Shun Nakamura is the producer of Sonic Forces
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 7 Comments
On his personal Twitter page, SEGA’s Shun Nakamura announced that he is the producer of Sonic Forces. Let’s talk about his previous roles at the company.
Most will likely attach Nakamura to the very disappointing Sonic the Hedgehog title from 2006, as he was the game’s director. He’s done much more than that, however. Nakamura was also the director of Samba de Amigo, Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure, and Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg. Nakamura was involved with a number of previous Sonic games as well.

Flatout 4 publisher on Switch version: “It’s certainly possible”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 9 Comments
Flatout 4 has a decent shot of landing on Switch. While speaking with One Angry Gamer, Susan Cummings from publisher Strategy First said that “It’s certainly possible.”
“It’s certainly possible. It’s definitely something Strategy First have been watching with interest – the early success of the Switch. I wouldn’t say anything is out of the question.”
Flatout 4’s chances on Switch could come down to the system’s sales and interest from the community. On the former point at least, the platform seems to be performing well on the market so far.
