Also, it still bugs me that Sega hasn't brought back forgotten characters like Fang the Sniper and Mighty the Armadillo yet, but who knows? They may get their chance someday. Yeah Fang would be awesome.

and you're right on Hyper Sonic which is why I believe he will neve rreturn. Modern Sonic is pretty powerful and Modern Super Sonic pushes limits. Modern Hyper Sonic would just as well break the game.
