Sonic the Hedgehog 4

The rumored Project Needlemouse turned out to be Sonic 4! I'm very excited to hear about this.

Here's the story.

The game follows the adventure of the series' main protagonist, Sonic the Hedgehog, taking place after Sonic & Knuckles. With the Death Egg destroyed and Angel Island returned to the sky, Sonic takes a break and explores new territories by himself. However unknowingly his nemesis Dr. Eggman had also survived their last encounter and is preparing a new trap to get rid of Sonic.


The game will be a two-dimensional side-scrolling platformer reminiscent of the original Sonic games with an emphasis on speed. Players will control only Sonic the Hedgehog, using control mechanics such as the original spin dash and power-ups including Speed Shoes, alongside moves such as the homing attack seen in the 3D entries in the series. Players will be able to use the online leaderboards to compare their fastest times

Here's the trailer



The game is slated to be a downloadable game for WiiWare, Xbox Live, and Playstation Network.

It's looks good judging by the two seconds of footage. What really grinds my gears is that people are complaining about the design of Sonic not being the original, but the new. Plus, the running animation is being ripped on and comments that it's a HD version of Sonic Advance. This just pisses me off to no end. Nobody can be happy with what they got. They're not true Sonic fans, they're just a bunch of no-good biased retards who don't know what they want.

But, to those who are actually smart, thank you! Anyway, I am anticipating the game and will totally download it for my Wii. Hopefully, we'll learn more as time goes by.

That is all.
