Looks great and a true homage to the original Sonic games on Mega Drive / Genesis.

Nice. Now all they have to do is also Sonic Adventure 3 properly and they are set back in the right path.

The two SA games weren't really even that good, plus they've not aged well so don't expect it to happen. If you really want SA3 then the closest you'll have is Sonic 2006.

This trailer was very self aware:
They literally said We want to get back and see what made sonic a gaming icon so we went BACK

They finally understand sonic boom is not the way, I think

laugh at you for favoring shitty touch controls over a superior gamepad? yes...yes i will
I never said that I like touch controls more. I judt don't ride with the "TOUCH CONTROLS SUCK AMIRITE GUYS" people. Oh and most of the ports have gamepad support, so you have no point to laugh at me

He probably needs to feel superior over people so he argues with others over nothing. I have seen really good touch control ports and games. I don't even know what the hell he is talking about.

This looks good. As someone who grew up with the classic Sonic games (through Sonic Mega Collection), I'm pretty excited to see SEGA doing Retro Sonic right, after the mishap with Sonic 4. The new zones look pretty cool, and the graphics look gorgeous, like an updated classic Sonic title for the Sega 32X or something. Also, classic character designs, can't go wrong there.
