Oh, Sega. Have you finally gotten your act together?

I hope so, but I’m not sure–you’ve burned me so many times before.

Sega has announced an all-new, “built from the ground up” 2D Sonic the Hedgehog game.

Coming by way of GameSpot, not a whole lot has been revealed about the game. On the link is an exclusive Gamespot trailer. Watch it if you want–it’s not much. Just a blue blur and some ACTIONTEXTOMG.

The story so far:

  • The game’s working title: “Project Needlemouse”.
  • 2D engine, built from the ground up.
  • HD Graphics.
  • Releasing sometime in 2010.
  • No platforms announced yet.

Oh, yeah. Handhelds. What’s this baloney about taking Sonic back to his 2D roots?

They’ve been trying to do that for years on the Gameboy Advance/Nintendo DS, and they haven’t had much luck.

Sega, here’s a protip: if you have to include multiple characters, just include Tails and Knuckles. That’s it. No others. I mean it! I see Amy Rose, and there will be hell to pay.
