I will most certainly investigate further into this allegation. If it's true, it's possible that it may just be a hand-held version of an existing Sonic game (most likely a Sonic Jam type collection). But then again, it may indeed be a completely new 2D Sonic game. If the latter is the case, I will go so far as to import a NG Pocket along with a copy of said Sonic game, and share my findings with all who care to listen. Stick with NEO GHZ to keep updated. Either way, I think I've got another item to add down the Sonic Museum timeline...

Now here's something else interesting to chew on: as dirty rumor would have it, there may be some sort of link-up feature between the Neo Geo Pocket Color and PlayStation 2 in the future. Smell something funny? Of course, that's just rumor, but there's just something seriously wrong with the industry when I play Sonic the Hedgehog on a PlayStation...
