Nobuya Ohashi

Sonic Origins how it came to be

Two of the primary developers behind Sonic Origins have briefly discussed how the release came together. Producer Nobuya Ohashi, along with director Katsuyuki Shigihara, chatted with Japanese magazine Famitsu in a recent interview.

With Ohashi, he started out by explaining that SEGA had renewed interest in focusing on the Sonic IP, but things picked up even further after the popularity of the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie. He said:

At E3 2019, Dengeki was given an opportunity to interview Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 producer Nobuya Ohashi. Ohashi weighed in on a number of different topics, including the controls and using the Joy-Con, the game’s roster, and new elements included this time around.

We’ve now prepared a full translation of Dengeki’s discussion with Ohashi. Read the full discussion below.
