3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is heading to the Japanese 3DS eShop on July 22. We already heard that the game supports local co-op, and now some information has surfaced about a new mode.

SEGA and M2 have added the “Ring Keep” mode to 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2. This has players starting a stage with 10 rings, though that amount is halved each time you take damage. It’s a small but nice addition for those looking for an extra challenge!

This week’s issue of Famitsu contains an interview with SEGA CEO and president Haruki Satomi.

At one point during the discussion, Satomi mentioned that the company has “learned a lot from Atlus”, which SEGA acquired in 2013. He also spoke about how SEGA is really pushing the idea of quality.

Satomi stated:

“As far as the Western market goes, we learned a lot from Atlus. If we can make a title with proper quality, I believe there’s a good chance for it to do well even in the West for players that like to play Japanese games.”

“I’ve been talking to the employees about how we should start putting serious consideration into quality from this point on. Especially in North America and Europe, where it’s always been more of a focus on schedules, I believe that if we can’t maintain quality, it would be better to not release anything at all.”

“We did our best to build a relationship of mutual trust with older fans of Sega, but looking back, there’ve been some titles that have partially betrayed that [trust] in the past 10 years.”

“Since we’re seriously considering quality, I can’t make that promise for the time being, but I believe we will announce something for home console at Tokyo Game Show.”

Famitsu ends its talk with Satomi by asking what fans can look forward to in the future.

“SEGA in the ‘90s was known for its ‘brand, but after that, we’ve lost trust, and we were left with nothing but ‘reputation. For this reason, we’d like to win back the customers’ trust, and become a ‘brand,’ once again.”

Sonic is celebrating his 25th anniversary/birthday next year. With that in mind, fans are starting to wonder about what SEGA could have in store for the Blur Blur’s big year.

We won’t be hearing about anything this year, but Sonic the Hedgehog’s PR and social media manager Aaron Webber told SEGAbits that “there’s definitely stuff in the works”. Information will be shared early next year.
