"...What?"
HEY GUYS REMEMBER THERE WAS A 3DS VERSION
http://www.sonicstadium.org/2011/11/apotos-confirmed-for-sonic-generations-3ds/
So, with this last bit of info, this means...
-Not a SINGLE HANDHELD ENTRY not a port or a handheld version of another game was represented.
-All zones but ONE (Casino Night) are first zones in their games.
No idea what they're thinking.
I agree that this kinda sucks. Although DIMPS have always seemed to put at least a nominal amount of effort into their Sonic-related work, this title seems to be different, what with the very narrow level tropes and recycling of layouts. I'm sure that after pumping out Sonic handheld titles for years they've had to have lost some of the passion and/or ingenuity that originally went with the work.
Why did they not just choose Water Palace? It's basically the same thing as Apotos and would've allowed them to reuse more 2D level layouts.
