Sega's running a "Hedgehog Week" event to celebrate the upcoming announcement of Project Needlemouse's true name this week. To tide fans over until then, new assets from the game were made available for all to see and hear.
Two pieces of concept art hearken back to the old "Green Hill" introductory levels featuring lush vegetation, blue skies, and open waters. We're given a glance at the cheerful shrubbery that you'll be whizzing by and sometimes peering into for a helpful item. First up is this bright sunflower with spinning petals, and there's this familiar-looking palm tree with an unusually straight trunk. They'll sometimes hide an item monitor in the leaves for Sonic to break open.
Finally, a small sample of music from Project Needlemouse was posted on Sega's front page. Sounds like it might be the title screen tune:
The reveal day is this coming Thursday and Sega also has a bonus in store to coincide with the announcement. We'll bring you the details of Project Needlemouse's true name and what this mysterious bonus content contains once they're available.
