Seeing this gameplay footage makes me want to replay Hidden Palace Zone in the Sonic 2 Android/iOS release.
Also heard the Sonic 3 Hydrocity fan spinning sound in the popcorn machine.
Perhaps there's more to this game than just the original GHZ for nostalgia notes?

This is the end of the Sonic Cycle. All aboard.

...holy shit, for something that's literally a blink of time, they put a lot of thought into doing it. I'm gonna be mindblown consistently through this game at all the subtle upgrades, I can feel it.

That was made by dimps, who made the garbage rush games.
This is being made by, among others, Christian Whitehead who made the sonic 1, 2 & CD remakes. Music seems good, graphics look great, physics seem right, only thing that's in question is the level design, which seemed good from the snippets of studiopolis that we've seen.
Oh man. How's the studiopolis level design? How much does green hill zone diverge from the original after what we've already seen?

What's with that aggresive attitude ? Can I just express that I'm disappointed by this annoucement ?

I'm really looking forward to this.
2017 is a long way away but that footage looks so good.

Oh, so the music from the trailer isn't going to be similar to the music in game? :/ Who's handling music.

Sold day one.
Looks fantastic!
Looks fantastic!
Nice catch.Anyone notice the old Sonic sprite behind the new one in the trailer?
WHAT CAN IT MEAN
Might just be Sonic's afterimage, although now that I've seen this I have the feeling they may offer an option for the original sprite.
these are the kind of ridiculously obscure nods you get when a game is made by obsessive superfans

Man, I remember when Taxman posted that initial Sonic CD Retro Engine proof of concept years back. I'm amazed it's all led up to this.

Since we still aren't sure of Madeon's involvement, it's possibly him.

I don't recognize the music starting at 0:29, is it new or from some recent Sonic game I haven't played?
Very meta that now it's a level in a Sonic game.
Kinda hilarious.
Think the trailer music was made by different artists? Says it at the end. I think I've seen the name Nitro Fun from Monstercat, popular label among gamers and young crowds.
No. Tee Lopes.
Remakes? Like fan remakes?

Song is called Checkpoint by Nitro Fun + Hyper Potions
Oh, cool. Thanks!

is it legit to ask for a Saturn port? 
No, the iOS/Android versions of S1/S2/CD. They used all the original art and whatnot, but they were actually remade on Christian Whitehead's own Retro Engine with incredible accuracy.
No, official remakes. Sonic 1 and 2 are available on mobile and Sonic CD is available on mobile, PC, 360, and PS3.
I really want Nintendo to do it but they clearly won't because it doesn't make much business sense. The NSMB games sold like gangbusters and the 2.5D style is probably a lot more cost efficent. There's a reason none of their several 2D platformers across the 3DS and Wii U this gen use sprites.

Read this as "Christian Chandler Headcanon" and thought I was in for a wild ride. Maybe they'll let him make one next.

You've never seen them?
They're amazing versions, I just wish they were released for current consoles along with S3&K, I'd buy them all in a heart beat.

No, like "I can recreate these games 100% faithfully in a cross platform game engine, will you pay me?" and eventually they said yes.
And now they're finally making classic Sonic games again.

I don't agree with that, NSMB was still somewhat modern with 3D graphics even though the gameplay was 2D, didn't look like a NES game in any way. Sonic Mania looks and plays like a Megadrive game, it's more like Megaman 9 than NSMB, or a compilation of levels from Mario Maker without the ability to make new levels. Could still be fantastic though but personally I don't see it as a step forward.
OMG, the old time-y Eggman in the sign just a bit after this.

Eh no offense but I don't buy it; Ninty can make a 2D sprite-drawn platformer and people would buy it regardless long as the gameplay is good, which it usually is.
They're not 100% faithful. They're close, but definitely not 100%.
I'll say I'm disappointed that there is no NX version (as there's clearly no NDA about trailer logos and whatnot in regards to it which means it's not happening or it'll be late), but if it's good, I can still get it on PC.
