And the Fandom Rejoiced/Sonic Colors

The first Sonic game to be specifically made for a Nintendo home console happened to be the most true to the series' roots in recent history. The sheer Irony didn't detract to the equally sheer positive response to the game.


 * The return of SA-55, or Ergo, now officially known as Orbot! And he has a yellow cube-shaped companion now...
 * Mike Pollock remaining as Eggman's voice actor.
 * The reveal of a stage where Sonic goes into the water, and doesn't die!
 * Can't help noticing that the gameplay is an awful lot like the daytime portion of Sonic Unleashed. Also can't help noticing that a full Sonic game consisting of that stellar gameplay with no werehog to bog things down is specifically word-for-word what many, many people wanted to see, so, uh, thanks for listening, Sega. You're a pal.
 * The return of old-school Badniks.
 * The writers of MadWorld did the actual script. The characters' lip flaps are synced up to the English voicetrack (the version that everybody outside Japan gets).
