Project Needlemouse (Named after the Blue Hedgehog's Original Name:"Mr. Needlemouse")is a code name for a platform video game in development as part of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is targeted for release in 2010. The game was first announced through GameSpot by Sega of America on September 8, 2009, the eve of the tenth anniversary of the launch of Sega's Dreamcast video game console and the release of its launch game, Sonic Adventure in North America.[1]
The game will be a two-dimensional side-scrolling platformer reminiscent of the original Sonic games, with an emphasis on speed. It will be playable in high definition.[2]
In an interview with Digitalgames.fr, Sega France spokesperson Franck Sebastien hinted that Project Needlemouse may be targeted for the Xbox Live and PlayStation Network platforms(Possibly as a Downloadable only Title). And he also said...
I think that Sega wanted to settle demands, because there’s a lot a nostalgic gamers out there, and on XBOX Live or PlayStation Network…you have a lot of hardcore gamers. And the old versions of Sonic games are selling very well on these platforms, so there’s a real market for these kinds of products. […] The idea really is to finally please all these hardcore gamers, because we love them at Sega.
