Now we just have to wait and see if X2 or X3 make it, since they had those expensive chips inside them to compute some special vector effects. They're very rare games, and with those chips, creating an effective SNES emulator to play those games can be very difficult.

Personally, if I were you, I'd try to hunt down a copy of Mega Man X Collection for the GC, rather than playing the "Wait-and-see" game for those two titles.

Seriously, does anyone have any idea why this is a PS3/360 exclusive? I mean, the only reason I can think of, given all these upcoming Nintendo console rumors, is that the title will be ported to that for its launch, so there's no point in porting the game to the Wii. Anyone else have a thought about it?

"Set across three defining eras from 20 years of Sonic the Hedgehog video game history, the instantly recognizable environments of Sonic Generations have been re-built in stunning HD and are now playable in both classic side scrolling 2D from 1991, as well as modern 3D style found in Sonic’s most recent adventures." - Sega press release.

The game is due out in "Holiday 2011" on the 360 and PS3. No Wii, 3DS, or NGP version as far as I can tell.

The story involves a "New Power" creating time holes across the land, hence the advent of Classic and Modern Sonic meeting.

Anyway, seeing super-zoomed out video in the trailer above, and what I think looks like some heavy classic Sonic momentum loss where Sonic otherwise would have maintained a bit of speed, this trailer does little to excite me about the game, unfortunately.

Better than "Epic Wii."

Nah, it'll never be called the Super Wii. Maybe "Massive Wii." Maybe.

I'm still a proponent for it being named "!!M" just because Nintendo trademarked that way back when.

I think just about everyone was expecting to hear something like this. I also think an anonymous source stating it "...isn't a gimmick like the Wii" is someone who's out of touch with the reality of the gaming market, in many senses, so I'm not sure if I'd trust that individual source all that much, either.

I imagine it'll be a Sonic Rush/Sonic Colors remaking of the stages, given how "New" Sonic was going through the stages before. Given that, some of it will be in two dimensions, other parts in three, by my guess.

I can't find anything anywhere that suggests this game is the old genesis levels with 2.5D graphics. Where'd you hear about that?
