Yes! No crappy Robotnik levels or whatever.

Gamers will use the Wii controller to steer Sonic and experience an untapped freedom in gameplay and control. Hold the controller horizontally with two hands and tilt left and right to steer Sonic on different paths and maneuver deftly from obstacles and enemies. Continue to tilt and fling forward to dash-attack ground and air enemies and to break down barriers.
Sounds good!
Though I still don't know how I feel about the Wii getting what looks like nothing but exclusive games. Can't we get some ports too?

The vibrant environments provide for a refreshingly new look to the franchise filled with brightly colored mosaic tiles, glistening oases, swaying palm trees, and crumbling stone columns.
That's the best thing i've ever heard in my entire life.
PLEASE don't turn out crappy!

There is a lot of potential here, both very good and very bad.

But if anything this sounds like it might be the most traditional Sonic title in years even if it does have a kind of warped story.
It says the game is controller by tilting the controller left and right. Seems obvious it's a 2D title.
Basically tilting the controller left and right to move in those directions and flinging it in those directions to do a spin-attack. Of course the classic Sonic gameplay will only require a single button for jumping. So the Wii-mote is PERFECT.
It would certainly take some getting used to but it could offer a kind of precision like never before.
You could have Sonic run at all kind of different speeds and the spin-attack would be more more reaction based.
The story does sound whack but hopefully the GAMEPLAY will be the focus here. Like it was in Sonic Rush which also had a whack story.
The mini-games sound great too especially with multiplayer which is obviously something Nintendo is going to push hard. It has to justify the name anyway.
ON ANOTHER NOTE. The sad thing is this is the type of game that could now be ported to the PS3 if it indeed only requires tilting of the controller. But most of the mini-games are probably bound to the Wii.

"The old camera woes of Sonic Adventure (and even the recent Shadow the Hedgehog) seem to be a thing of the past at long last."
Yay!
"We tried to tilt the freehand controller to change Sonic?s trajectory as one would tilt a control stick; that is, a small tilt should cause Sonic to only slightly veer from his path, while a larger tilt would cause him to move off course at a larger angle from the point of origin. Instead the freehand seems to only register whether or not any tilt is currently in play. Tilting the freehand a little or a lot causes Sonic to race off to the edge of the screen and we were unable to tweak Sonic?s path in order to collect some items."
Not-so-yay.

The developers were brilliant. They saw that 3D Sonic titles just weren't working.
So they made a different kind of 3D Sonic title with all-linear 2D style gameplay.
No more having to mess with the camera or awkward exploring. Just pure Sonic fun. The way it should be.
The new trailer definitly has me hyped for it. Especially at the end when that HUGE (censored for spoilage) appears.

Cuz it's F-Zero, not Sonic-jump-and-slowdown-in-awkward-angle-while-most-of-the-super-fast-movement-controls-itself.

Cool effects and speed only last so long before the experience becomes stale. Personally, I am glad that I don't have to worry about this game, I can move on to others.
