B-but, they're promising a fresh canvas! With no gimmick necessary! ;__;

They say they are reinventing/fixing Sonic every time they make a new game.

excerpt- Takashi Iizuka on Appealing to Mario Fans
"From a general game design perspective, in recent years we've been able to introduce Sonic to new fans, a lot of the Nintendo/Mario fans, and because of that, we've made changes to the design, and we've designed things in Sonic Colours that we think will really appeal to people who are unfamiliar with the Sonic brand and the Sonic gameplay. So from that perspective we hope that fans of Mario will really be able to enjoy playing as Sonic in Sonic Colours."

"We're taking this franchise that was designed to be the antithesis of Mario and changing it to appeal more to Mario fans."

Not surprising given SMG was hailed as being practically perfect and sold over 7 million copies. I don't even like Mario games that much, but I loved it!

The first reviews are starting to come and they're all generally very positive. Been seeing scores of over 80%.

I'm never that fussed over review scores but it is pleasing to see after Sonic being bashed these past few years.

Oh dear, Sega is really digging a bigger grave for poor Sonic
