THE EXCITEMENT IS LITERALLY KILLING US
This ludicrous internet reveal about who’s NOT going to be in “Project Needlemouse” is quite possibly the most tedious thing SEGA’s done, at least since someone at Sonic Team watched “Pulp Fiction” for the 20th time and decided it would be cool to do a game about a black hedgehog who runs around with a gun.
Just say who it is, then we’ll pretend to be excited, then you send us the game, then we’ll pretend it’s good. The same old MERRY-GO-ROUND OF FALSE PRETENCE.

Who did the design for that Sega blog? It’s fucking horrible, there’s Times New Roman all over the right column, there’s no left padding on the main content and the transparent gifs have white borders.

This is the best game EVER!!!
I haven’t seen it yet but I have seen Sony forum posts on Game Trailers/Kotaku before to know how it works.

I’m guessing they all end up rejected apart from Sonic. They will then exclaim how this is a true Sonic game with just Sonic and no gimmicks.
But knowing our luck, Mr Needlemouse will be like a Mr Hyde transformation for Sonic who can’t run or turn into a ball. His portion makes up 65% of the game.
I feel like I have already wasted too much time thinking about it.

Woop a new 2Dish Sonic? :O Can’t wait.
Although this is Sega we’re talking about so there’s gotta be a catch. And to me… that looks a little too much like a silhoette of Amy. My money’s on this being Sonic for girls. :P

I’d always assumed (after minimal reading) that project needlemouse was a fan-made thing rather than offical sega thing and was thus assuming no official licensed characters would appear for fear of being set upon by copyright lawyers, hence the creation of this needlemouse character, in the hope that that’ll mean everything else can be ripped off wholesale from Sonic 1 + 2 without fear of being sued.
Why on earth would have I got this impression if this is not the case and it’s actually an official sega product continuing the Sonic series? Would it be anything to do with the amateurish feel to the whole way the thing’s being marketed or is it something else? I honestly don’t know whether I should be excited by this or not.
Tell me what to think Zorg!
On a different note, is the excitement literally killing us? Should a doctor be called? Or the police? I’ve literally lost track of the amount of times I’ve heard the word “literally”, literally being overused pretty much literally 24/7.
It’s been (my) kids and tv I’ve seen it on most but wasn’t expecting it here. It’s literally this kind of misuse of english that makes my goat boil.

The “good” “news” is that this game will feature Sonic on his / its own. Which you’ve probably already read elsewhere on the internet, but I posted it here in order to be liked, and for the attention.
