Just sayin’…
–
“This is a similar title to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, but the similarity comes from the concept – keeping the tempo very fluid. A similar concept applies here. Is it the best since then? We always strive to make the best Sonic game yet. It’s at least on a par with Sonic Adventure Battle 2, and I’m confident it is one of the best Sonic games ever.” – Sonic Colors’ Producer Takashi Iizuka

Hmm… I admit that Sonic Colors looks like it has a lot of promise, but I don’t know that I’d go so far as to say it could be one of the best Sonic games ever. I mean, you’re looking at going against classics like Sonic 2 and Sonic 3; those games aren’t easy to live up to!

On the other hand, he also said Sonic Adventure 2 Battle was a very fluid game, so we know how much he knows!

I kid, I kid…

– Team Ninja head Yousuke Hayashi wasn’t told about the 3DS’ 3D when Nintendo showed him the hardware for the first time
– Hayashi believed the 3DS could handle a fighting game well
– After Hayashi learned about the 3D, he thought that aspect would make an even more amazing product
– Better to say that the game started with the desire to bring Dead or Alive to a handheld rather than make it 3D
– 3D development was a learning experience for Hayashi
– Hayashi feels that 3D is more about showing depth rather than having objects popping out of the screen: “It’s a method for showing things realistically.”
– More dynamic elements in stages (in reference to being able to run into objects, objects falling off cliffs)
– Team Ninja wants to start the Dead or Alive franchise again, Dimensions is a part of this
– Characters everyone expects will be in the game
– No release time frame yet
– Development progressing smoothly

“I’ve thought from before that there was great potential for fighting games played on a portable game machine. However, the reality was that there was no hardware that matched this. When I first saw the 3DS, I felt that with this performance, it could be done.”
