    Or Maybe the decision

    Was based on the fact that 3D has never worked for the blue haired chap?

    So Sonic 2.5D eh, there's a big suprise, expect Viewtiful Joe minus the annoying noises, actually they'll be there too.

    As long as it is a DLC, he needs to regain our trust before he can have shelf space back.

    Might be 2D in the platform sense....

    but it looks from the ad and photo that the graphics are still going to be upsettingly 3D (that rotating ring, for example, is far too polished for my liking - bring back yellow crosshatching!!)

    Though at least it's a step back to the good old days - 3D games just annoy me, too many degrees of freedom for my liking (read: I get lost, often).

    The one with the rings in the pocket please.

    If they do it right...

    I could absolutely go for this. I'm surprised that Sega haven't done this sooner, with the rise in casual gaming, and the low development cost involved.

    But Sega also have a habit of messing things up, along with a complete inability to market even the best products. I'm a little sceptical.
