The Genesis days, duh. Is this even debatable? Sonic 1-3 were pretty much perfect games, and Sonic and Knuckles rocked socks. Sonic was up there with Mario Bros. 3. It was THAT good.

When Sonic went 3D. There has yet to be a good 3D Sonic game. Even Sonic 3D Blast sucked. Sega was on the right track with the Dreamcast Sonic games...but they felt the need to add new characters and levels where you had to find stuff or do lame platforming. Seriously Sega, Nintendo has kicked your ass with Super Mario 64 in that area, Rare kicked your ass with Banjo and Conker, and Ubisoft kicked your ass with Rayman 2. Fans of Sonic want A SONIC GAME, like the Genesis ones. A game where you
A) play as Sonic
B) start at the beginning of the level
C) run towards the end of the level while collecting rings
D) fight bosses every two levels

It's really not that hard.

No. I don't have faith in Sega, I expect 1 fun level followed by 2 levels of lameness just like in the Sonic Adventure games.

The non-Sonic ones? All the ones that they added for the 3D games. Knuckles was always fun to play as.

Who cares? As long as they bring back the core Sonic gameplay no one will complain.
