SEGA - Wii U is the perfect fit for Sonic, considering how to utilize controller

"The Wii was an extremely successful platform. It was totally global. It went into the families that maybe would not have picked up a home console before. It created that living room experience with families, and it had great success. Now, adding the controller, and in a sense upgrading the Wii, it has got potential to further that and increase its customer base. I feel Sonic is the right fit because it is that kind of family experience game. I do feel Wii U is applicable to Sonic. But how we will apply using the controller to Sonic is something we're still thinking about at the moment." - SEGA's Takashi Iizuka

While not stated in the blurb above, Iizuka did say that Sonic is the perfect fit for the Wii U. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something announced at E3!
