Sonic: 1991
It has recently been discovered that Sonic The Hedgehogs creator no longer wants anything to do with him. In a recent interview with Yuji Naka he told CVG that he didn’t care about Sonic anymore. Although the main focus of the interview was to do with Yuji’s most recent projects, goals and achievements, you know a Sonic question had to be thrown in there.
When asked about Sonic he simply, and unsurprisingly answered:
“I don’t seek out new Sonic games and I’d rather not interfere with the new Sonic.”
Sonic: 2009
Frankly I’m not surprised, considering he created the blue furry bugger he must be ashamed to see him in the sort of games that get released today. Sonic the Werehog, Sonic and The Black Knight, Sonic wasn’t designed as a wolf, Sonic wasn’t designed to be a knight, Sonic the Hedgehog was designed to run. Unfortunately for Naka, once you create an icon you are stuck with it for the rest of your career, in reality he’s probably just trying to get away from Sonic, to try new things, but Sonic is faster than Naka, and will always catch him.
Sonic could be fixed. It wouldn’t be hard. Sonic Advance + New console polish = win
Not even sonic advance man, Sonic Rush for the DS was fantastic, the best Sonic game in years, a higher quality 2D sonic game for PS3 would be great, a reiteration of the old games, in brand new graphics
They need to stick to the original concept. No fighting scenes, just a level, Sonic and a whole lot of rings. They killed a gaming icon with the last two games!
I think there should be a reinvention. If anyone saw the proposed Earthworm Jim PSP game, that had the right idea. Stick to the original plan, and make the game 2Dish. As if we all remember the bonus levels from Sonic the Hedgehog were basic 3D. But the Earthworm Jim game was scraped, and Sonic will be continually made into 3D childish versions. It’s what sells these days. But as the first game I ever really was addicted to, I feel sad that his image will be remembered for the endless bastardizations rather than the genius adrenalin soaked games of old. :’(
