Projectneedlemouse Virtual Vox Pop: Whats Your Most Anticipated 2D Game of 2010?

Virtual Vox Pop is a weekly open mic in which we ask you, the reader, to sound off on a particular topic. This week, it’s the 2D games of 2010.

2009 proved an absolutely amazing year for 2D games with strong showings in virtually every genre conducive to the style of play.  However, the calendar is poised to flip, and with that happening will come a new year filled with a slew of fresh titles designed to dazzle the gamingverse. A quick run down of some of the early standouts:

Personally, SEGA’s Project Needlemouse has my joystick ready to rock thanks to a teaser video that hints of a new, 2D Sonic game. Anyone who’s familiar with my gaming history knows of my sorted love affair with the hedgehog (and my desire to see the heartbreak come to an end), so 2010 is already shining bright.

What are you most looking forward to playing in 2010?

    Definitely, absolutely looking forward to the new Sonic (New 2D game built from th eground up? Yea I’m excited!!). Bring Sonic back to his roots because 3D isn’t workin out for him. Also looking forward to Batman Arkham Asylum 2, Final Fantasy XIII (Even if I have to import), and Monster Rancher for the DS (Though I don’t see how the monster making will work since you can’t use CD’s like the first game, which was an awesome concept).

    Mega Man 10! But also really looking forward to Sands of Destruction. I’m cautious about Needlemouse. I want it to be good so very much but I’ve been burned so many times that I’ll just have to wait and see.

    @Main Finger: Needlehouse is the only hope that I have left for Sonic–if not for that, there would be no faith at all!

    2009 was a great year for 2D games?

    Please list the 2D games of 2009??

    And where is King of Fighters 13 in this 2010 list?

    Easily the most anticipated fully 2D game, after that probably Sonic.

    Well, this was written back in Dec 09, so there was no word of KO13.

    As for the 2D games..BAM!
