I'd rather SEGA stick to making new games instead of revisiting old ones, especially ones with such a negative reputation. Even though I hate how they seem to have de-listed the game (e.g. it's not included in the Special Book in SatSR), I would greatly prefer it to be left alone as part of history. Improving the glitches, controls and graphics would be a welcome change, but if the convoluted plot remained, the game would still be panned. However, it would be unfaithful to the canon to alter any plot elements of the story, including the kiss scene.

I'm concerned re-releasing '06 would only serve to remind fans of the disaster it caused and make SEGA go downhill again. De-listing is why Sonic fans can only find Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic and the Black Knight at Gamestop. Good thing it hasen't happened yet with Sonic Lost World. BTW, I'm mad at Gamestop or giving me only $10, for 5 of my games, and one of them was NOT used.
