Sega have today shed some light on their latest creation codenamed Project Needlemouse which is a 2D Sonic game set for release next year. Not much was revealed in the short presentational video shown, Sega does however mention that "speed returns" and that it was "built from the ground up".
When asked why Sega decided to return to their roots, they stated that it is simply something fans have been asking for and that they want to deliver. The final hint extracted from Sega was that the game will feature HD graphics not chunky sprites from last decade.
Who knows what console this title will appear on, we can only hope it's for WiiWare, Project Needlemouse will arrive sometime in 2010 so stay tuned.

This has to be a lie. Sega doesnt listen to fans.

Haha, good one Lucario. Sega have dropped the HD bomb. Wii will get something compromised, if anything.

Since the Wii can only support up to 480p/480i, we won't see the game in HD. Considering the game is supposedly going back to it's roots with 2D gameplay, perhaps WiiWare might see a release, if it were scaled down to 480p. It won't be HD, but like Bhaskar24 mentioned, it'll be a compromise.
Interestingly enough, the Wii emulator can supposedly output 720p.
lol the SDLC. In time, we'll see if the current model needs to be modified.

I have always been really bad at those 2d sonic games

personally I think another 2D one is a good idea, cause getting" back to the roots" may actually bring some old fans who don't like the new ones back to the series, I like some new ones, but msot are boring money grabbers. Just what I think.

You can do some sexy things on the PS3/360 if you restrict yourself to 2D.

We've heard it before. I won't get excited, I'll just be cautious(ly excited)

If this game is any good then I'll do something publicly embarrassing on this forum.
