After a little bit of teasing, SEGA has finally pulled back the curtain on their Project Needlemouse videogame. This morning on Gamespot, it was revealed that the game will be (to the surprise of a few) Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Episode 1, a brand-new 2D-style game with 3D visuals. It’ll be similar in nature to the original three games from the early 1990s, and it will be a downloaded game, along with its subsequent episodes. Let’s just hope it’s not as slow as Half-Life episodes. Online leaderboards will be placed for fastest times, and motion control will be included for the Wii and PS3 versions. The game lands on all the major video game consoles’ online marketplaces this summer. The accompanied trailer can be viewed here.
