Sega x Sonic, Project Needlemouse 2010
9-9-99. A day that lives in infamy with all Sega and Sonic fans, as it marked the release of not only the last Sega platform but also the last great Sonic title — Sonic Adventure. After the two Adventure titles on the Dreamcast, we would subsequently be forced to forfeit our Sonic nostalgia for distrust, as we patiently waited for then played, Sonic The Hedgehog ’06. (Oh, the load times!) However, Unleashed showed some promising game play during the daytime elements and the 2-D aspects in particular. But lack on the werehog levels and bland adventuring, it just was not the Sonic game that fans were hoping for. Sega must of finally got the message, they are now working on another 2-D Sonic game in HD that promises to bring back the speed of the blue blur we all love so much! But with so many years of empty promises to bring Sonic back to form, will Sega really deliver the Sonic to end all Sonics?
Dubbed “Project Needlemouse”, Sega released a teaser trailer complete with the vintage “SEGA” voice ala the Genesis. If that’s not a sign of going back to their roots then I don’t know what is! The project is slated to debut on no particular console, but I can only assume from the HD element that the 360 and PS3 will be the platforms that herald Sonics triumphant return. A non-Sega related teaser site has surfaced, providing glimpses of what to expect from the level design of Needlemouse. One can only hope that this Sonic game will truly bring back the Sonic of yesteryear and make us all forget about Sonic Heroes.
also fyi: projectneedlemouse.com is a hoax site, and not affiliated with SEGA Corporation.
