Dear Reader:
Naka - Mario and Sonic series was my idea, still more that Sonic series can do
Sonic creator Yuji Naka was the man behind the Mario and Sonic series, so he says…
“It was actually my idea, and I was the one who approached Nintendo about it. I thought it would be fascinating to see the two heroes play together or play against each other, so that was exactly what I wanted. So I don’t feel anything funny about that at all,.” - Yuji Naka
Naka also went on to talk a bit more about Sonic, and how he feels there’s more that can be done with the franchise.
“Since I left SEGA I don’t really follow the series too closely. I believe there are many more things that Sonic can do, so I’m very much looking forward to future Sonic series. I believe in SEGA and the Sonic Team as well, so I’m sure they will continue making fascinating Sonic series forever.”
