More Sonic 4 details, game inspired by Sonic 2

The Sonic the Hedgehog 4 details just keep pouring in, and it all seems to be good news, too. Some fresh details have surfaced from that hub of information known as NeoGAF, providing more insight into what keeps promising to be a terrific title. 

Here’s the latest gossip:

• The game will be a platformer only: No mini games and extra crap (although classic bonus stages are on the cards).
• The level design is said to be inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
• Episode one will have four zones with three acts each.
• Jun Senoue is the sound director/composer.
• The classic “wrecking ball” boss fight at the end of Splash Hill will involve new attacks, such as a ground smash and 360 degree swing.
• Future episodes may have new skills for Sonic.

I’m not saying Sonic 4 will definitely be great, but as a lifelong fan of classic platformers, I’m saying it definitely can’t hurt to have a little faith. Even if this didn’t star Sonic, it looks like the exact kind of game that I’d want to play and I can’t wait to finally get my hands on it.
