From the Desk of Takashi Iizuka,

I have been working with the designers on the next Sonic game for the past few months. We have not come up with a concrete idea but I have a feeling we have been holding back. We need to consider all possibilities for the next Sonic game. We should cater to the fans we have, not the ones we don’t.

We have conducted a few polls on Sonic fan sites for opinions on the direction Sonic should be headed towards. An overwhelming majority want a sequel to the critically panned Sonic the Hedgehog game released in 2006. They believe that today’s Sonic Team can tackle the gameplay and story successfully.

Here are some of the suggestions that fans have recommended: Love triangle between Sonic, Elise and Amy Revive Mephiles and further his backstory Introduce a rival to Silver a la Sonic and Shadow Bring back Blaze the Cat Good physics engine

Although we may not like the prospect of continuing a story that should not have been created, we need to think about the longevity of the Sonic series.

If you have any suggestions, please send me an e-mail. - Takashi Iizuka One Sonic Team employee who wishes to remain anonymous said, “I already came up with a rival to Silver. His name is Gold the Hedgehog. He is a gold color.”

No... I just... no...



Do tell us what you have to say to this... because it's expected to be released this fall or winter.
