I bought this yesterday.  Haven't had more than 5 mins to play it though.  Even the Wii version has DC and achievements, which I think is pretty cool.

Even if I never get to play it, I think it is so awesome that they have gone back to their roots and would love to see more 8-bit 16-bit releases to follow.

Just imagine how much more popular Sonic would still be if Sega had taken this path.

I personally would like to see a good follow-up to X4 done in X4's style. Hand-drawn animation in the cut-scenes, techno-rock soundtrack, same sprites and visual style. X5 never really clicked with me, though I loved X6. X7-8 made me lose interest.

I'm not sure about that.

Looking back at it now it might seem "obvious" how sticking with sprites & 2D graphics would do Sonic/Sega well, and maybe still even making consoles.
Yet you shouldn't forget that the average gamers always wants the best & the prettiest graphics; so if Sega's competition moved to 3D after the 16-bit era, I don't think they'd keep their popularity if they'd simply stayed in the 16-bit era. Back then gamers didn't knew that 3D Sonic games would be so bad so they wouldn't look at it like you do now Smiley

I finished it, having saved my damage reducer and M-Tank for the Wily battle. Guess I'll start on my clear save now. ^_^

Which ones in particular? You better not say Shadow the Hedgehog or that Sonic the Hedgehog game for PS360.

There's actually a project being worked on by some Sonic fans that aims to remix Sonic 2 in HD. They recently released a tech demo:
http://forums.sonicretro....index.php?showtopic=12056

It's in a very early stage and requires a beefy computer to run it (they recommend 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 512 MB graphics RAM), but for later releases these requirements will be lowered and resolutions other than 1280x960 will be supported. I love what I've seen out of this team so far and I can't wait to see how the final product turns out.

Has anybody else been following the press kit information over at Capcom Unity? I seriously want to win that bundle they announced recently...

I wanted to download it because my PC is more than ready for it but it says "32 bit Vista" only. Sad

I DL'd the demo and tried it out. They did a good job. I had to stop playing it, though, because I knew I'd get addicted to it. Grin

I also didn't DL the full game because I agree with the earlier post that it seems to rely a lot on memorization. I might do so at a later date, but for now I have too much of a backlog of games to play. Undecided

The current system specs to Sonic 2 HD seem really steep, but the sprites look wonderful.
