And the Fandom Rejoiced/Sonic Generations

The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is, sadly, the poster child for the Broken Base ever since the titular character grew up, got Suddenly Voiced, and changed eye color. So, what better Milestone Celebration than getting both incarnations of the blue blur speeding their way through memory lane? And the Fandom Rejoiced... and reunited, for once!


 * During the release of screenshots for Sonic The Hedgehog 4, the old-school fans kept on clamoring for Sonic's classic design. Now, they finally get their wish and then some.
 * And then the gameplay trailer was released.
 * Warren Graff and Ken Pontac are returning to write the story!
 * For Nintendo fans: it will be coming to the 3DS.
 * The return of City Escape and Rooftop Run.
 * Mighty and Ray returning!... sort of.
 * Classic Metal Sonic has been confirmed as a boss, but his racetrack is Stardust Speedway!
 * Tails and his classic self are now confirmed!
 * Modern Sonic can be in the water without drowning right away! ... wait a second...
 * Seaside Hill calls back to Aquatic Ruin, Hydrocity, Emerald Coast, and Adabat! It isn't "Green Hill 2.0"!
 * Shadow has been confirmed as a boss, but you fight him on the Space Colony ARK runway just like in Sonic Adventure 2!
 * The return of Planet Wisp and Sky Sanctuary, now with more Scenery Porn than ever!
