However, SNK Playmore is an obvious warning sign what happens when you focus on sprites for HD resolutions, something a lot of optimisic fans are obviously glossing over when bringing KOFXII up as an example of recent 2D games. As far as the "hold right" gameplay goes, I've always thought think that trend is a result of Sega overreacting to the backlash of the complaints of playing non-Sonic characters in the Adventure games. Everybody wanted more of the speedy running stages, and as a result Sega (and the companies they contracted for spinoff and handheld games such as Dimps) focused too much on the speed and not enough on the platforming.

It'd be pretty great if it did turn out well (and likely manage the quell the thirst of those many Sonic fans clamoring for more of the 2D playstyle). Let’s hope it does well, for their sake.

TBH while I would prefer 2D sprites in HD I'd be fine with a 2.5D approach as long as it really is what they're promising. LOL you’re probably right.
