These days, it’s easy to associate Sonic with Nintendo. The character has appeared in Olympics games with Mario, and SEGA even partnered with the big N on some exclusive games. During the early ’90s, however, things were much different as Mario and Sonic were pretty big rivals.

Game Informer put up a new piece today about how Sonic eventually landed on Nintendo platforms following SEGA’s exit from the gaming hardware business. It contains some interesting quotes from the likes of creator Yuji Naka, Sonic developer Takashi Iizuka, and even Shigeru Miyamoto.

Read up on some noteworthy comments below. You can find Game Informer’s article here for more.

In the latest episode of Nyannyan Neko Mario Time, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were briefly featured. There was a tiny bit of footage showing Alolan Exeggutor, and we’re actually able to see the new move known as “Dragon Hammer”. In the gameplay clip, Exeggcute was taken down in a single hit.

For now, that’s all we know. You can see Dragon Hammer at the end of the video below.
