As a spin off series, that would work. Although reverting Sonic back to the old ways would be making many of the same mistakes as Nintendo has with Mario.super said:Lets face it, the steps forward are not doing the blue blur any favors, so a new genisis style sonic game would be perfect.
One of the reasons that I like Sonic games so much is because you don't ever know what to expect in the next release. The game play mechanics as well as the level design changes, and occasionally an interesting new character is introduced into the series. Sometimes that's a bad thing, yes, but it's always refreshing. If Sonic just kept running around in circles with the same old thing that used to be new and interesting, I would have lost interest in his games altogether a long time ago. There is a point when a series should move on and try something different, even if it has to fall a few times before succeeding.
Take a look at Mario. His latest adventure is at heart, still the same mission-based crap that lost its novelty after the N64 era. Nintendo needs to change Mario's direction a little further before can I regain any interest at all in his games. I'm tired of running around aimlessly in rather puny stages, hunting for totally useless coins.
