play some Sonic 3, in celebration of this ober-abundance of awesome! Posted by Zink120 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:18 pm Comment # 753 Just caught the music on the front page. Thats one awesome track there.

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 Posted by Feniiku on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:19 pm Comment # 767 Happy Hedgehog day everyone!

Posted by Zink120 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 770 I was refreshing the blogs all day Monday and all morning today, waiting for this announcement. I’m glad to hear the next two days will have more updates and such, so I don’t have to go crazy with wait. SONIC DOES NOT WAIT – PATIENCE IS FOR HOSPITALS Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 771 3 Cheers for Sonic!!! So looking forward to Needlemouse. Thanks guys! Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 772 This is amazing, I really love the little Jingle in the Happy Hedgehog day gif! Hopefully the music in-game will revolve around this, because its very retro sounding. Happy hedgehog day everyone & sega! Posted by Martin Bell on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 773 Carrying on, then! Maybe it’s just my speakers, but the music sounds like it’s trying too hard to be Sonic-1-ish. :/ Posted by Kaz on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 774 Holy crap, I’ve never seen so many comments at once! Posted by Paul Street on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 775 Come on, let’s win a prize! Posted by Zonic505 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 776 Contrary to popular belief, Project Needlemouse is a golf game: “Sonic Fore”. Posted by Exu on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 777 You know what’d be fantastic? Some Spencer Nielson action. Someone toss on the Sonic Boom CD and listen to it for a while, then go back to work. That’d be soooo good. Posted by Trunks on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 778 Wow, you’re doing more prizes?! You guys just keep on giving! Ahhh, I’m totally loving this hype train. I’ve never seen so many comments so fast though! I guess it proves how high our hope are for this game! (Or how much people want free stuff! ) You know what, imma go play some Sonic 3 and Knuckles, in celebration of this over-abundance of awesome! Maaaan it won’t even let me post there’s so much activity! :O This blog = on fire!!! Posted by Zink120 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 pm Comment # 779 SONIC!!

He writes “Good look everyone!” and then he is actually the lucky one Posted by sonic2D3D on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 781 The concept art and music are fantastic. Keep it coming!!! Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 782 HAppy HEDGEHOG DAY EVERYONE!! Posted by Supersonic84 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 783 This is the best!!! Sonic fans are literally slowing down this page with our speed. Posted by Evan on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 784 I love you so much SEGA! Can’t wait! Posted by Nowan on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 785 Hoping it is Sonic 4 but then the whole build up to the name would be seen as a let down Posted by Southe on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 786 Man I can’t wait for this game. It looks awesome so far with all of the old stuff and everything! Posted by Kevin on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 787 I hope I win something =P Posted by Maedhros on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 788 I even wore my Sonic 2 shirt today ;D Posted by Michael on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 789 With regards to the concept art, it is still looking very Sonic 1-like. Not that I’m complaining, I loved Sonic 1! Posted by Gavvie on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 790 I just accidentally the Sega Blog Posted by Metaru on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 791 I’m speechless Sega, I really am. I love the trees and the flower. Very old school. Not too sure about the music, but I’m sure you’ll get it. Posted by DAGarden on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 792 MUST GET A PRIZE!!!!!! Still can’t hear it cuz I can’t find it Posted by BakingBluePotatoe on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 793 i didn’t like sonic 3 i know i must be crazy -_- sonic 2 is my favourite sonic game #interesting sonic fact about me Posted by YodaZeltchy1 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:21 pm Comment # 794 The preview music is awesome and gives me high hopes for the game. Posted by GoldGameMaster on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm Comment # 795 this is pretty funny i just found all my recordings of the old sonic cartoon Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm Comment # 796 That music is pretty awful. No one wants to hear music that sounds like that. Posted by Bob Bobster on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm Comment # 797 #700 comment is who? Posted by Kirboy on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm Comment # 798 I won’t give up on getting something. Posted by Christopher on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm Comment # 799 I just now noticed “who just has black eyes”. I was just talking about how much I missed that YESTERDAY Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm Comment # 800 The page keeps breaking STILL. XD Posted by Swiss on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm Comment # 801 man i hope i land on a 50, i really want something cool Posted by Kolma on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm Comment # 802 what music? where is it? Posted by DWalrus on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm Comment # 803 I almost feel like a kid again. D: Posted by Blyde on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm Comment # 804 Super toast. Posted by Setnaro X on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm Comment # 805 The site is going bonkers! Too many Sonic fans!!! Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm Comment # 806 I don’t care bout a prize right now anymore. The excitement got to me (and I had a post at 332 too. ) 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. Posted by RGamer2009 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm Comment # 807 I have a clean copy of Sonic 3 hanging on my wall between Sonic 2 and Sonic & Knuckles. I will gladly give away my copy of Sonic 3 if I somehow win a signed one. Even if I only get the insert! Posted by Trunks on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm Comment # 808 You know what would be awesome? If they released the game as a Genesis cart. It might end up being too big and too epic, but it would be an incredible piece of memorabilia. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:24 pm Comment # 809 Hello, I think the original palmtrees are a great idea, it was fun to look closely at them to try to find the item, lol Posted by Angnix on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:24 pm Comment # 810 So this is going to be really old-school Sonic then? Black eyes? What about the design of Eggman? I don’t mind his new duds… Posted by Paul Street on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:24 pm Comment # 811 can’t stop listening to jingle Posted by -Sonic~Boom- on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:24 pm Comment # 812 Hope this will all turn out well Posted by Alex on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:24 pm Comment # 813 Can’t wait to see the name. I spammed the crap out of twitter during that “playable character” elimination. Posted by Bogard07 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:24 pm Comment # 814 Here’s hoping for Chao! Posted by Mango Mongoose on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:25 pm Comment # 815 I cannot wait until Thursday! Its gonna be amazing! Posted by Aaron Haney on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:25 pm Comment # 816 wow this page takes forever to load and refresh… cant wait till thursday.. crosses fingers for a wii confirmation Posted by empororllid on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:25 pm Comment # 817 You guys should have been better prepared for this. Posted by KZS on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:25 pm Comment # 818 As this game is not a remake of sonic 1 and has brand new levels, I will laugh my head off it the 1st zone is called “light green hill”. There is a lot of green hill concept art here, so im just wondering. Posted by Nikesh on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:25 pm Comment # 819 Happy hedgehog day! Posted by Kevin 2 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:25 pm Comment # 820 If only this blog moved at Sonic speed… Posted by Just Me on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:25 pm Comment # 821 Hmm… Must think of something so say… lol I wonder if this game with have the structure of S3&K? How it all flowed into each other. That was soooo good. OMG! Are you guys gonna call him Eggman or Robotnik? (No prizes for guessing which I’d like! ) Soooo hyped right now! O_O Posted by Zink120 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:26 pm Comment # 822 man, the building anticipation for even just a few bits and pieces of information on this is brutal Posted by tom wolfe on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:27 pm Comment # 823 wow… Thursday I’m waiting for ya… Posted by SMD2 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:27 pm Comment # 824 It’s interesting what we still don’t know, I mean technology has come a heck of a long way since the old Sonics – image how much detail, particle effects and animation could be put into the new one (not that I want to pressure you Sega :p) Posted by Retroid on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:27 pm Comment # 825 Thanks Sega for more prizes! I thought my chance was shot.I do wonder however If there will be more Needlemouse challenges! Posted by Manic on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:27 pm Comment # 826 PIRIKA PIRILALA POPORINA PEPERUTO! A multiple of fifty! Gaaaaahhh,,,, so stoked! Posted by BakingBluePotatoe on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:28 pm Comment # 827 zomg, this is so amazing! My childhood is coming back to me instantly! Posted by Daniel on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:28 pm Comment # 828 This site is crawling because of all of the comments! People are willing to fall back in love with Sonic. Project Needlemouse is going to do it. Posted by Narles on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:28 pm Comment # 829 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. Posted by Trunks on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:28 pm Comment # 830 At this rate we will hit 1k comments. Posted by Metaru on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:28 pm Comment # 831 Maybe there should be a limit to the number of comments. I mean, they can only give out so many prizes. This is going to go on forever lol. Anyway, I really am curious as to what we are going to see Thursday as the extra bonus. I have a feeling this game is finally going to serve Sonic well! = ) Posted by Vanessa on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:29 pm Comment # 832 OMG more chances for prizes! Posted by dashrollrush on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:29 pm Comment # 833 this game will be so awesome! Posted by lanmanna on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:29 pm Comment # 834 Absolutely loving this throwback to the Genesis error. 4th day of the month, 4th day of the week? Sound delicious. Posted by Dan Man on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:29 pm Comment # 835 Maybe they’ll do another art contest of sorts, last one was quite fun. Posted by Donnyku on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm Comment # 836 i remember begging for sonic 3, and the sonic and knuckles expansion i just bought them again on the xbox arcade because i couldn’t find the video cable on my genesis Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm Comment # 837 We keep breaking the site. I wonder if they’re gonna be able to do something about that, or just hope things die down a bit >> My mind is going a million miles a minute fantasizing about all the things that could be done with this game. This hype is going to wreck me. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm Comment # 838 wow this so sweet, but now i have to wait 2 WHOLE DAYS TILL NEXT TIME!! Posted by DANCOP25 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm Comment # 839 Aw, I was so close last time! Posted by Zonic505 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm Comment # 840 Here’s to 750? Get hype. Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm Comment # 841 i cannot wait for thursday. my inner 5-year-old is going insane right now. Posted by Tim on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm Comment # 842 I like how the music is, but I am more curious at how the gameplay is like. Posted by Vortex on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm Comment # 843 Oh man I hope the site’ll get fixed soon. XD Posted by Crescent on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:32 pm Comment # 844 750 so close! Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:32 pm Comment # 845 This game will be incredible! I can’t wait Posted by eldopo on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:32 pm Comment # 846 yehhhh Posted by empororllid on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:32 pm Comment # 847 SONIC BOOOOOM. Dying for a price. Go Team Sonic! Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 848 go blue! if mario makes a camio i’m gonna be pissed. no more stupid new characters please sonic team (:( verizon deleted my other post so this is abbreviated. :/ if it doesn’t work this time i got copy pasta prepared.. Posted by balding spikes on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 849 Where’s the music? i can’t find it on the link. Posted by insomniac89 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 850 Come on, prize! Posted by Zonic505 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 851 My damn internet. >_< Posted by Swiss on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 852 cant stop listening Posted by empororllid on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 853 ALMOOOOST THERE. Let’s GOOO. Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 854 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. Posted by StephenUK on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 855 The comments are going a lot more slowly now that nobody can load the page, lol. At what point do you think they’ll stop giving prizes? Certainly they can’t just keep giving them to EVERY 50th comment past 500… Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 856 Loving the retro genesis approach to this, high hopes. 4th of the month, 4th day of the week, can’t wait for the name announcement. Posted by Dan Man on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 857 hopfully this game gets good reviews because people that just listen to them might come to re visit the franchise Posted by Supersonic84 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 858 Sounds like Sega is really going all out for Project Needlemouse and seeing all these concept art makes me real excited for the game to come out Posted by NeoSkyte on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 859 just listened to the music. more hyped than ever. Posted by Tim on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 860 Looking forward to Thursday! Posted by Scott on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm Comment # 861 I wonder if this game might be return the Death Egg Zone. Posted by GoldGameMaster on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 862 Eh… got to listen to the music at last… I don’t really like the mix of bad synths and Genesis style percussion, it just doesn’t mix well… to be honest, I don’t hope that’s the direction the music will be taking. =/ Posted by Patrick S. on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 863 man this internets are getting slow, there sure are a lot of fans out there!! Posted by DANCOP25 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 864 This is amazing, never in my life did I think Sonic fans would come together like this to show how much they love Sonic. Posted by Evan on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 865 reminds me how only just a few weeks ago I finally got my hands on Sonic 3 after owning the rest of the franchise for ages. Posted by Donnyku on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 866 man, I really hate the fact that someone named DARKSONIC won the signed copy of sonic 3. That just ain’t right. Posted by I Shot Web on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 867 I want more info on this game! I am so excited! Posted by Blayke LaRue on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 868 It’d be cool if we got an update tomorrow as well. Nothing big, just another piece of art or something. Posted by Tim on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 869 YES! I GOT 750! Posted by Zonic505 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 870 sounding awesome so far. hope u actually make some of ur own stuff and not just rip everything from the old games :/ and people saying that its gonna be like megaman 9, remember they did say its gonna be an HD adventure, so im pretty sure no 16-bit game is coming out. SEGA, u are an expert at teasing. i cant wait for thursday Posted by Blake on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 871 The concept art is looking nice, and the music isn’t too terrible either. Looking forward to this. Posted by woolever89 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 872 It’s going to be an absolute classic Sonic game! Yeah!! Posted by Master0 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 873 LOL, my buddy Zonic got it instead. Nice job. Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm Comment # 874 one of my favorites though is the sonic game for the game gear i spent a small fortune in battery’s for that thing Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm Comment # 875 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. Posted by Paul on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm Comment # 876 Really cannot wait for Needlemouse The music sounds brilliant! Posted by Swiss on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm Comment # 877 Just finished replaying sonic 3 and sonic & knuckles. And with this new project needlemouse this week just keeps getting better and better. Posted by carbonazure on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm Comment # 878 AWESOME! Liking that sample on the main page! Very Genesis like! Can’t wait until Thursday! Posted by Adam on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm Comment # 879 wow, more prizes! upto what number? Posted by sion on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm Comment # 880 please, release this for the wii also, I know that Sonic and Mario were big rivals in past but meh…they’re pals now, isn’t it wonderful?!? XDD so please, wii version too <3 I drawed this for the last challenge http://i48.tinypic.com/1r6n1s.png , can some of us (the one that made the drawings) get some prizes too? ç w ç pretty pleeease? Posted by Rush88 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm Comment # 881 @$%#! I keep missing the mark by less than 5. This is so disheartening. I wish the comments would slow down so people could actually try to talk to each other instead of simply posting in hopes of reaching a certain number (myself included). Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm Comment # 882 Is the competition even still going? Posted by Supersonic84 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm Comment # 883 Here’s hoping for Chao!…maybe… Posted by Mango Mongoose on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:36 pm Comment # 884 Come on Thursday!!!

Posted by TheSkysTheLimit on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:36 pm Comment # 886 Hmm 16 bit music with HD graphics? Seems odd. Posted by Kiajinn on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:36 pm Comment # 887 Oof, this is torture. I went from winning a prize, to not actually winning it, to coming so so so close again and again Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:36 pm Comment # 888 I just hope Needlemouse is as enjoyable as the classics, if that happens I’ll love you forever Sega Posted by Jorge on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:36 pm Comment # 889 It has now become a mission to get something. Posted by Christopher on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:36 pm Comment # 890 I’m going to try again, I’m not sure if my first one came through. I like the palmtree! I like finding hidden thingies, lol Posted by Angnix on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:36 pm Comment # 891 Haha, broken blog Posted by Kayona-Kim on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm Comment # 892 You know, the real thing I wonder for this is what Sonic’s sprite will look like? Posted by JordanRinehart on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm Comment # 893 Ah, so they’re gonna add more prizes. Sweet! Also, I found the music and it was interesting, but like some people, I would have preferred something arranged instead of a midi. Posted by Unleashedfox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm Comment # 894 So far, the game sounds great. Wonder what Thursday has instore? Posted by Swiss on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm Comment # 895 SEGA, look what happens at Sonic CIS Forum – http://bit.ly/9epcHZ Posted by NeKit on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm Comment # 896 I hope the game is for the Wii. I’m excited! and prizes.. Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm Comment # 897 I’ll keep trying til 800. Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm Comment # 898 OMG! This looks amazing!!! I love what I’ve seen so far, looks like this time sonic is getting back to his roots FOR REAL! This is awesome…But I would like to see ails and Knuckles there too, not just sonic. Sega, please, make them unlockables or DLC! Posted by Ash the dragon on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm Comment # 899 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. Posted by Orengefox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm Comment # 900 Can’t say I’m too impressed by this. Green Hill version 100 and generically “classic” music…doesn’t really excite me. Hopefully Thursday makes up for this.

I kinda thinking they might make them like Sonic 1′s special stages.

Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:38 pm Comment # 915 Happy Hedgehog Day Posted by Finn on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:38 pm Comment # 916 If I got that sweet Sonic towel, I would so frame it. Posted by GoldGameMaster on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:38 pm Comment # 917 Almost there! Sonic!!! Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:38 pm Comment # 918 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. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:38 pm Comment # 919 I hope this game comes out on disc.. thatd be something nice to own instead of just a downloaded game Posted by empororllid on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 920 Anyway, About the music, I really think it’s verry awesome. I wonder who composed it. Maybe Jun…. Posted by Alex on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 921 Wow almost 800 comments o.o PN’s lookin really cool, and im diggin that music. Posted by KoolKojoS on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 922 SO SO CLOSE. NEEDLEMOUSE <3 Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 923 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. Posted by Verg on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 924 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! Posted by Paul on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 925 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. Posted by Pots on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 926 Awesome. happy hedgehog day! ^^ god those concept art bring back memories Posted by john on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 927 aww off by one Posted by empororllid on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 928 Found the music in the end; I wonder if that’s the final music or just a remixed sample. It seems very odd to pair that with HD graphics. Posted by insomniac89 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 929 Never give up!!! Love you Sonic!! Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 930 Those prizes sure look nifty, here’s my go at it. Posted by woolever89 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 931 Is Masato Nakamura doing the music for this game? Posted by Jorge on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 932 Maybe there could be DLC, like new stages, maybe some extra playable characters….Tails and Knux aren’t that bad…wii Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 933 Woah! I go offline for a few minutes, and I nearly miss this. o_O It’s amazing to see such a good showing for Sonic’s next game. ^_^ and I can’t wait to hear Needlemouse’s real name. Posted by T-Patch on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 934 sonic 2 is my favourite sonic game (: Posted by YodaZeltchy1 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 935 Yay I can’t wait Posted by Evan on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 936 I hope it will be available for the PC. Since in the near future i won’t buy a X360, Ps3 or a Wii. Posted by Kizaru on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm Comment # 937 Well isn’t this nice? Posted by MetalSonic on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 938 Aw love the concepts ^__^ Posted by Nela on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 939 800 HERE WE COME. SONIC BOOOM Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 940 well, I’ll try a couple more times at this, will this be 800? Anyway spinning sunflower is great too, though that would place the game in the Americas I think… lol Posted by Angnix on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 941 yeah, i think until it calms down, it will be impossible to have a normal conversation here Posted by sion on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 942 Been playing Mega Collection all week! Posted by Scott on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 943 Sounds cool. I only have an out of box copy of sonic 3, no manual, and it’s battery save is dead :<. Posted by Solomon on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 944 Awful music Facepalm Posted by Mirrorz on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 945 @ Blake:790 – Seeing as how this is in HD, I can only assume it’s PS3/360 game. I’m glad I got a PS3. Posted by Christopher on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 946 I’d also love to frame the Sonic and MetlSonic scrol Posted by GoldGameMaster on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 947 2d 16 bit yeah you guys should make like a sonic 2d series and a 3d to keep fans happy i love both Posted by George on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 948 Sonic needlemouse is awesome… Posted by woolever89 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 949 Hopefully 800 now. Posted by Finn on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 950 Im excited and disapointed at the same time but the excitement is higher then the disapoint ment, all i have left to say is… please let thursday bring a trailer i dont know how much longer i can take this teasing, its worse then 10 bullys in elementary school. Posted by Chuck on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 951 Ugh… need new Flash Player to hear it. Posted by Tearror on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 952 I doubt I’ll win anything but I’ll give it a try Posted by Vortex on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 953 wait’s for PN’s real name* Yep. ^_^ Posted by autumnseed on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 954 Trying again! Posted by Kayona-Kim on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 955 I mean, would they re-include Chao? Doesn’t look like anyone here really cares… Posted by Mango Mongoose on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 956 I love the Hedgehog Day animation! 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. ^_^ Posted by MewtwoWarrior on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 957 Dang it! i cant find enough battery’s to play my game gear Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 958 I hope I win i never win anything Posted by Supersonic84 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 959 I’d hope for this game on Steam, or maybe playability on the PSP. Posted by Lupo on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:40 pm Comment # 960 Ahhh good old SEGA back to doing what they do best Create AAA title games. I’m Loving sega more than ever this year keep up the good work guys Posted by no1phil (gamertag) on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 961 ahahha, February 4th – Sonic 4 … i have already noticed that Posted by SL Ruiz on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 962 I bet I miss 800 as well. But hope keeps me going. I NEED THIS SWAG! Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 963 Can’t get the music sample working, but if it’s as good as the concept art then awesome Posted by mrbluru on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 964 Sweeet every 50 comments Posted by Spydaman on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 965 If this game is really worth it and doesn’t come out on Wii I’ll seriously consider buying a PS3/360! Posted by Jorge on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 966 sega sure knows how to make ppl happy Posted by DG on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 967 I also hope this game would come out for Wii. But no matter what I’ll be getting this game! I can’t wait to learn more about it. I get more excited everyday! Posted by Vanessa on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 968 I for one would love to see the return of Hyper Sonic or at least have Super Sonic playable in normal zones. Posted by Rurouni Sonic on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 969 Wow, almost at 850 already! Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 970 Wow, I look away for a measly hour and the post count is nearing 800. That’s crazy. Now we wait til Thursday. Posted by 'T' on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 971 wow awesome Posted by John on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 972 I really, really hope this game has SPECIAL STAGES. Posted by Scott on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 973 Was hoping for more info, and actual screenshots, but roll on Thursday… Posted by SonicAD on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 974 doh’ Anyway, umm… will this be 850? I hope the first zone will be more than a Greenhill remake though Posted by Angnix on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 975 That’s right, it could just be a 16 bit version of the final song. Hopefully that’s what it is. Posted by Unleashedfox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 976 so I am 750. love this game.Needlemouse will rock!

Don’t forget Wii! Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:41 pm Comment # 979 please let me win, Sega fan since 1994. The death of the dreamcast was simply heartbreaking. Posted by I Shot Web on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:42 pm Comment # 980 I once grew a sunflower like that. Posted by sion on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:42 pm Comment # 981 Wow theres more than 10 comments each minute, sega i’m sorry for your servers xD Posted by KoolKojoS on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:42 pm Comment # 982 I am really interested in winning a prize, as well as knowing who is making the music for this game. Posted by Evan on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:42 pm Comment # 983 I wish I could figure out a timing thing to get a correct post. Posted by Christopher on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:42 pm Comment # 984 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. Posted by Donnyku on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:43 pm Comment # 985 i can’t wait! this will be amazing. nostalgia 101! Posted by Spencer on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:43 pm Comment # 986 So now the competition takes it’s turn and we’re all going for multiples of 50? So be it. Heh since I’ve read the original post I’ve been sitting in the office not working for about an hour or so now.

Posted by empororllid on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:43 pm Comment # 991 I hope to feel some nostalgia while playing Project Needlemouse! Posted by Alexandre on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:43 pm Comment # 992 I wonder when sega will cap the prizes for comments. I mean if they don’t there is going to be thousands of comments and they are gonna have to give away so many prizes.

I think i still have them somewhere back in Texas (stuck in LA now) > Posted by carbonazure on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:46 pm Comment # 1018 Here’s to the next significant number? Cheers. Also SEGA, pwease don’t do a Sonic Cycle on us. =( Posted by -Sonic~Boom- on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:46 pm Comment # 1019 Amazing… Great concept art and cool contest! Posted by Tjerk Otten on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:47 pm Comment # 1020 can SEGA tell us the composer’s name? Posted by NSIYusuke on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:47 pm Comment # 1021 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! Posted by Rodrigo RdS on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:47 pm Comment # 1022 I’m guessing we’re either getting a release date or a trailer on Thursday. I’m leaning towards the release date though. Posted by Tim on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:47 pm Comment # 1023 I can’t wait to get to know the final name of the game now! Posted by Master0 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm Comment # 1024 one thing I’ll always remember about sonic 3 is that it always made my brother and i get along Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm Comment # 1025 Hi there! Posted by LehonardEuler on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm Comment # 1026 i like the concept art Posted by YodaZeltchy1 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm Comment # 1027 the music was great. i have incredibly fond memories of all the songs in the genesis games. i hope this new game is just as great. Posted by Tim on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm Comment # 1028 Wow Almost a thousand comments in a little over an hour. Posted by Evan on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm Comment # 1029 Can’t wait for this game! Posted by Swiss on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm Comment # 1030 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”) Posted by balding spikes on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:48 pm Comment # 1031 the other prizes aren’t book marks are they? Posted by sion on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:49 pm Comment # 1032 I hope to hear more of the music from this game and maybe a few screenshots! This will definitely be an awesome game if done right. Posted by Vanessa on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:49 pm Comment # 1033 Omg, the music. THE MUSIC Nostalgia. c: Posted by LennyV on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:49 pm Comment # 1034 I wonder if this game will be Sonic 4 and be Episodic like it was rumoured. I hope so. That would be awesome. Posted by jackaroo on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:49 pm Comment # 1035 Special grats to Ruby for BREAKING OUR BLOGS. Good work, Ruby Eclipse! Posted by Edward@Sega on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:50 pm Comment # 1036 I hope sega didn’t take the “less friends” bashing as DELETE EVERYONE EXCEPT SONIC. Tails and Knuckles are vital to he series as sonic is speed, tails is exploration, and knuckles is power and the unofficial hard mode. Posted by I Shot Web on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:50 pm Comment # 1037 Get me my prize, SEGA. Posted by Inacio on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:50 pm Comment # 1038 Man i’m so anxious for the 4th to hear the game’s name. Posted by GoldGameMaster on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:50 pm Comment # 1039 IT would be awesome if the first level was green hill zone and if this was a prequel to sonic 1 I mean I love sonic games with only sonic ! thats why sonic 1 is my favorite game! Posted by John on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:50 pm Comment # 1040 I can’t wait, this is the most excited I have been for a Sonic game since Sonic R! (I know, I know…) Posted by Meax on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:50 pm Comment # 1041 Maybe they managed to get Dreams Come True to come back? That’d certainly be interesting, haha Posted by Hatch on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:50 pm Comment # 1042 I can’t believe the ride the sonic blog is taking me on. So many bumps and bruises . Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:50 pm Comment # 1043 Congrats to the winners of the prizes! Good job everyone on breaking the blog too! Posted by dexter120395 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:51 pm Comment # 1044 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 Posted by Jen on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:51 pm Comment # 1045 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. 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 . . .

Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:52 pm Comment # 1050 I remember i made some nice renderings of Sonic and Knuckles when i was obsessed with sonic games as a kid. I think i still have them back in Texas (In LA now). Wish i could send those in to Sega. Posted by carbonazure on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:52 pm Comment # 1051 The music sounds very 16 bits retro like. ^_^ Posted by sonicfan on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:52 pm Comment # 1052 Number 1000, surely…not, oh well, i might as well go and paint a hedgehog from the garden blue Posted by sion on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:52 pm Comment # 1053 BRING BACK THE DEATH EGG OMGGGGGG Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:53 pm Comment # 1054 My internet keeps failing on this site D: Posted by Supersonic84 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:53 pm Comment # 1055 Just checked out the flash on Sega’s main page.

Posted by Zack on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:55 pm Comment # 1064 since needlemouse had that teaser trailer ive had a screenshot of it and my desktop wallpaper Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:55 pm Comment # 1065 Happy Hedgehog day by the way! Posted by Master0 on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:55 pm Comment # 1066 These concept art pieces are fantastic, very reminiscent to Sonic 1,2 and CD.. which is exactally what i’m hoping “Needlemouse” will be. Thank you SEGA ^_^ Posted by Vaux on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:55 pm Comment # 1067 Man, the Sega Blogs sure are taking a hit… But that’s what happens when you give stuff away. Posted by T-Patch on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:55 pm Comment # 1068 You know what would be really cool? If they used the engine to make needlemouse to remake the original 4 on the sega genesis (Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles) I wouldn’t regret supporting sega by buying 2006 and unleashed ever again if thats where the money goes to. Posted by I Shot Web on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:55 pm Comment # 1069 This game will be the most awesome game ever made I think I like the update, especcialy the information. Concept art is nice but descriptions can be nice too Posted by Jaouad on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:55 pm Comment # 1070 This week will be a good one!

Actually, I’d like the insta-shield, too! Posted by Scott on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:56 pm Comment # 1075 I see people leaving Posted by sion on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:56 pm Comment # 1076 i’ve been a sonic fan almost longer than i can remember. it would be incredible to win of these prizes. it would honestly be the ultimate piece of gaming memorabilia i could possibly own. Posted by Tim on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:56 pm Comment # 1077 I knew there were a ton of Sonic fans out there, but this is just simply spectacular! What’s even better is the possibilities that this game is presenting. It took me a moment to get enthusiastic about being presented with a tree, but now I can’t wait to see how they’re going to be implemented in the new adventure. Keep on juicin’! Posted by Aurebesh on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1078 I wonder if they’ll add other playable characters as dlc later on. I don’t mind having a few other characters so long as the gameplay style and stage designs remains the same (S3K) Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1079 SO CLOSE.

Posted by Kirboy on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1082 BAHHH, I’m dyin here. So want to win. Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1083 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). Posted by sonic2D3D on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1084 Damn I cant wait to know more!!! Posted by SL Ruiz on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1085 Just managed to listened to the music – sounds great! Posted by TheSkysTheLimit on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1086 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 :] Posted by Daniel on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1087 I’ve been waiting for this since sonic 3! (did i win anything =D? ) Posted by Papayaman on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1088 FANTASTIC SUPERB ULTRA sonical Posted by Dr.Eggfang on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:57 pm Comment # 1089 DUDE THE SUNFLOWERS ARE BACK!..You can’t believe how excited just seeing that makes me!

Posted by Ty on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:58 pm Comment # 1090 i concur with the other guy: i’ve never fought the internet so hard! and whathisname: tails and knuckles belong. i’m also a big fan of sonic CD so i’m quite fond of metal sonic and a darker robotnik, not so sure about amy though… how about some sally acorn xD Posted by balding spikes on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:58 pm Comment # 1091 I hope the game is released on a disc format as well so i can have something to collect and hang on to. Posted by eldopo on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:58 pm Comment # 1092 I really hope that isn’t what the final music will sound like. It doesn’t have nearly enough layers and sounds like something out of a flash game not a retro sonic game. I like where sega’s head is at but it needs a little more work. Posted by deathmitten on February 2nd, 2010 at 2:59 pm Comment # 1093 LOL, this is just funny that I haven’t been able to get it yet.

I thought we were friends! Posted by CurlehMustache on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:04 pm Comment # 1121 Now I just have to hope I can play this game on a console I own. Who knows, maybe it will be released on the Genesis/Mega Drive as well. Wouldn’t that be funny. Posted by Chris on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:04 pm Comment # 1122 I can’t wait!

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.

I can’t wait for this game to come out I hope it just lives up to the hype and I hope they bring back sonics original look not the green eye anime look because sonics look in the 90′s was iconic then sega changed sonic’s look the new sonic look is not iconic.

Posted by Xscoot on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:10 pm Comment # 1153 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.

Posted by Jorge on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:11 pm Comment # 1155 Wow… That’s such a turnout, especially since it took so long to get anywhere near our last goal of 1250 on the Twitter thing. It was a lot of fun though- I really enjoyed being part of the experience. Argh, but I want to know NOW! XD I must admit, holding out on us like this is a little frustrating, but if you say it’s worth it, who am I to question that?

THATS what the musics gonna sound like? how stupid nestalgic is sonic team going for? is sonic 4 going to be for my cell phone? right now i’m thinking that that preview on the front screen is just about as good as its gonna get guys.. >:( you can really tell how much faith i have left in sega after all those let downs. i’ve been a fan since the early 90′s i think i’ve earned the right to be really cynical about this.

Posted by Anthony on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:12 pm Comment # 1166 I still think it’s going to be a remake, maybe of all the Mega Drive games in 3 or 4 episodes. That would be awesome! And then we will get a real Sonic 4 in 2011 as a present of Sonics 20th anniversary! Posted by Master0 on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:12 pm Comment # 1167 I bet the bonus might be a trailor for the game… Posted by StupendousSteve on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:12 pm Comment # 1168 I wonder if any of the themes and jingles will be recycled/remixed, or if it will be all new music.

Posted by I Shot Web on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:14 pm Comment # 1173 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. Posted by Teknoman on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:14 pm Comment # 1174 Sonic is back! Posted by sonicchao on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:14 pm Comment # 1175 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?

Posted by ShadowVelocity on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:18 pm Comment # 1187 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).

Can’t wait to see more of it ;D Posted by Vinicius on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:20 pm Comment # 1194 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!

Posted by autumnseed on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:20 pm Comment # 1196 speaking of 2d sonic games, when are you releasing that classic sonic collection for the DS? Portable classic sonic would be nice also. Posted by I Shot Web on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:20 pm Comment # 1197 Wow… just wow… quite the response. I know it’s probably because of the freebies, but let’s say it’s a good sign for needlemouse Posted by Tom on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:21 pm Comment # 1198 I wonder if they are also going to be creating new badniks? That would be really cool in my opinion. Project Needlemouse is going to be amazing. Posted by Vanessa on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:22 pm Comment # 1199 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 Posted by UltimateHyperSuperSonic on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:22 pm Comment # 1200 goddamdn when i try to comment blog crashes again ! calm dow n guys … Posted by Myeou on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:22 pm Comment # 1201 is this it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nwq0u_idR8&feature=channel ?? is this post 5000 Posted by sion on February 2nd, 2010 at 3:22 pm Comment # 1202 Sounds just like a classic Sonic title theme!

Posted by Adamis on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:20 pm Comment # 1222 Yeah, I do hope that while Sega is invoking the legacy of the early Sonic games they won’t forget to give us some new stuff, too. New badniks, new art, etc. I want more than a pastiche of the games I already have!

Posted by Flyboy Fox on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:21 pm Comment # 1228 Finally heard the music snippet, glad it’s got a retro vibe. The only thing this game needs now is good level design and a new classic is born. Posted by Matthew on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:21 pm Comment # 1229 From what I’ve seen so far it should be really exciting to see what all this waiting is for. Come on Sega, give us something good to look forward to! Posted by Claire Cameron on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:22 pm Comment # 1230 Whoops, typo in my other post Project ‘Needlemouse’.

THIS GAME NEEDS A METAL SONIC! and gosh dangit this comment took forever to post! Posted by Ty on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:22 pm Comment # 1235 Good to see some more classic plants. I hope that there isn’t a checkerboard level to go with it though. Some new patterns would be nice. Posted by hurrdurr on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:22 pm Comment # 1236 These contests have been boggling my mind with the immense support they have been getting. Just goes to show that there’s still a ridiculous amount of support for Sonic even after all his flops. Or SEGA’s just good at building up hype again. Still, can’t argue with the results.

Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:24 pm Comment # 1247 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.

This is awesome! Well, I do have a question. You mentioned that Iizuka-san, one of Sonic 3′s senior level designers, is on hand. Is he doing the level design for Needlemouse?

Secondly, I can’t even put into words how much I’m looking forward to this game! Since playing sonic 1 when I was 4, I have been a huge fan of the blue hedgehog. Now aged 20, my only hope is that when I finally get a chance to play this, I’ll feel as excited as I was when I was 4! Will super sonic be making an appearance in Needlemouse?

Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:32 pm Comment # 1330 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. Posted by Failcake on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:32 pm Comment # 1331 I do hope that this game comes out on a Nintendo system. I can’t play it otherwise, yet. Posted by Staf on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:32 pm Comment # 1332 So, what about informations bout the making of?

Posted by Riana on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:34 pm Comment # 1341 @Galaxy Man: ME EITHER, LET’S BE EXCITED TOGETHER! Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:34 pm Comment # 1342 I wonder how long this will go for sega to give prizes Posted by Kolma on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:34 pm Comment # 1343 I really love to see new levels in this game. But I’d like to revisit the classic ones. Posted by Hogther on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:35 pm Comment # 1344 It probably will be Sonic Four or a combination of the Sonic Genesis trilogy (if you count Sonic 3 and S&K as one game). Posted by SonicHOG on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:35 pm Comment # 1345 We can do this Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:35 pm Comment # 1346 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. #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. Posted by serpx on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:35 pm Comment # 1348 this is so oldschool. Posted by ryan.m on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:35 pm Comment # 1349 Oh man, here’s hoping for one of the best-selling games to sell in a LONG TIME!

Posted by KnucklesSonic8 on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:36 pm Comment # 1352 I wonder if Sonic will have a more old-school design, the music certainly does. Posted by Daniel Powell on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:36 pm Comment # 1353 I hope Sega understands that little things matter, too. Like, I love how Sonic 1′s stages go from day to night, Posted by Scott on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:36 pm Comment # 1354 I’m glad the music stays true to itself. Posted by SuperSkunk on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:37 pm Comment # 1355 I was honestly hoping for something more, but at least the music sounds great.

Hopefully the elemental shield will make a return! Posted by ChakramStrike on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:39 pm Comment # 1362 I figured I’d comment on how much I love Sonic the hedgehog. I actually played through the Werewolf stages. That’s how much I love that little guy. Can’t wait for Project Needlemouse.

And I can’t wait to play it, I haven’t been this excited for a Sonic game since I was a little kid. Posted by Kevin on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:41 pm Comment # 1375 I honestly can’t wait for this game. I love how the concept art is looking so far, especially that palm tree, =O! Hopefully we get more badniks soon, =D. Posted by Cody Tucker on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:41 pm Comment # 1376 HD or 16 bit, I could care less.

Posted by OmniChronus on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:41 pm Comment # 1378 I wonder if SEGA will re-invent Sonic’s retro look or go with the more mordern style of Sonic. Posted by Jono on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:41 pm Comment # 1379 I really like the new pictures of concept art and song. I can’t wait till thursday. Posted by Evan on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:42 pm Comment # 1380 I really love if the game would have an bonus option (after beating the game) to replay the entire game with old 16-bit-ish graphics. Posted by Hogther on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:42 pm Comment # 1381 New Music is awesome by the way… old school sounds with a new twist!

Posted by Anthony on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:42 pm Comment # 1385 I grew up with sonic, one of the first games i beat was sonic 2. This will be a great game beacause sonic returns to his roots. Posted by David on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:42 pm Comment # 1386 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! Posted by Zingela on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:43 pm Comment # 1387 looking forward to the big name unveiling, (fingers crossed that its Sonic 4) Posted by celteen on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:43 pm Comment # 1388 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. Posted by Jix Hedgehog on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:43 pm Comment # 1389 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. Posted by Blue Emerald on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:43 pm Comment # 1390 Concept art looks pretty nice. Posted by Dustin on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:44 pm Comment # 1391 Can we hope for a list of levels names? Posted by Adamis on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:44 pm Comment # 1392 Even though this isn’t exactly what we waited for, those are some nice pieces of art. Can’t wait until Thursday! Posted by Mike on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:44 pm Comment # 1393 I’m hearing a lot of people whose first game was Sonic 2. SO WAS MINE! <3 Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:44 pm Comment # 1394 I hope theres a disc release too, it feels better to have something to hold ;D Posted by BlastedPinata on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:45 pm Comment # 1395 I wonder if the first stage will be like Green Hill Zone. Posted by blu on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:46 pm Comment # 1396 16 years is one hell of a hiatus, lol. Also, Oh boi oh boi oh boi I hope I win something Posted by Doomer000 on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:46 pm Comment # 1397 I think this game will be one of the best Sonic games out there.

Robotnik’s robot monkeys are lazy and bludge on the job. You’s should program monkeys that carry monitors into hidden locations.

You should take a look at the Sonic 2 HD project by the Sonic Retro team.

It’s my favorite. S3K is my favorite game in the series, but I thought Sonic’s sprite looked really odd. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:52 pm Comment # 1436 :O Yeah that’s a good point, I want to know systems too! Posted by NeOwL on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:52 pm Comment # 1437 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.

Or some type of mention to what happens after the floating island is restored (where did robotnik go at the end of sonic 3) Posted by MilesDX on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:52 pm Comment # 1442 I really can’t wait whats in store for us on thursday, this is so exciting! Posted by CartoonistDude on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:53 pm Comment # 1443 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? Posted by Zingela on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:53 pm Comment # 1445 here’s to hoping i get a prize. heh. happy HEDGEHOG day!

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!

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.

Posted by woolever89 on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:54 pm Comment # 1494 Great stuff…I can’t wait for the Thursday release…the art so far is making me think that the title will feature actual 2D art as opposed to 3D art in a single plane. Either way, I can’t wait to play it.

He is almost like he is now a part of me from the world of where he lives in and then reality. 1991 was probably the best year….for it made history to not only SEGA but to everyone who has ever played the first game. -A Hardcore and Forever loving Sonic Fan.

Posted by Silva Rymes on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:56 pm Comment # 1518 I hope this game doesn’t have talking. I don’t mean voices, I mean dialogue of any kind.

Posted by Janusz on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:57 pm Comment # 1534 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. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 4:57 pm Comment # 1535 MilesOX: my understanding was that Sonic was the only character, including NPCs. I suppose this is for the better, really.

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.

Let us take a wild guess…Green Hill Zone. Posted by Supertoad25 on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:00 pm Comment # 1596 If this game is going to be DLC like people are speculating, I wonder if it will be cheaper than a normal release… Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:00 pm 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.

Are you hatin’ on Live & Learn? It’s THE Sonic song! But yeah, for a retro game it makes sense that they’d do retro music.

Man, I loved starting a new game of Sonic 3 & Knuckles with the 7 Super Emeralds, that was just fantastic.

Posted by Laxturtle on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:02 pm Comment # 1652 Lol, So how many comments will Sega Allow? Did they put a limit on the ever 50 comment thing? We just might be taking all their money…. Ill take a preorder bonus for needlemouse… haha Posted by sonicemerald on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:02 pm Comment # 1653 I would love to see the return of time travel based levels.

Posted by Jin on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:03 pm Comment # 1661 ChaoticFox, maybe you shouldn’t comment about Romhacks on Sega’s blog.

Posted by Jin on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm Comment # 1682 I really liked the implementation of the saved games in Sonic 3. I hope they bring that back, or something similar. It’s such a convenience for replay value. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm Comment # 1683 Sonic is my all time fav Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm Comment # 1684 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.

Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm Comment # 1690 I hope theres a few cutscenes like in Sonic 2, or Sonic 3 Posted by CartoonistDude on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm Comment # 1691 That little clip of music is excellent! One more thing that this game needs is the good ol 8 bit sound track, none of these real songs. Please oh please Sega, make the music proper again! Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm Comment # 1692 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 Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm Comment # 1693 the sonic cycle has been broken for sure this time!

Posted by TheSoundDefense on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:05 pm Comment # 1700 I can’t even imagine what kind of kooky special stages the game is gonna feature. I wonder if there will be more than one (a la Sonic 3). Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:05 pm Comment # 1701 I agree that Metal Sonic would be awesome, but this is a retro game. Metal Sonic didn’t show up until Sonic CD, so he probably won’t be in Project Needlemouse. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:05 pm Comment # 1702 Super emeralds?

Posted by helmetal789 on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:05 pm Comment # 1722 I hope you don’t have to be in the US to win anything on here. I’m super excited about this, can’t wait to finally see where Sonic’s adventures continued to after Sonic 3+K. I count the 3D games as a sort of alternate reality scenario.

The leaves look really nice. Posted by DarkChaos on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:05 pm Comment # 1726 The music sounds good apart from the cheesy ending bit. I’m liking the retro style artwork, I hope the rest of the game lives up to it!

Posted by Jin on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:05 pm Comment # 1729 My oldest, fondest video game memories are of me and my dad passing the controller back and forth as we played the original Sonic. With every piece of concept art and tidbit of information released I get more and more stoked. I’ve never been this hyped for a game in my life.

Now if only we had a screenshot of the game… Posted by Chaos085 on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1734 I wonder what characters will never be able to be seen again? Posted by Janusz on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1735 this will be way past. Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1736 I’d buy a cart if they were able to release the game on a genesis cart. (in the vein of capcom)…. Sega, if you mess this one up… I think you’d have about 5 fans afterward… Posted by sonicemerald on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1737 Have Tails follow you, too! Posted by gamerC0LA64 on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1738 Looking forward to hearing/seeing more about this game for sure. Concept art looks pretty great so far, but I hope everything won’t just be a complete rehash of the first two Sonic games… Posted by Jiggeh on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1739 Im so close to winning Posted by David on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1740 this’ll be so awesome Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1741 the most memorable thing about green hill zone to me, are the spinning sunflowers. yes!

Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1746 Another thing desperately needed: collecting all the emeralds and being able to transform into Super Sonic in the regular levels! Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1747 I’d like to echo ChaoticFox on a save feature. Do want, please. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 pm Comment # 1748 Arg, so close with that last one. You know, Sonic and I were both born in the same year, he’s only a few months older than me. I’ve been a fan literally as long as I can remember. Sonic 3 & Knuckles has always been my favorite in the series. It also had the only special stages I could win… Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1749 Is it gonna only be downloadable? Posted by gamerC0LA64 on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1750 So how much is Sonic the Hedgehog 4 gonna cost me? Posted by Mike on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1751 2d games are the bomb Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1752 I hope this game will throw in some fan service (although, that’s kind of what the whole Project Needlemouse thing is kind of about. XD) Posted by SonicHOG on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1753 This is the best game ever before I even know the name I realize I will be playing it at least 8 times in the first day I get it. SONIC check SPEED check. Sega does what NINTENDONT. Posted by Sonic3Rulez on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1754 Bring back the creepy fish/bird backgrounds for the special stages. That would be REAL nostalgia. Posted by simon on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1755 Well, the art of a sunflower and a palm tree are a bit of a let down. But the music is pretty cool. I can’t believe we’re already nearing 1200 comments. Posted by NixMaster on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1756 #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! Posted by NurBoy on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1757 i hope the length of the game is longer than sonic 1, 2, 3, and knuckles combined. Posted by Jin on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1758 I just don’t want Needlemouse to be a short game Posted by Janusz on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1759 I hope Sonic will be able to go Super Sonic in any level once you get all the Chaos Emeralds just like in the old days. Posted by Mecha_shadow on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1760 Even if none of the other old badniks make it in, I AM HAPPY ABOUT MOTOBUG Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1761 I grew up with sonic, I pl,ayed the first 2 games when i was 4 years old and saved up for so long to buy the third game, seeing sonic go back to where it all started will be one of the biggest nostalgia trips ever for just about every true retro sonic fan!

Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1763 I can finally prove that Sonic is great, I’ve always believed in him, and have always be my idol when young. Can’t wait to feel those times again man. Posted by CartoonistDude on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm Comment # 1764 I want a release date so bad.

I GOTS IT! goodnight everyone Posted by Janusz on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:08 pm Comment # 1785 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? Posted by Paul B on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:08 pm Comment # 1786 Sonic needlemouse lock on capacities please?

That is just classic goodness right there. Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:09 pm Comment # 1792 I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many comments!!! Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:09 pm Comment # 1793 The music is pretty nice and reminds me of the Sonic 1/2/CD title screen themes. Posted by SonicHOG on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:09 pm Comment # 1794 Haha, all this talk about metal characters is making me think of Tails doll. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:09 pm Comment # 1795 Oh and another thing i forgot to mention, along with the music, and to compliment the nostalgia rush, and make sonic fans wet just at the sound, SEGA HAVE to put the green hill zone theme somewhere in the game, SOOO many of us would orgasm at the sound of it the first time playing through needlemouse Posted by EvetscipE on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:09 pm Comment # 1796 the old emerald/supersonic format should return, nothing like ripping through levels as super Posted by snowy10r on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:10 pm Comment # 1797 I can’t wait to hear what the music for the Zones sound like. Posted by SuperSkunk on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:10 pm Comment # 1798 I really like the new art. It looks very much like this will be a game that longtime fans will enjoy. Posted by Jyoudan_Sensei on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:10 pm Comment # 1799 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’d rather see NEW robots and NEW set-pieces with the same SPIRIT as in the old games, rather than copying them verbatim.

I can only hope. Guess I’ll find out soon enough. Posted by gr4yJ4Y on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:13 pm Comment # 1804 Just a thought, but why not have an “easy mode” on top of the regular mode? It would help novice gamers like myself. (I wasn’t even able to complete Sonic Advance 2, and it took me forever to beat Sonic Advance 1 and 3.)

Posted by Nick V on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:13 pm Comment # 1806 Sonic tails and knuckles will always be my <3 Posted by Josh Squires on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:16 pm Comment # 1807 I heard a rumor that it’ll be called Sonic 4. There’s a website up called sonicthehedgehog4.com, but it just redirects you to Sega. Coincidence, or something more? Anyway though, it would be really nice if the game played like Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I have high hopes for this game. Posted by William on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:16 pm Comment # 1808 Awesome, i can’t wait, this is gonig to be really cool!

Posted by Grant on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:17 pm Comment # 1812 Todo esto me trae muchisismos recuerdos, como cuando estaba con mi familia llenos de emocion por conseguir las esmeraldas y todo el dia tarareavamos la musica del juego, espero que todas esas sensaciones vuelvan con este juego:D Posted by juan villalvazo on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:18 pm Comment # 1813 I can’t wait!!! Posted by SuperSkunk on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:18 pm Comment # 1814 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. Posted by Davi Viana on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:19 pm Comment # 1815 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. Posted by Mit on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:19 pm Comment # 1816 My mind always draws a blank for what to say right around each 50 mark. Sigh. I just want my obsessive fandom to be rewarded. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:20 pm Comment # 1817 Another thing i forgot to mention, you guys HAVE to put the green hill zone theme into the game, it would make sonic fans orgasm hearing it now Posted by EvetscipE on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:21 pm Comment # 1818 Needlemouse is looking interesting…perhaps a closer remake of levels in the original Sonic games than we first thought? Posted by Kurt on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:23 pm Comment # 1819 Sometimes this page refreshes in seconds, other times it’s a good five minutes.

That concept art and music has me really excited! Posted by Awesome on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:23 pm Comment # 1821 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.

According to folklore, if a hedgehog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see Shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that it’s string of lackluster games will soon end. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:29 pm Comment # 1827 lol the site died on me, but I’m back, hoping to win that prize with Sonic 3. rock on Project needlemouse Posted by CartoonistDude on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:29 pm Comment # 1828 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 coughHis Worldcoughcough* Posted by SonicMaster23 on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:30 pm Comment # 1829 Hogther, you WANT to play Sonic 2006? As a Sonic fan, I can honestly say I’ve never felt the urge to play that game. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:31 pm Comment # 1830 Really looking forward to the game! Posted by Binary on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:32 pm Comment # 1831 sega I appreciate that you’re trying to hype it up but seriously, an announcement announcing an announcement? Sega you really try and make me hate you guys. Posted by I Shot Web on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:35 pm Comment # 1832 hoping to see some unique 2 player stages like in sonic 3 especially something with a reminiscence of Azure Lake.

Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:40 pm Comment # 1837 jeez. my comments haven’t been able to get through. what’s up with that, sega? anyway, i really want thursday to be worth all of this waiting. please let the bonus be a trailer, if not a screenshot. Posted by Jin on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:41 pm 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. Posted by D on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:42 pm Comment # 1839 Man……. i hope this is everything i have waited for since sonic and knuckles. SEGA is like my ultimate fandom shame haha but please don’t let me down …….again Posted by James Burt on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:42 pm Comment # 1840 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. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:43 pm Comment # 1841 man i really am happy with the way this is turning out Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:45 pm Comment # 1842 this game is going to be awesome! Posted by MAXTE on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:47 pm Comment # 1843 Man this much traffic must be unprescidented. Amazing how many people the promise of swag will get. I wonder what kind of bosses this game will have? I hope the first fight with Buttnik is as memorable as most of them have been. Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:47 pm Comment # 1844 So far so good, the music is a blessing to the ears. Posted by Paddyman on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:50 pm Comment # 1845 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 Posted by Leighton Owen on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:51 pm Comment # 1846 lol this is still going strong Hopefully we’ll get game videos soon but probably not still the hype is making the wait till thursday unbearable Good Luck making the fan base happy Sega Posted by Supersonic84 on February 2nd, 2010 at 5:52 pm Comment # 1847 Is this even possible?!!

Posted by Donnyku on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:28 pm Comment # 1861 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.

Wondering if the new title will simply be “Sonic”… Posted by curphs on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:53 pm Comment # 1882 I’m upset because they can not go so far D: Posted by Mechon12 on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:53 pm Comment # 1883 If this game sells well enough, I wonder if they’ll continue the trend and make future sequels in the same style. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:53 pm Comment # 1884 Also i wonder what type of minigame to get super sonic Posted by Zofox2 on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:53 pm Comment # 1885 Has anyone on here read the Archie Sonic comics? I wonder if they’ll have an adaption of this game. I mean, there’s not likely to be much of a story, considering that this is a classic-style game. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:54 pm Comment # 1886 i think it would be amazing if it was just called sonic 4 Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:54 pm Comment # 1887 …….i failed…. XD;; this like….really sucks for me to just NOW get home but…a little suggestion while im here… if sonic is the only character, allow mutiplayer with sonic VS lighter blue sonic(or a recolor) PLEASE I NEED TO COMPETE WITH PEOPLE(other than using just sheer time) i need that satisfaction if its not icluded ill still buy it though .__. haha…funny….already in the thousands when i get here Posted by NejiBK on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:54 pm Comment # 1888 Alright baby, the site is loading for me again and I’m ready for my Metal Sonic wall scroll. Come one! Also the jingle that plays on the home page from Needlemouse is catchy. Is that the title screen song? Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm Comment # 1889 I hope it uses blast processing Posted by Zofox2 on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm Comment # 1890 I really do love the return of old school gaming Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm Comment # 1891 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 Posted by Kiajinn on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm Comment # 1892 But seriously, I have great expectations for this game and you guys are going to have a hard time filling them. Posted by Sean on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm Comment # 1893 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. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm Comment # 1894 I hope the trailer isn’t just a teaser and that the game will feature the good ol’ SEEEEEEEGAAAAAAAAA <3 Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm Comment # 1895 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. Posted by Steve on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm Comment # 1896 man i really cant wait till thursday getting more and more excited eveytime,been looking forward to this since long ago when the small teaser first came to existence good luck sega! on another note id love to see the old SEEEEGAAAAA! saying in this new game to make it have even more of a classic feel Posted by Lyn on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:56 pm Comment # 1897 You’ve sold us on the little things, now just deliver on the big! Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:56 pm Comment # 1898 Sheesh, almost a thousand comments above the last number they originally made prize-worthy… we seem to overdo their expectations every time. Posted by Hatch on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:56 pm Comment # 1899 Will there be a 2player mode with tails? Posted by Zofox2 on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:56 pm Comment # 1900 #2: I enjoy 2D graphics in games; Sonic started in 2D, and I love that he’s finally going back to it! I have every 2D Sonic, and I intend to get this one. Posted by Steve on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:56 pm Comment # 1901 #1442 you just got me happy Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:56 pm Comment # 1902 Then again if it’s even half as good as I hope it will be an awesome game. My favorite in the series is Sonic 2. It also happens to be my favorite game of all time. Posted by Sean on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1903 Sonic 4 please? Posted by bobo on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1904 Come on, I want something so bad! Posted by Christopher Poore on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1905 Thursday is the day the PlayStation Store updates…releasing it would be a nice bonus Posted by Ron on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1906 Who else is excited to see Robotnik return with some wacky end-of-level machines? God, I’ve missed those. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1907 #3) Needlemouse will (apparently) take elements of the old and the new and put them together; the concept art looks GREAT. Posted by Steve on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1908 One of the first games that got me into game was Sonic CD! I thank you Sega Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1909 Looking good so far, cant wait for Thursday!! Posted by Thepookster on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1910 I hope this game turns out great, or else all this hype will just be painful to remember. Posted by PsychoDuck on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1911 It’d be a nice gimmick if SEGA released a novelty Genesis/Mega Drive cart of the game kinda like what Mega Man 9 did. Posted by Jono on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1912 Sega, Please return sonic (and for that matter SEGA) back up to the top. PLEASE DON’T MESS UP THIS ONE. this is my string of hope Posted by Vinnie on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1913 OMG, END OF LEVEL FLAG POSTS Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:57 pm Comment # 1914 i love sonic Posted by Mike on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1915 Just a question, but can anybody see this comment? Everyone else’s comments have displayed for me, but mine say “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1916 @RueZen: <3 Every little thing counts! Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1917 Also, if you’re not going to release it for the Wii, why not just say so? It’s not making the wait any easier. Posted by PsychoDuck on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1918 Hedgehog Day is awesome. Posted by Blueblur1 on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1919 Can’t wait for the name of Project Needlemouse! Hope the game is truly epic Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1920 Oh come on! You’ve got to be kidding me! I missed a prize by ONE POST!?! Man! sigh Well, nothing to do but keep trying. Sega how much do you listen to you fanbase when making a game I wonder? Will any of the suggestions that are mentioned here be considered to be added to Needlemouse? Is it even possible to add things in this late in development? Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1921 i miss the old smart alexy finger waving of sonic too Posted by RueZen on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1922 Well I said my two bits not sure if they got through but oh well. Anyway I love the little music clip, I think is sounds like the tital screen music for the game. but now I must replay my old sonic 3 and knuckles sound tracks again. For the umpteenth time. XD Posted by April on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1923 I can hardly wait for Thursday… I just want more info already! Posted by Hatch on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1924 I really would like a prize….and needlemouse on wii… Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1925 Wow, these have slowed down a ton. Maybe I should too. But I JUST HAVE SO MANY GOOD IDEAS! Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1926 I agree with #1442. I want to hear Seeeega! Posted by SonicDude87 on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm Comment # 1927 please put needlemouse on the Wii!!!! PLEASE I BEGGETH OF YOU!!! Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:59 pm Comment # 1928 lol right now I’m watching Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog….and I dunno why. Can’t wait for the big name! dont forget wii Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 6:59 pm Comment # 1929 I really can’t wait to see what it’s going to be called. (Sonic The Hedgehog 4 anyone?) . DO WANT THIS GAME. Posted by Matthew Waters on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:00 pm Comment # 1930 Wow so many comments and so many site crashes ^^” oh sega you really got yourself in a mess this time with your fans going all extreem fanboy/fangirl on you LOL id like to see a type of Stardust Speedway stage for this new game and have that type of fight against metal sonic again man that was one amazing stage/fight with metal sonic racing with him Posted by Lyn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:00 pm Comment # 1931 @RueZen i also missed the original sega intro i hope thats in it too Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:00 pm Comment # 1932 I hope i somehow win something….i never win anything.. usually… dont forget Wii!!! Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:01 pm Comment # 1933 I hope it will rock! Posted by Muriel on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:01 pm Comment # 1934 I’m very excited to hear the news. Happy Hedgehog Day (tomorrow’s my birthday, these next two days are going to be great ) Posted by Malevolence on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:01 pm Comment # 1935 I have a feeling that the “Sonic only” approach pretty much guarantees there will be no vs modes. Maybe we’ll get lucky with time attack leaderboards or something. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:01 pm Comment # 1936 I was mildly hyped for Sonic Unleashed but this game has managed to do what I try not to do with all games. Gotten me super hyped. Just hope it continues past Thursay with that big announcement. Posted by John Elliott on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:02 pm Comment # 1937 hey SEGA!!! I gotta tell you something….Don’t forget the Wii!!! Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:02 pm Comment # 1938 Oh my goodness. The comments are still going strong. So this is the true power of a fanbase! lol I hope he makes an oldschool noise when he jumps ^_^ Posted by Zink120 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:02 pm Comment # 1939 So is it going to be exactly like the original graphics where everything is 2D or is it going to be like 3D on a 2D plane? Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:02 pm Comment # 1940 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 Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:03 pm Comment # 1941 i cant wait….i wonder what we’ll see tomorrow… Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:03 pm Comment # 1942 I took one glance at the concept art and I………..jizzed in my pants! Posted by James Burt on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:03 pm Comment # 1943 that music……made me cry nostalgic tears of joy Posted by Tracii on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:03 pm Comment # 1944 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. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:03 pm Comment # 1945 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. I wonder if we’ll see anything similar this time around. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:03 pm Comment # 1946 So, I really don’t want to expect greatness from this game, but this blog is making me start holding out great hopes for an awesome / god-hard Sonic game. Also, will this be a remake of Sonic 2 in 2D? Posted by Eddo on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:03 pm Comment # 1947 Stuff that should happen: Seeeee-gaaaaaa jingle: Yes! Green Hill Zone music included Original main theme! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T MAKE IT FOR THE WII! 7 emeralds collectible in special stages with Super Sonic available once they’re collected. None of this “super sonic only on final boss” bullcrap Call him Robotnik Posted by Shane on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:04 pm Comment # 1948 hm….i wonder…will the graphics be 16 bit? of more 2.5D, like Sonic Rush and New Super Mario Bros..? …. Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:04 pm Comment # 1949 cool! Posted by gamelordabd on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:04 pm Comment # 1950 I can’t wait for this game! I only hope that it comes out for Wii in some way, shape, or form. I know that Wii doesn’t support real HD, but maybe SEGA can make a slightly different version like they did for Unleashed. I don’t want myself or any other Wii owner to miss out! Posted by Rick Gonzalez on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:04 pm Comment # 1951 wow that much comments Posted by Angelo on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:04 pm Comment # 1952 I can’t wait for the epicness of this game! I just hope after all this SEGA doesn’t say “Coming Winter 2010″ because I’ll be sad face…. Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:04 pm Comment # 1953 can’t wait Posted by gamelordabd on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:04 pm Comment # 1954 im really hoping that this game goes to wii aswell because the wii is well knwn for its classic and retro style games hence the Virtual console and the wiiware plus even though wii doesnt have HD look at Sonic Unleashed that game did the best on the wii which isnt even a HD or extremely graphic made system so plz release this on the wii aswell Posted by Lyn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:04 pm Comment # 1955 Oy… I hope I win Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1956 @#1465: I don’t think the purpose of this game is to do anything radical. It’s back to the roots, which is what the large majority of the fanbase want Posted by Shane on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1957 @1462: I didn’t even think about that.! That’s an absolute MUST! I don’t know what I’d do if they thought to change the classic sound effects (jump, spring, star post, ring collect, etc) Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1958 I’m wondering how Sega will possibly improve on the title. Project Needlemouse sounds awesome to me! The only thing better would be straight up “Sonic the Hedgehog 4″. Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1959 I really hope I can get something from this little event, but if i don’t that’s ok. I hope to see the return of the Hyper emeralds when you connected sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles. I loved finding those XD Oh and I hope the big rings come back to find hidden emeralds. Posted by April on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1960 I thought I won earlier, quess not… Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1961 Nickno: 16-bit just refers to how much information can be stored in the quick-access cache. It’s got more to do with loading speed than graphics. Posted by TheSoundDefense on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1962 Yo NINTENDO, new super mario bros is good and imma let yo finish, but SEGA has the best franchise of all time………..of all time!! Posted by James Burt on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1963 I can’t wait for Thursday!! Posted by Eric on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1964 if there is no version for the wii, the sales might not be very well. YA HEAR THAT SEGA!? DONT FORGET WIIIII!!!!!!!11222one Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1965 So far so good. I’m hoping we get to play Super Sonic in the normal levels rather than just the final boss. Posted by NixMaster on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1966 Im going to keep trying Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1967 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… Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:05 pm Comment # 1968 I wonder why it ddit count… Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1969 If there was another shield for Sonic I wonder what it’d be? Speed sheild that gives you boost like speed shoes? Rebound sheild that bounces enemy projectiles back at them? Some other element like Metal or Ice or something? Or will themed shields be abandoned all together? Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1970 50 get!woo needlemouse looks good guys Posted by willis88 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1971 will I ever win?….

Posted by Angelo on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1977 Oh come on! Almost! Go Metal sonic scroll! Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1978 Shane, how could it hurt you to have it for the Wii? If you don’t like the Wii, play it on another system. Should they stop making cherry yogurt if you don’t like that flavor? Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1979 ok here we go, post 1500! Posted by Shane on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1980 I wonder if there will be Monitors in the trees… I guess so. seem to be the retro trend. Posted by Kiajinn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1981 come on 1500… be mine Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1982 @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 Comment # 1983 Man, this seems like it’ll have too much of the first game and not enough of the second. …I like Sonic 2, 3 and & Knuckles more than the first. Of course, they had the spin dash. And I played ‘em more. But anyway, no wonder I couldn’t even get on the blog. Stop posting so many comments. Posted by Topmonhit on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:06 pm Comment # 1984 I hope caterkiller is in the game….they’re cool…..dont forget wii Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:07 pm Comment # 1985 I am also hoping that this game will be massive! Like when you locked on Sonic & Knuckles onto Sonic 3. So many levels, badnicks, and emeralds! Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:07 pm Comment # 1986 If I win, itw ill be so cool. Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:07 pm Comment # 1987 I could listen to the music in the flash animation all day long. LOL Niiiiice.

Posted by Shane on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:07 pm Comment # 1993 I think one of the biggest things I’m looking forward to is seeing him get impatient when he doesn’t move for a certain length of time. I hope that returns. Posted by Christopher Poore on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:07 pm Comment # 1994 fitty get Posted by willis88 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:07 pm Comment # 1995 Looking forward to it! I really haven’t enjoyed a Sonic game since the Genesis; they just didn’t have the same enjoyment for me. Looking forward to the old-style chiptunes as well! My MP3 player is filled with them!

I know the odds are stacked against anyone winning, but it’ll be nice to contribute to all those who are voicing their enthusiasm and support (though I must admit, I wouldn’t mind seeing it on Wii, being a one-console kind of guy, heh). : ) Posted by Matt R. on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:09 pm Comment # 2023 patience young ones Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:09 pm Comment # 2024 at least put tails as dlc for it lol Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:09 pm Comment # 2025 I hope this game is 2.5D instead of 2D. Although as long as its fun, I’ll be happy. Posted by Richie621 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:09 pm Comment # 2026 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. Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:09 pm Comment # 2027 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! Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:09 pm Comment # 2028 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.

Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:10 pm Comment # 2033 LOL, spamming a bit much? I think you’re supposed to make a Sonic comment when you post, not just say “hope I win.” Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:10 pm Comment # 2034 please be for wii as well. Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:10 pm Comment # 2035 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.

They’d have to give out, like, 500 prizes. Maybe tomorrow, if they do something similar, it should be on Twitter so the blogs don’t crash.

Posted by Kiajinn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:14 pm Comment # 2111 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?

Don’t care if peoples hate you because you only show the palmtree and sunflower, we still have great hope for the game. Posted by Fox Gungrave on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:15 pm Comment # 2123 If the game is gonna be 360/PS3 only, I’d like to know sooner rather than later, so I can save up some money to get my hands on one.

Posted by Kevin L on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:15 pm Comment # 2135 One of my favorite parts about Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the way that Sonic Team managed to rather simply concoct what was actually a pretty darn cool story for platformers at the time.

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.

Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm Comment # 2183 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. Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm Comment # 2184 I’m so loving the fact that Sonic is coming back Classic style! A definitive plus in having it in HD! This is one game that’ll ROCK YOUR WORLD!!! And mines also Posted by anejlek on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm Comment # 2185 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! Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm Comment # 2186 Ugh, this anticipation, SEGA!!!! Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm Comment # 2187 Speaking of Werehog Were means Man thus a Were hog is as Man Pig. Posted by Kiajinn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm Comment # 2188 Hope the game to get the emeralds is like the one in Sonic CD Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm Comment # 2189 Sega, if this is Sonic 4, I will be so happy. If not, I’ll still be happy. I’m glad it’s in 2D, your 3D games have been…sort of…lacking as of late. They are still good, just not as good as the Adventure series, or your old games. Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm Comment # 2190 I bet SEGA is enjoying this…lol. Posted by gamelordabd on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm Comment # 2191 I seriously hope that the game will be 2.5d and featrure cameos by other sonic characters. Posted by SS19 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2192 And it definitely needs a Death Egg level. And an epic final boss in space! Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2193 Wii is for people who love ALL types of games: Rpgs, Action adventure, Platformers, stategy etc. Other systems are for people who love FPS. Also at least put tails in the game like in SOnic 2. Posted by Sonic the Werehog on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2194 I tune into Sega Sonic Radio to get into the mood and what should be playing… “They Call me Sonic” Posted by John Elliott on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2195 @1618. Simpler times with simpler plots. Robotnik being the only enemy instead of SAVING THE GALAXY FROM DEMONIC EVIL INCARNATE Posted by ChaoticFox on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2196 No no no no no! I cannot believe I was so close again! Oh cruel internet, why do you scorn me so? Why can I not have the swag that will truely make me happy? Metal Sonic wall scroll, come to me! Also, if there is a debug mode, there should also be some creepy as all getout artwork like in Sonic CD. Man that one of human Sonic still gives me the jibblies.

PLEASE Posted by Kevin L on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2198 I too would enjoy Sonic 4 Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2199 1625 I’m sure they are Posted by blu on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2200 Wow, SEGA, ya runnin out of prizes yet? Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2201 Good to see Sonic go back to his roots. Keep this kind of thing coming, SEGA! Posted by Steve on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2202 Sega, if this is Sonic 4, I will be so happy. If not, I’ll still be happy. I’m glad it’s in 2D, your 3D games have been…sort of…lacking as of late. 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. Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2203 Where will this leave the human characters I wonder? I mean, Robotnik is obviously in, but what about G.U.N. and their commander? What about Professor Pickle? I won’t lie, I wouldn’t be too upset if they disappeared, but still. Someone would be. Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2204 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? Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 pm Comment # 2205 i agree..No Earth….all MOBIUS!!!! maybe some Archie stuff…lol no Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:21 pm Comment # 2206 If you could have the last boss being fought with Super Sonic, Hyper Knuckles and Turbo Tails together, I would be the happiest man in the world.

Im so excited. So far everything looks great and I’m expecting this to turn out to be a great game. Posted by maidenofchaos on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:21 pm Comment # 2212 I’m worried that by the end SEGA will have no stock left. “and to post #194005 we give you our HQ” Posted by John Elliott on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:21 pm Comment # 2213 Does anyone else have the Sonic 3 boss theme stuck in their heads as they count down the posts to the next 50? Posted by TheSoundDefense on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:21 pm Comment # 2214 So… like what are these prizes even gonna be with so many to give? Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:21 pm Comment # 2215 I would laugh if they added Ristar somewhere as DLC or a secret throwback. You know, with all this Needlemouse and concepts talk.

Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:21 pm Comment # 2220 Sega needs to realize that there are crazed SOnic fans out there aching for a memorable Sonic game like Sonic 2,3 or SA2. Please give us one!!!!

(1649) I have a feeling this is going to turn into the same thing that the Twitter challenge turned into- Random gibberings of a select few who have nothing better to do. Not that I’m complaining. I was one of those who were there til the end! I really enjoyed the challenges the past few days, and believe hat more developers/ publishers should follow SEGA’s fine example of marketing.

Sega has really outdone themselves this time. ^_^ Posted by blu on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:26 pm Comment # 2304 so close Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:26 pm Comment # 2305 Trailer please for Thursday! This hype is awesomeness. Posted by Anthony on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:26 pm Comment # 2306 I’m surprised they’re not delaying Needlemouse for 2011 to make it part of the 20th Anniversary. What better game to celebrate such a milestone? Posted by AJBSONIC on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:26 pm Comment # 2307 Sega, if this is Sonic 4, I will be so happy. If not, I’ll still be happy. I’m glad it’s in 2D, your 3D games have been…sort of…lacking as of late. 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!! It will be good, I can tell. Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:26 pm Comment # 2308 A Sonic 4 would be most awesome in continuing the story of Sonic 3. Sonic 3 had a lot going for it in scale.

Posted by ricsonic on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:27 pm Comment # 2326 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. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:27 pm Comment # 2327 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! Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:27 pm Comment # 2328 So far, so good. Just continue shooting in the direction you’re aiming in, SEGA. Keep sight of the classic days.

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.

Posted by John Elliott on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:28 pm Comment # 2348 Ya know, I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be called Sonic 4. Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:28 pm Comment # 2349 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! Posted by Metal on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:28 pm Comment # 2350 Have fun with Project Needlemouse!

Posted by SupeSonicBoom on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:29 pm Comment # 2358 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.

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.

Posted by MARU on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:33 pm Comment # 2430 if this succeeds sega maybe you should think about a true sonic adventure 3 for those fans who are waiting for it just like fans have been waiting for this if it comes down to it you could always work with nintendo for SA 3 just like you have for the Olympic games and do a teams effort to make a true SA 3 and a true 3d sonic game that people will actually look up and give a thumbs up instead of the usual past events lately but this is just an opinion thats all as you and nintendo have worked together before and seem to do well together in my opinion that is Posted by Lyn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:33 pm Comment # 2431 Has anyone noticed how mario is addicted to mushroom and sonic is addicted to speed……… explains my weird childhood.

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!!! Posted by Sonic the Werehog on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:34 pm Comment # 2444 Oh boy, this is gonna be epic! squee Posted by SilvaRymes on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:34 pm Comment # 2445 I’m seriously looking forward to when Project Needlemouse reveals more info on Thursday. I’ve been playing the classic Sonic games for a long time, so Project Needlemouse sounds like a real treat. Posted by blueluigi on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:34 pm Comment # 2446 lets all sing together! 1, 2, 1 2 ready and.. SEGA! Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:34 pm Comment # 2447 Yeah so close here. XD Posted by Terra on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:34 pm Comment # 2448 I liked Sonic’s elemental shields in Sonic 3/Sonic & Knuckles… I really hope we get some cool things like that to add to Sonic’s regular moves! Posted by Steve on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:34 pm Comment # 2449 I don’t care if the Wii version has to be a Disc based game for us Wii owners or cut down into shorter episodes as long as us Wii owners can enjoy this game too.But it has to have a Wii version even if it is ported sega. Posted by KnucklesFan26 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:34 pm Comment # 2450 1774 heck yeah!! ^^ Posted by blu on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:35 pm Comment # 2451 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. Posted by TheSoundDefense on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:35 pm Comment # 2452 @ Comment #1758 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 Comment # 2453 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 Posted by John Elliott on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:35 pm Comment # 2454 I appreciate all of the newer Sonic games quite a bit, but I’m very glad Sega has decided to adopt a different style for this one. Variety is nice. Posted by Frack on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:35 pm Comment # 2455 wow mas de 1700 replicas, me encanta a sonic!!!

The 5-second sample on the front page or whatever is catchy! Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:35 pm Comment # 2460 I know I can get it!

I Love that music and it is sooo much better than the new sounds. Its such a catch jingle and i catch myself singing it a lot.

Posted by MARU on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:36 pm Comment # 2483 I feel it’d be a bit odd if I have to refer to this as Sonic 4, to me it just doesn’t have the same ring to it as Sonic 1, 2 or 3; but I’m sure it’d grow on me. Posted by Jono on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:36 pm Comment # 2484 Ahhh, this is the fourth time I’ve had a comment number in –99 or –01. bummer. Anyway, still super-pumped for this game.

Posted by Fox Gungrave on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:36 pm Comment # 2486 Hehe with so many posts I wonder were the cut off point well be and if they well rearange things for those posts that don’t say anything about the game. I’m ruining out of awesome things to say. But If the games have cool bosses and music and play like its suppose to I’ll be happy. Posted by April on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:36 pm Comment # 2487 If the Game starts up with the classic synthasised SEGA I think we can all call this game a “Win”.

I will stop posting now. Posted by Sonic the Werehog on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:37 pm Comment # 2513 sega id love ot see the game have a sound test in the options menu like sonic 2 did gives the game more feeling for me as i just love sonic series music so much and if it does have the sound test you really should have the classic play certain songs in certain order to unlock level select that was always fun to do =D Posted by Lyn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:37 pm Comment # 2514 Aww… just a couple off again… Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:37 pm Comment # 2515 Will other characters make cameos?

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.

Posted by ricsonic on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:40 pm Comment # 2550 The concept art suggests that this game will have a mostly 2D feel to it, but I’m curious to find out how detailed the graphics are.

Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2561 @1808 BRILLIANT, I think a prequal would be a great move. Posted by John Elliott on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2562 god damn people post fast… Posted by galaxyman on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2563 It would be nice if Tails and Knuckles were playable… but I’m glad to see a classically styled Sonic game once again. Posted by sonicfan88 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2564 ooh, bribery! SEGA! Ill give you a cookie for a prize!!! Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2565 I takes more than just speed, it takes skill, control, power, and the free will to go anywhere. This here defines Sonic. Posted by Angelo on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2566 OH NOES! BANDIKS! Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2567 i just have to belive that ill make it also hope it has hyper sonic. Posted by danny on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2568 I can only guess why the name of the game will be released on the fourth… Posted by MysteriousStranger on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2569 Another thing this game needs: cheats! Like the classic up, down, left, right. Those were just extra fun. Posted by Blue Blur on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2570 I’m hoping to see Metal Sonic again. He hasn’t been in an actual game since, when? Sonic Heroes? Posted by Mr. Smith on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2571 @1830 Yeah i iwht Tails/Knux were playable too. That’d be a pretty awesome game then. Posted by Cruizer on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2572 I hope the level designs in this game are actually quite similar to the original level concept art from Sonic 1, I always thought that if they remade them to how they really pictured them would be awesome. Posted by Jono on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2573 So I guess SEGA will be giving out, like, 40 or so prizes… and counting. Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2574 It would be fun to see a lot of stages from the original Sonic games. It would be REALLY cool if there was a stage from EVERY Sonic game, but I understand that could take a really long time to make… Posted by Frack on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2575 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” Why not just have an original name? Posted by GF on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2576 wow. im soooo looking forward to this game i think its going to be great! dont prove me wrong SEGA! Posted by xxsharoxx on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 pm Comment # 2577 Knuckles would be so bad arse in HD… just sayin’ Posted by galaxyman on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2578 i have to look at what i write before i post. Posted by danny on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2579 I hope some more badniks get in! Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2580 So… I really hope there are special stages. I’d kill for special stages. Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2581 This my friends, is win. Posted by gamelordabd on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2582 I wonder how Eggman will looks like: old clothes, his actual look or a new one. Posted by Fox Gungrave on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2583 almost there. Posted by danny on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2584 I cant wait much longer it looks like its gong to be a good one! Cant wait! Posted by dexter120395 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2585 Yes it does define sonic. XD Posted by Terra on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2586 I really can’t wait to see more from this project Posted by Ony on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2587 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! Posted by Mitchell on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2588 How about Silver as DLC? LOL Posted by sonicfan88 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2589 If i was Sega, i would PUT IT ON THE WII!!! for all of us WII owners.. Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2590 I’m running out of ideas for comments that sound like they involve the game so I can hit 50…..um……alright well The flower concept art is going to be amazing to look at in HD! Posted by Anthony on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2591 SUPER SONIC PLEASE Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2592 @1826 awesome to here, man Awesome to hear I am quite excited my self, and this is coming from a fan of 3D games. I’ve played the classics, but have never been this excited for one as I am now. So Hyped!! Posted by blu on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2593 come on Posted by danny on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2594 Cool brah Posted by gamelordabd on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2595 Go SEGA~ You can do it! Posted by Hiro on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2596 This game must not fail and at this point it can’t. Posted by John Elliott on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:42 pm Comment # 2597 Ps Good luck Posted by dexter120395 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2598 what does it take to win a prize, sega? just wondering Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2599 hey! i made it back on! skimming the comments, it becomes apparent that: SEGA WERE COUNTING ON YOU. DON’T FEK THIS UP. Posted by balding spikes on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2600 And I was so sure this was a Sonic 1 remake too… clearly I was mistaken. Posted by Mr. Smith on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2601 que la gente siga intentando atinar un numero divisible entre 50, significa que sonic sigue conservando muchos fans!! Segaaaa!!!!!!!!! Posted by juan vilalvazo on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2602 Project Needlemouse will be awesome! Posted by Mitchell on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2603 If this is truely sonic 4……… I expect a whole lot of bonus content on the disc……. it’s been soooooooo long. Then i expect Sonic 5 the year after…. it’s a winning formula seriously look at this place Posted by James Burt on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2604 wow this just shows how big the fan base is! Posted by galaxyman on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2605 I reeeeeeally wanna see some more concept art or a level design. that would just make my day! I dont think i cant wait til thursday to find out the name… though knowing me I’ll still call it needlemouse.. Posted by xxsharoxx on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2606 noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!so close! Posted by danny on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2607 I tried playing Sonic CD the other day and my laptop didn’t so I was a sad face…. I hope Project Needlemouse is good! Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2608 Very cool I’m hoping for the original Robotnik style and no humans, the animals in the badniks are the inhabitants of sonics world and Johnny Lightfoot all the way (:p yeah as if) xxx Posted by Stel on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2609 When you in Sonic’s place, the only thing you see is blur everywhere! Posted by Angelo on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2610 The prize is Dr. Robotnik’s mean bean machine XD Posted by Terra on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 pm Comment # 2611 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. Posted by /v/illager on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2612 Epic Win. Posted by gamelordabd on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2613 you guys are a company i grew up with and loved im now 20 yrs old and still love sonic like i did as a kid growing up even decided to collect the series now. i would really like ot see a type of Sky Sanctuary Zone in this game as that zone was jsut so much fun in sonic 3 and the boss battle blew my mind away with the hyper/super mecha/metal sonic i was just like wow this is amazing! really surprized me there sega ^^” Posted by Lyn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2614 sigh….im gonna get me a snack….so much work trying to win a prize….. Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2615 Interesting #1836 is bargain Sonic Stuff for cockies,if Sega Acept, I on it!!

Posted by Kiajinn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2619 I’d really like one of those wall scrolls. XD I can’t really come up with much more to say though. Posted by ShadowVelocity on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2620 Im so totally excited for this game. love the art and music so far! Posted by xxsharoxx on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2621 @1855 I’d really hope of a Wiiware title of this Posted by Cruizer on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2622 keep the 2D games comin SEGA Needlemouse is the beginning of a win! Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2623 1858 didn’t they say it would be a download. Posted by danny on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2624 The best part about this game will be that being classic style, there shouldn’t be any blood and Rouge won’t be in it. Posted by Lewanut on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2625 I….I did it. I have done the 50th…post… Thank You God !!!! Wooot!!!!!!! and Thank you Sega for doing this ^_^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCEjoDmKGds&feature=PlayList&p=97840CF004517D73&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=9 Posted by blu on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2626 Man, this is tough. I’m goin to get a Diet Pepsi. Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 pm Comment # 2627 So, I guess Sonic saw his shadow, eh? Posted by Aquarius on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2628 Also I wanna know the systems. If its for the wii, then hail to the mother Posted by Dravidian on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2629 Gotta go fast! Posted by Kiajinn on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2630 the comments are going fast as sonic is! Posted by Angelo on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2631 ugh…i dont know if i should leave….i might win….Sega is just soo generous…. i LOVE YOU!!! Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2632 I want me a prize! Posted by KirbyLinkFan on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2633 i mean wow even i am impressed! Posted by galaxyman on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2634 Wow.. look at all the comments…. I think I’ll add more to that and just keep on saying how great SOnic is.. cuz its true. Posted by xxsharoxx on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2635 i really want hyper sonic in it that would be awesome. Posted by danny on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2636 @danny I find it unlikely that Hyper Sonic will make an appearance. Super, now that’s another matter. He should be in it, or SEGA are leaving out a major part of what made the old games great. Come to think of it, I’ve been playing those old games recently- I just beat Sonic 2 will all the emeralds AND 15 lives left! NO continues!! Frankly, I’m surprised I made it ^^; Posted by ProfessorZolo on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2637 @ 1868 Well, then contrats blu. jealous Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2638 We all could use a ‘high speed shoes’ power up right about now… Posted by gamelordabd on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2639 What time will results be posted? Posted by Dravidian on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2640 “This game must not fail and at this point it can’t.” You don’t want to make statements like that, brah. Just saying. Posted by TheSoundDefense on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm Comment # 2641 @1880 So far it seems its 360/PS3 exclusive Posted by Cruizer on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2642 I know the Wii isn’t an HD console, but please remember us anyway. Sega has put more effort into its Wii games than most other third-party developers, no reason to quit now. And it IS still the most popular console. Posted by sonicfan88 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2643 Yea for Sonic and SEGA! keep up the good work! Posted by xxsharoxx on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2644 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. Posted by Frack on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2645 Needlemouse FTW!! Posted by ProfessorZolo on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2646 @Angelo Ha! Nice! Posted by galaxyman on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2647 Anyways, the concepts for this game look grand, and the music also has a Genesis-like vibe to it. I am certaintly hopeful for this game. Posted by MysteriousStranger on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2648 Trying for a win here! Posted by Anonymous Poster on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2649 Oh and Sega like I said I love the concept art above but if the 2D levels in Project Needlemouse look anything like below with that level of HD detail, I will left speechless. http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/video_game_remakes_17.jpg Posted by sonicfan82 on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2650 S-E-G-A whats that spell? GIMME A PRIZE! thank you Posted by Nickno on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2651 I can’t wait for this game, I’m gonna bring back all the enthusiasm I had for Sonic Unleashed! Posted by Kevin Jr. on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2652 Super Sonic IN THE STAGES would be a plus, SEGA. I’m really hopin for that. Posted by sapphire on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2653 Project Needlemouse will be the win of the year or decade or century! Posted by BinaryP0wnage on February 2nd, 2010 at 7:46 pm Comment # 2654 I can’t believe how hard some people are trying to get a prize post whilst somehow completely ignoring the fact th
