Sonic Team head wants all Sonic games on modern platforms, would "magically do it" if possible
Nintendo Everything • • technology
Key Points:
- Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka expressed a strong desire to have every Sonic the Hedgehog game playable on modern platforms, aiming to preserve the series' legacy across 35 years.
- Iizuka highlighted the significant resource challenge, noting that remaking old games costs about the same as developing new titles, which limits the feasibility of extensive remakes.
- Due to these costs, the focus remains on creating new Sonic experiences rather than remaking older games, despite the appeal of preserving classic titles for current hardware.
- SEGA has pursued remasters recently, including Sonic Generations with a new Shadow Generations campaign, and Iizuka mentioned the possibility of a third year of DLC for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds depending on its success.
