The first episode of the downloadable Sonic the Hedgehog 4 came with a marmite reception, so SEGA are hoping to put things right.

Today Digital Brand Manger Ken Balough spoke to GameSpot on the potential changes for Episode 2 - including both a new graphics and physics engine - due to heavy complaints from fans and critics.

Metal Sonic appears to have stepped on the villain pedestal this time round, with Sonic joined by his lifetime sidekick Miles "Tails" Prower.

Unfortunately there's no mention of the Wii, 3DS or any other Nintendo format for now, but this was the case with the original Episode 1 reveal. Current formats include PS3, Xbox 360, Android, iPhone and Windows, so a Wii or 3DS port isn't completely out of the question.

Good job SuperNiceDog

I liked it, but it wasn't special. Didn't capture the magic of 2/3+k, and the music was subpar for the series

The guru champ isn't such a SuperNiceDog, he made me change my sig!

I'll probably get it, if they do fix the physics. That was my only real problem with episode one...the levels had some interesting design here and there, and the special stages were pretty fun!

but what is a marmite reception

Sega should just forget Sonic 4 ever existed

I mean we're getting Episode 2 2 years after Episode 1, so it's not that big of a stretch to just forget the whole thing!

Good job SuperNiceDog

my bets are that it has to do with the new graphics engine and maybe the Wii would have held it back

Don't Sonic games usually sell best on Nintendo consoles?

SuperNiceDog was not so nice to my bracket.
Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest!

Sonic 4 is nowhere near as big a project as Half-Life. There's no reason for Sonic 4 to take this long.

"Episode II unfortunately will not be coming to the Wii -- for reasons most people have probably guessed,"

Have we been able to guess?

I think completely rehauling the graphics and physics is reason enough!
