GAMETECH: Bringing Sonic up to speed

SONIC the Hedgehog is a prickly subject. Not only does he elicit terrible puns from video game writers, he does so while dividing opinion quicker than a ghostbuster with boobs. 

To celebrate the birthday of this gaming icon, Sega have announced that a new Sonic game is being made, which isn’t a surprise in itself.

The real surprise is that Sonic Mania, as it’s called, will be a new 2D Sonic game, something fans have requested for a very long time. In other words, it will look and play just like the Sonic we all remember from 25 years ago. Erm, you do remember, right?
