The Sonic cycle can never be fix'd. If SEGA needs the Nintendo staff to make a Sonic game then this shows how freaking clueless they are to please their fanboys.
Also that SEGA going out business in 2013.
That new Sonic Generations is pretty awesome. What they did was took all the good stuff people never complained about in Sonic games and put it into one game though. Unless you of course don't like it, but a lot of people do. Play the demo if you haven't played it yet, pretty fun.
