Sonic Frontiers director Morio Kishimoto has revealed that the game has taken inspiration from the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
Kishimoto spoke about this in a new interview with IGN. He admitted that combat was never really a focus in the series until now, “but the movie showed us an entirely new approach.” The film’s take on Sonic “became a huge inspiration for Sonic Frontiers’ development,” he said.
A fresh set of details have emerged about Kid Kirby, a game that was once planned for the SNES.
DMA Design, the studio that went on to become Rockstar North and a primary developer of the Grand Theft Auto series, was put in charge of the project. It would have featured the SNES Mouse add-on with players using the device to launch Kirby through levels. Unfortunately, Nintendo ended up scrapping the project after development failed to properly progress, and the SNES Mouse was far from a sales success.
The Galactic Junkers now has a release date, and the game is just a couple of weeks away. Publisher Green Man Gaming Publishing and developer Evil Twin Artworks have confirmed that the comedic action-adventure space combat title will be available for Switch on June 30, 2022.
The Galactic Junkers was only just revealed for Switch last month. It was given a general 2022 release window at the time.
