Finally the Sonic game we have been waiting for?

Sega have just announced that they are at last developing a Sonic game which will go back to the series 2D roots.

After years of fans complaining about Sonic’s pretty dire 3D adventures, it seems as though Sega have finally listened.

The game, currently known as Project Needlemouse, will be built entirely from the ground up and be in HD which suggests to me at least that it will be hosted on 360 or PS3 and possibly even be a download release on XBLA and PSN.

Just in case you don't get the reference, the very first Sonic the Hedgehog game was initially codenamed "Mr Needlemouse" whilst in development. No other details are known at this point so for now just enjoy the teaser trailer and dream!
