It wasn’t too long ago that I whined that these days, old-school de-makes of games are better than the new-school re-makes they’re meant to promote. It’s not really a problem, since these old-style games are fun as hell, but it’s kind of embarrassing for the industry. As far as I’m concerned, the more retro throwbacks the better. That’s why I was pumped to hear that they’re doing a Sonic the Hedgehog 4, totally in the old style.


There was a video a little while back, but it didn’t show much. This one is much more revealing. There’s more info over at 1up.
