Project Needlemouse a Downloadable Title

Information on Sega’s upcoming new Sonic title dubbed, “Project Needlemouse” has been rather scarce since a video released online teased the game, sending fans into a murmur.

SEGA’s Constantine Hantzopoulos confirmed to the folks over at the 4Guys1Up podcast at 1up.com that Project Needlemouse will be a downloadable title. However, he didn’t mention which platforms the title will be hitting. Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network were name-dropped later in the cast, though in a slightly unrelated context.

1up: I think that’s why a lot of people are excited about needlemouse too, because it seems like SEGA aren’t trying to make it as mass market

Hantzopoulos: that’s right, thats right. I’ve been playing a lot of XBLA and PSN games lately. Shadow Complex is great.

Hantzopoulos also mentioned this will be a smaller title, but didn’t clarify as to what that exactly meant.

Sonic Retro will keep you up to date as information trickles in.

    That’s either a huge hint, or the guy likes putting random statements together.

    Crap, I think this is the moment were SEGA comes and says how there is a new character in the game called GAY. It’s a shame. I was looking forward to a new EPIC sonic 2D game with SPEED. Not some downloadable crap disaster. Unless SEGA can do a Megaman 9 then we are in fact screwed.

    I honestly don’t care if it’s download and/or disc.  I just want the game to be good.  I mean, I would prefer a disc release, but whatever.

    You’re jumping to conclusions there. Did you even read the TSSZ News story on this? It’s just an odd coincidence that whenever Needlemouse is mentioned, so is XBLN and PSN. Nothing is confirmed yet.

    Wow….. gay. No Needlemouse for me. Just come out the closet and say it SEGA, tell us that Wii gets crappy storybook titles for the rest of its existence, and HD twins are the ones with the serious Sonic titles now. No need to hide it anymore.

    This can’t possibly be true can it?

    People are thinking it’s going to be a download only title because a Sega Europe employee mentioned in a n interview that S3&K was doing well in with high downloads in XBLA. Basically he was just referring to how the old games are still popular. You should wait until it’s been definatley proven before posting.
