I'd like to play as Tails alone, and not have to rely on co-op, but that's probably my only minor complaint. I'll give the demo a go, at the very least.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but the Sonic 4 website has been updated. Zone names so far confirmed as White Park Zone (yet another one with "White" in the name) and TranSylvania Castle Zone. Characters and Badniks up there, too.

I'm fully aware that I'm one to talk but "Badicks" - really? nice to know even the big guys can't proof read everything... Is little planet now the new official name for the miracle planet? I assume its one of those Robotnik/eggman translation things?

Little Planet is the game's name for it, with Miracle Planet... sometimes being its name. It's like the Floating Island and Angel Island: the game gave two names for something and it was up to the continuities to pick one. ...It just so happened that both times they went in the opposite direction from STC.

I like the idea that the events in "Episode 1" were just "the piece of a larger puzzle", that Eggman has something far more sinister planned. Not to mention bringing back the Little Planet is a nice use of Continuity (something the Sonic games have been bring up alot lately)

Between Chronicles, Generations, and this, indeed, they have been picking up on continuity a lot. Though not so extensively an end becomes desirable, which can be a side effect of too interlinked a plot. I do wonder how many Episodes they intend to have. My guess would three - 12 stages would be about right. I also wonder what this secret plan could be? Let me guess: more messing with time and space! Three games in a row, Egghead, really? Oh crud, so this is Metal Sonic Prime and not that model from Heroes. Wonder if that means anything in the bigger picture?

I know what you mean about "an end"; hopefully it instead links up to... say "Sonic Adventure", with Eggman discovering "the stone tablet" that foretells about "Chaos".
I hope there are a third episode (hopefully including Knuckles), because, as you said, 12 sounds right!

The narrative of this confuses me. So the story is Episode 1 (where actually [censored] all happens anyway, and nothing really matters), then Sonic CD (which isn't actually an episode in this, even though it sits in the middle), then Episode 2. Sega are now feebly trying to expand upon what happened in Ep. 1, even though the story was exactly as throwaway as Sonic Chaos, or Sonic 3D.

And it all apparently takes place after Sonic 3 & Knuckles- and placing CD there makes very little sense if you ask me.

I thought they said that at the very least; Sonic CD takes place before Sonic 4. Thats it. I might be wrong.

it actually doesn't matter worth a [censored] when it takes place

I'm confused why you think Sonic CD comes in the middle, like JBA said sega have clearly said cd is before STH4 there defining it (though again sega trying to put there cannon in order seems almost as laughable as fans doing it) as 1 2 3 knuckles, and then 4 with sonic cd having happened at some-point after 1 but before 4 most likely between 1 and 2

So basically; while there's no proper placement in the timeline for "Sonic CD", it's all before "Sonic 4".
I always had the early timeline as:
Sonic 1 Death Egg Saga - Sonic 2, 3 and Knuckles Sonic CD Sonic 3D (I'll always see this as canon, no matter what people say; Flickies are cool) Leading into "Sonic Adventure"
Now all I know is that Sonic CD and the Death Egg saga all take place before Sonic 4, and we don't know which comes first!

I always tend to put the "timeline" (if one has to exist) in the order the games were made or released in, though I tend to think of Sonic CD occurring before Sonic 2 because work started on CD first.

It seems to stupid to me that sega went to all the trouble of trying to create a solid timeline and then just ruined it. I mean the adventure of a blue hedgehog don't need a cannon persay... the plumber sure doesn't however once you give it one, and try and suggest it serious (sonic adventure 1,2 shadow, sonic 06 etc) they should at least try and get it right. it's something the jax and daxter and rachet and clank series managed without ever seeming over the top, stupid or contrived. I suppose however sega is a big company and the people in the company having a say on such things are going to change, even the people in sonic team change a lot so as whims of boards, creators and marketing people have changed. so has the focus between having a cannon and not, so sometimes they've tried to close up plot holes but others they have tried to pull a mario and just present games to play. Also I guess the cannon of something like sonic even if it was done well would never be expected to work as well as something like Halo... which has terrible and contradictory cannon (as of late) and people still buy there games.... umm well that sure was a pointless ramble to make up for here.... it's a tube >_> that you'll all have already seen on anyone of the number of sonic sites you visit..... YAY

Nah, don't worry, I got the general gist of it and I agree; it's a complete waste of time to try and put all the games in any sort of canon as it contradicts itself constantly. Aside from Sonic 1-3+K, none of it fits together logically.

sonic battle [...] terrible to medicore whoa whoa whoa really? I mean Sonic Battle is board-line OK, it is medicore, you can have some fun with it, (same as sonic heroes) but it's not good, it certainly isn't a stand out moment for the series. The story isn't good, the graphics aren't great, and the fighting is fun for a GBA title but thats not saying much. I mean this is my opinion and you clearly have another opinion on it but I just can't see it as a good game. I mean there a ton of better sonic games, there are a bunch of better GBA games (there even 2 better sonic games on the gba) and there are certainly a lot of better games all told. Hence Medicore... Shadow was the game I though was terrible. Heroes I thought was a good idea (level design wise) but was terrible in terms of execution, technically expects of control and crippling friend disease, it's fun occasionally and there are hint of a really fun game it could have been. (if you refined the controls, took out 11 characters and had less grinding)
