Yep, Interplay--a brand name that hasn't been noteworthy for at least ten years--has teamed up with Gameloft to bring back the short-lived '90s icon. Unfortunately, the updates in this version weren't for the better. Judging from the video I posted, the animation seems off, the use of After Effects was unnecessary, the voice acting is weak, and for some reason, Interplay turned down Tommy Tallarico's offer to use his soundtrack. Personally, I prefer the Super NES version for the following reasons:
1. It had nicer colors than the Genesis/MD/Sega CD and DOS/Windows versions.
2. It had better sound effects, but not as many voice samples as the other two.
3. The music, while not redbook quality, was much more fitting.
However, the CD versions have their advantages:
1. Improved animation
2. More levels
3. A bonus video with Doug TenNapel himself

As for the whole Hi-Def craze, I'm so sick of things being presented in HD just for the sake of it. (Ditto for After Effects and ToonBoom.) I'd rather take something well done in standard definition over something presented in HD but sucks hard.
