SEGA Ages kicked off on Switch back in September 2018 with Sonic the Hedgehog. Just a couple of months ago, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was finally made available as well. Although there’s currently nothing on the horizon, other entries in the series for Switch may not be out of the question in the future.
In a interview with Game Watch earlier this year, SEGA’s Yosuke Okunari was asked if games like Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, and even the arcade title SegaSonic the Hedgehog are possible for re-release. Okunari indicated that there aren’t any set plans, but if the initial collection of SEGA Ages titles is determined to be a success, it’s something the team would like to consider.
Okunari’s full words:
If there’s one thing Tom Nook is known for in the Animal Crossing series, it’s the debts he collects. Players need to pay off loans to expand their house, which is a mechanic that carries over into the series’ latest entry. But although some may look at Tom Nook as a character primarily interested in money, the developers behind Animal Crossing feels he’s just misunderstood.
New Horizons producer Hisashi Nogami mentioned to The Verge that “Tom Nook is a very caring, really great guy.” Since he’s an adult, “he’s very careful with money.”
Several new games out came out this week on the eShop. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.
