I was just thinking - Mario games come nearly every month or two now, but a new Sonic games aren't as frequent...


In the last six years we've only really had a handful of "New" Sonic games:
  • Sonic Adventure (DC / GameCube)
  • Sonic Adventure II (DC / GameCube)
  • Sonic Heroes (GameCube / PS2 / Xbox)
  • Sonic Advance (GBA)
  • Sonic Advance II (GBA)
  • Sonic Advance III (GBA)
  • Sonic Battle (GBA)
  • Sonic N (Ngage)
  • Sonic Shuffle (DC)


any others tend to be re-releases of old games from previous consoles... In fact, three of the four Sonic games on the GameCube have been re-releases!


So what's Sonic Team and Sega up to? Are they making a new Sonic game / games?


If they are, then what would the next Sonic game most likely be? (Not including any re-release compilation disc)
