oh SEGA! - Iizuka confirms a "SONIC Mach 2" and that Sonic Team is not developing it... before the game is officially announced.

I'm not sure how i feel about another spin-off. :/

Why mach 2? Is there a mach one or is that a clever name or something?

No redesigns please.

Mach 2 is the speed of sound. Like Mach 2 specifically.

For clarification, yes, there is a Mach 1. It's just not the speed of sound. Sonic is specifically known to run at the speed of sound, so calling the game "Sonic Mach 1" wouldn't make sense, because it would be calling him slow.

That is incorrect. Mach 1 is the speed of sound. 340.29  m/s or 761.2 mph.

I have no idea why they called it Mach 2.
