SEGA says Sonic is “the right fit” on Wii U, still thinking about the controller
One day, we’ll see Sonic on Wii U. It’s inevitable. The franchise did experience a fair amount of success on the Wii, and Sonic started to return to form with Sonic Colors.
Team Sonic boss Takashi Iizuka told Eurogamer that the series “is the right fit because it is that kind of family experience game.” However, SEGA is still thinking about how to “apply using the controller to Sonic”.
Iizuka said:
“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.”
