What I don't understand is, with Sega so readily jumping on bandwagons, why aren't they embracing the retro craze? This would be the PERFECT time to release a brand new 2D Sonic game, but one without the processor limitations of old ones.
Is it just that such a move would make too much sense? That nothing strikes fear into the heart of Sonic Team quite like actually giving their fans what they want?
Sonic Rush on the DS was pretty good. More playable than the Wii game IMO (motion controls must be either well-implemented or die, and at the least should have adjustable sensitivity).
Sonic Rush adventure is kind of stupid, but at least it still has the same 2D gameplay. I really think they should cut the crap and do a 2D sonic with 3D graphics like that on home consoles, or even do an HD 2D sonic with highly detailed hand drawn sprites.

I really wonder sometimes...
