Slim Majority, Still a Lot of Uncertainty
The results of the latest TSSZ News @Issue poll show that a majority of respondents believe Sega knew what it was doing when it released the trailer to Project Needlemouse, but the majority was razor thin.
Out of 501 respondents, 36% don’t think the trailer was rushed. But 34% did. Only 8 people separated the yes-men from the nay-sayers.
16% of respondents answered “Maybe,” while 14% answered “Unsure,” an unusually high number for polls of this nature.
A new poll is now available for you to vote on. And be sure to check TSSZ News as development on Project Needlemouse, the next major Sonic project, rolls on.













For the new poll I want to put down help, but if the only reason for the missions are to unlock new characters then it would hurt the game, so I have to say unsure. It just depends on how the missions are handled. I still haven’t bothered unlocking all the characters in Super Stars Tennis. So whatever they do, it better hold our interest.
If it wasn’t announced when it was it would’ve come after the other retro revival reveals. meaning everyone would be saying “oh look, sonic’s trailing behind the bandwagon again…”
also we might’ve lost more of the fanbase if they waited too long after the latest mauling from the chip-shouldered press.
so perhaps it was rushed, but it was necessary.
But then, they are a giant international corperation, who are we to question?
That being said, we need some screens, details, ANYTHING, to quell some hype (or shut up whiners) or else people will either get over-exited or simply lose interest.
They can’t realy afford to screw this up so they might be taking their time to get it right, but we have no idea.
also, there should realy be a “who cares” option in the new poll, srsly just let sumo digital do their DAMN fourth chaos emerald, I mean job.
I said help in protest.
now I regret it
…I actually voted yes. I would have waited until either late November or ealry December to anounce anything.
…but then again, it is 2D…
…but then AGAIN, its in HD…
….ugh, my brain hurts.
@ DWalrus:
Gradius, Contra, Mario, Megaman, and I think even Bonk, had revials out or announced already. Sonic’s already too slow. Bonk may have been confirmed after Needlemouse though, I know Castlvania was though, so Sonic is only faster than Belmont.
All of the classic platformer comebacks we know of so far:
Sonic (Project Needlemouse)
Mario (NSMBWii)
Megaman (MM9, already out)
Rayman (Claimed new game being worked on after Rabbids Go Home)
Klonoa (Klonoa Wii, already out)
Sparkster (RocketKnight)
Earthworm Jim (EJHDRemake)
Castlevania (CastlevaniaHD)
Shantae (SH2: Risky’s Revenge)
Bonk (IDK what the name of that one is)
Toki (TokiHD)
Either way, the end of this decade / the beginning of the next decade seems to be the return of platformers.
Oh yeah, and “A Boy and His Blob”. Nearly forgot that completely.
Its ok There are alot of great games on the way, to hold us over till PN comes to US shores

Nah, SEGA… they just… I don’t care! They do what ever they want!
I don’t care if Sega rushed it or not…
They just annouced the game is coming.
Why is it such a big deal?
It’s just a teaser trailer. It’s not supposed to be a “OMG!! LOOK WHAT IS IN THE GAME!!”
Teaser trailers are supposed to be short, “cheap” and such. They aren’t supposed to be actual trailers of the game.
The trailer is just a “Hey guys!! New Sonic game is coming!! it’s gonna have things things but we will not tell you exactly!! Just these hints and that’s it!! haha!! tease tease!! haha we’re evil!! just chill!”
That’s it. :/
I don’t get why people are complaining that it’s rushed…
They should worry more about the game and not the trailers.
I’m just not looking forward to the 2D thing…if it is 2.5 like Unleashed, then I’m fine with that… but back to pixels and 16bit graphics, then total let down for me…
Also…if they don’t add the Archie characters, then I’m happy.
I don’t mind Sonic being the only character that is playable but I would like to see other characters as well.
We’ll just have to wait and see until info finally surfaces on this.
Just thought I’d let you know 36% is not a majority.
