When will they release a game that centers around Tails or Knuckles

See Tails Adventures. Tails SkyPatrol, and Chaotix (It had knuckles as the main character, the others were just there.)

What did it have to contradict the events of SA2?
The only issue with SA2 I see is the Eclipse Cannon still being operable after Sonic chucked the fake Emerald at it.

They needed a new formula a long time ago.  I honestly think Legends 3 would have accomplished that.  They kept on remaking the same thing, with lower budgets, and now they're acting all confused because they stopped making a profit.

thats negligible. what about the Moon? it should be a permanent half moon. yet STHH shows a biggass full moon behind shadow. and then theres those parts on the Ark that resemble Geralds whiskers, which broke off during its decent, but are back again in STHH.

also, I discovered the purpous of the Spindash in unleashed. (PS2 version BTW,) if you time it right, and start off with a spindash, if you press the boost button at the right time, you can do a sonic boost right from the start with no rings. comes in handy actually.

I dunno, maybe the blast from the Eclipse Cannon made the moon rotate faster, so the same side of it isn't always facing Earth anymore? >_>

Hell, while you're getting technical, taking out that much of the moon's mass should've caused massive tidal shifts and volcanic upheavals on Earth, but Sega didn't really take that into account either...

Repaired?

I guess you could argue the same for the moon; Eggman might like full moons in his Eggmanland.

I think the moon was kinda inevitable, or does every other Sonic game afterwards include a half-moon?  Yeah, that's just the game developers not paying attention.  That or they believe the moon will reshape itself in a matter of months. ???

well, in sonic X, Eggman pretends to play nice and help repair the moon, although it was all part of his elaborate scheme. >_>

What's with this debate about story in mah Sonic? All you youngins needin' fancy epic plots, in my day there were no new fangled stories to follow, just Robotnik screwing things up and Sonic & co. going to fix him straight. XD

Seriously though, Sonic 3 + Knuckles should have been the standard for tone and way of telling a story in Sonic games after it. I don't think I'll ever drop that thought.

I thought Sonic Advance 2 did pretty well.

Just a few lines of dialogue, just enough that you don't get bored of all the OMG NEW CHARACTORZ but enough to where you can't make up your own personalities for them like people did in the Genesis days (even the cartoon and comic crossed ways).

Bump for interesting findings:

Over at yonder Sonic Retro, reading through some data in the 360 version's files have turned up a 10th level in the line up. Joining the likes of Windmill Isle, Cool Edge and Dragon Road is another level called Cray Castle.

What is Cray Castle? Well... we don't know (yet.) It's more likely to be a DLC level than it is to be a lost level. Right now, it's too soon to say. All we can confirm is that there is apparently a 10th level in the 360/PS3 version of the game. Similar data mining in the Wii/PS2 version did not turn up such a level.

PS2, because of those systems, that's the only one I'd be able to play. Well, now the Wii version too, but meh.

dont get it.  you'd be better off saving up for the next gen versions. if you dont have a PS3 or 360, then your still better off saving up and buying one. if you dont have any next gens, then get the Wii version. its the better of the 2 versions.

the 2 versions being the last gen and next gen. the differences are the whole game was basically re- made by dimps. the beautiful levels are different, the werehog gameplay has basically lost any fun it had on the next gen systems, with "combos" basically being as much as a combo as Zero's 3 hit saber slash, plus the removal of two entire continents. that plus the final bosses final form colors are wrong.

Erm... I don't have a PS3, 360, or a Wii... If I want to get Unleashed, I have to get the PS2 version. Saving up for any of the current consoles isn't possible, either. >>;
