Highlights:

-New physics and graphics engine

-"Lock-On" Technology

-Free extra PLAYABLE content if you own both episodes, which is supposed to tie into Sonic CD.

-Releasing for Multiple Devices & Consoles with Online Play

Sounds great to me so far! I enjoyed the first one, and this one sounds better.

Lockon technology.. looks like Wii owners got burned. xD

edit: Wow it has co-op play. That's a relief.

edit: lol he totally blew over the Wii version in the interview. ''we'll make sure both eps are available on whatever device whether it be Playstation, iOs, etc'' But come to think of it this is probably more Nintendo's fault for its terrible handling of Wiiware.

I'm looking forward to it. I actually liked Episode 1. Also enjoyed Generations.
