User blog comment:Rainbowroad6w/Sonic Generations Has Been Confirmed For 3DS!!/@comment-252096-20110526195758

I expected them to actually take advantage of the 3DS' power and keep the behind-the-back Modern Sonic gameplay that the console versions have. But then they went and disregarded the ability of the 3DS to keep the game close to, if not on par with the console versions and just treated it like another original DS model, pumping out a completely side-scrolling game with gameplay based on the Rush games and Colors DS. Regardless of whether or not the system is the successor to the DS, which only had side-scrolling games, I don't think this was the smartest choice. I know SEGA's just testing the waters for Sonic's first game on the system and probably doesn't want to push the system farther than they know it can go, but it's obvious that the 3DS can handle more than just another DS-styled game with prettier graphics.
