Sonic Colors “not really a game for the core gamers,” says producer

This information comes from Sonic Colors producer Takashi Iizuka…
“We know there are sometimes opinions about control from core gamers, but we’re intending Sonic Colours to be played by children of probably between six and twelve years-old. So, with Sonic Colours we have aimed more to make a game that everyone can control and have fun in. So, it’s not really a game for the core gamers. If you take the rail grind, it’s something that’s fast, not difficult but is fun to do and looks great. It’s about making a game that’s right for the core audience of the game.”
Even if this is true, I don’t know why Iizuka would say something like that. Such comments could very easily alienate hardcore Sonic fans who have been interested in purchasing the game. With that said, I suppose a well-made Sonic gamed aimed at children is better than a low-quality release. That is, if Sonic Colors is actually decent!
