that is what sonic 2d would look like with today's graphics.
Here's the thing, though: Nobody but the morons who have no idea what they're talking about WANT that. The fact of the matter is that 2D is DEAD AND GONE on consoles, and is slowly dieing out on the handhelds. If ANY series is to survive, it MUST make the transition to 3D. Mistakes are inevitable, and it's whether or not the developers learn from those mistakes that will decide. If people actually opened their damn eyes and played the games, they would see that Sonic Team HAS learned, and is STILL learning. True, some games were crap (Sonic '06), but usually the ideas and gameplay is good. Even Shadow running around spraying lead makes sense in-universe: He has amnesia and CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXTENT OF HIS POWER. If you were someone looking for answers in a world that is going through its most devastating war ever, and you were caught in the crossfire, would you not pick up a gun and fight?
Again, 2D is dead on consoles, plain and simple, and anyone that things handheld-exclusive would allow a series to live on (and in 2D) is blind to the fact that 2D is dieing on handhelds, and that handheld games do not generate enough revenue to keep a company alive.
