True story. I got beat up like 5 times in high school because I said that I thought Tails was way cooler than Sonic. He was, ok... he has two tails and he can fly. The rest of the Sonic crew is a bunch of pansies though. Even Knuckles. Fine I'm lying! Sonic didn't even come out until I was in college. So HA! But I do love to relive those old 16-bit sonic days, and now it looks like it might happen!


Available exclusively via download, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I (previously known as Project Needlemouse) will bring back the addictive side scrolling action that Sonic fans love in an all-new 2D adventure.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I, the first Sonic game developed exclusively for download, brings back the adventure that Sonic fans have been waiting 16 years for. It will offer the classic Sonic moves that fans love including Spin Dash and Rolling Attack and will also feature Homing Attack, all in beautiful CG rendered environments. Packed with special stages, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I will take players through a variety of different Zones, inspired by the Genesis-era style. Longtime fans will not be disappointed as they face some intense boss battles against everyone’s favorite villain – the always devious and evil – Dr.Eggman.
