Theres nothing wrong with side scrolling 3d either, if they want 3d so theyre thought of as next gen they could have backgrounds that look 3d, so maybe a 2.5d sonic game would be good? I guess there wouldnt be any chance of that though, I bet people have already suggested it to them and they ignored it.

anyone old enough to remember the NES and Sega wars? Back when you were either a Sega fan or NES fan. I was NES because I hated Sega. The games were all so stupid. Shadow Run was the only good game on Sega IMO.

Oh yes...I remember NES...but I also remember the old Atari 2600.
But I remember the NES and Sega wars!

NES was my favorite system. I liked Sega simply for the Sonic 1 & 2 games, along with NBA Jam and Star Trek TNG.
In fact, I still have an NES at home

I had Pong that you hooked to the TV... can't even remember the company that made the console now. But you could play pong and hockey both! It rocked!!
Then I got the Atari 2600 which totally sucked, but it was the best thing out at the time. Then I got into computers, starting with an Atari 400, membrane keyboard, cassette tape drive, and hooked to the TV. It had this great game called Star Raiders that was awesome! I spent a lot of time with that machine, eventually upgraded it to an Atari 800 with 64K RAM! (woot!)
About that time the NES came out, so I had to get one of those of course

Played the heck out of that for about a year, then stuck it in the closet.
Played computer games ever since then, up until about 3 years ago. Then my son got old enough that he got into games... since then, for Christmas/birthdays, we have bought (in order) Gameboy Advance, PS2, PS3, Nintendo DS, Nintendo WII, XBox 360 and a PSP. He plays them all and loves them. A couple weeks ago he found our old NES in the closet. I dragged it out, hooked it up and it still works, so now he's enjoying all those old games too.

I have every intention on having my little brother/sister brainwashed from the moment it is born to love the xbox 360 and worship it relentlessly, just because my step-dad hates xbox and loves ps3. (I like both xbox and ps3 but its fun to argue about it

)
Also by 9 months my brother/sister will be trained in the ancient art of the wii-mote

Are you guys talking about SNES vs. Sega Genesis, or NES vs. Sega Master System? The latter was a joke, and Sega got steamrolled in the US. However, due to NES supply issues to Europe and South America, Sega got a good foothold with the Master System (SMS), and ended up doing quite well in some of those regions. The SMS died after only about a year in the US, but the US Game Gear kept getting ports of SMS games released in Europe and S. America, like Sonic 1 & 2.
