The teaser trailer didn't show any gameplay, but what we know so far is:

-Tails is playable (just as he is in the Sonic CD remake).
-Metal Sonic is in the game.
-It's being made with a new graphics engine.
-The physics have come a long way from how they were in Episode I.
-Again, like the Sonic CD remake, it's coming to everything except WiiWare, most likely because of limitations (which I know is bound to cause some Nintendo fanboy rage, regardless).

I'm pretty excited for this one, especially after hearing that there's been some major improvements that were made to the engine. While I did enjoy Episode I to a certain extent, there's just no denying the fact that those physics were in need of some serious work. I'm also glad that more than just Sonic is playable this time, because no one other than him has been playable in any (main) console game in five years, and I was starting to get sick of it.
 
I didn't play the first one, so I can't say I'm missing out because it's not coming to WiiWare. Hell, I just bought Fluidity four days ago, and that's been out for months (not a huge WiiWare fan).
 
Now Sega are really going Anti Nintendo.
 
^ Exactly. There's a 40MB size limit that Nintendo has put on WiiWare titles for some reason, as opposed to the larger 2GB limit that the other current-gen consoles have. From what I've seen, the WiiWare Sonic 4: Episode I was watered down (graphics-wise and sound-wise) to fit the system's limitations, and the same thing would most likely repeat itself with Episode II if that were to come to the Wii. It would just be another watered-down product.

[...]the reason Episode I was on the Wii was because we wanted to bring the Sonic 4 saga to the widest possible audience. Episode II unfortunately will not be coming to the Wii - for reasons most people have probably guessed, but that doesn't mean the SEGA isn't supporting Nintendo platforms, we have a very strong partnership and will continue to do so.

So there, all this "OMG, SEGA HAETS NINTENDO!!!!111ONEONE!" crap can finally be put to rest.
 
Ok I get it now. I hope to see more Nintendo Mario I'm the future.
