Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1

'Scuse you, but NSMBW is a fine example of what Sega should be aiming for with Sonic 4. That's the right way to bring back a classic. How on Earth is it "less-like-the-original" or even close to annoying?

I agree, they should make more games like the originals, but like Nintendo still does with mario, release games like super mario galaxy, with somewhat more plot and more fleshed out gameplay.

As long as those plots involve Dr. Ivo Robotnik, not Eggman, and the only characters are Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and maybe Amy as long as she's more of the damsel in distress like in sonic CD. No other characters because with few exceptions all the others suck.
