Interviewer: "You're working on Sonic Generations. Sonic has followed me my whole life. And in the past 20 years, there also have been games that were'nt so good from sonic. how is this game coming back to the old school quality?
Iizuka: "It's going to be Sonic's 20th Anniversary, and therefore there are more generations of fans.There are people like you, who've played Sonic for 20 years, but there are also newer fans who got to know him from the cartoons. We want to convert the best aspects of Sonic into something that all different fans can like. That's why we try to produce a connection between the sonic features, from the first sonic with the sicescrolling-phase until the modern sonic features."
Interviewer: "What makes this sonic game so special, compared to the other sonic games? Are we going to see some new features or does it stay with the classic sonic gameplay?"
Iizuka: "This game will tell the entire history of sonic. Because of that it's not important to insert new ideas. We want to connect the classic and modern features through a timetravel of the sonic series."
Interviewer: "Which familliar characters will we see in this sonic generations game? Are we gonna see the return of tails? Who is gonna be in this game?"
Iizuka: "The classic and modern sonic are playable, because the game is about the history of the sonic series. However we try to have as many of the charming and unique characters of the past 20 years of the sonic series in the game, ex. Tails, knuckels or shadow. In some missions you can play minigames with the friends of sonic."
Interviewer: "Talking about minigames with friends: how does it look with multiplayer, what can we expect there?"
Iizuka: "No, The playstation 3 and xbox 360 are singleplayer only. The nintendo 3DS, which is developing in the same time, will be multiplayer through wifi."
Interviewer: "will there be a Wii U version?"
Iizuka: "Too bad, no. Sonic generations is only for the Playstation 3, xbox 360 and the 3DS"
- Sonic's friends gather at a picnic to celebrate his 20th anniversary
- a mysterious dark force intrudes and sends everyone, Sonic included, back in time
- while trying to find a way back home, Sonic bumps into classic Sonic and classic friends as well
