Sonic Creator Left Sega to Avoid Making More Sonic Games

[lunax69]

Since everyone seems to forget about how many sonic games there are heres a list. Sonic 1,2,3,4, Sonic Chaos (Sonic and Tails), Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic and Tails 2, Sonic Blast, Sonic The Hedgehog Pocket Adventure, Sonic Advance 1,2,3, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure. Sonic 3D, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Sonic Heroes, Sonic The Hedgehog (2006 Release), Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and The Black Knight, Sonic Generations, Sonic Colors.
And lets not forget the like 50 other spin-offs, other characters games, mobile games and racing games....

TL;DR Sonic has ~100 games, not 6 or 8.

He wouldn't have had to have made Sonic games anymore anyway. Most of the sonic games made by Sega in his last years weren't headed by him anyway. He chose to make Sonic's Adventure because he wanted to make a Sonic RPG, but SA2 was made by the Sega Institute in America if I recall correctly.

There have only been like 6 Sonic games though...

Sonic 1, 2, 3, DX, adventure 2 battle + generations

8. You forgot Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic Colours.

What about Secret Rings, Unleashed, Sonic 06, Black Knight etc?

The difference with Miyamoto, Anouma and Kojima is that all 3 of them did amazing games and are still making amazing games, as for Sonic, well, it's no secret that it had better days, but at least Colors and Generations were awesome.

With a list like that anyone would be tired.

"Miyamoto has been making Mario games," Naka continues. "He has to keep on making Mario games. [Eiji] Aonuma has to keep making Zelda games. [Hideo] Kojima has to make Metal Gear games. I wish he could take that off of everyone's shoulders so they could create other stuff, like new stuff. Because that's healthier for the industry."

He really does make it sound like some type of literal hell, doesn't he? "Miyamoto has to keep on making Mario games." As though he's been damned for enternity to be forced into churning out one Mario game after another. Like he's being held captive.

I've never heard of those games, they sound pretty broken and awful, like they'd have badly implemented controls, poor design choice or be just plain unfinished though!

"One of the reasons I left Sega was, if I stayed there, I would have had to just make Sonic games," Naka said. "Right now I don't have to make Sonic anymore, so I'm enjoying that freedom a lot."

I'll admit. I freaking lol-ed

I heard Secret Rings wasn't horrible. I don't really play Sonic though.

I found it pretty horrible tbh, it was different but different doesn't mean good.

We don't talk about them.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather they didn't exist at all.

yeah it wasn't bad but it was annoying. it had some kind of auto scroll crap where you had to tilt the controller forward and try to jump before you hit something. I did't really feel like I was controlling sonic at all. The game also had some kind of objective based thing that had you going around in circles till you found "X" number of things.

I feel really bad for the people working at Capcom now

You should

There's a reason all the big name talent left the company already.

Thank you for sharing that link, I always enjoy seeing worker ants tell the public what's really going on and decide to be so transparent. Hospitalization is a bit far, but without Capcom behaving this way we wouldn't have Platinum Games and other great developments.

OT: All the luck to Naka, I hope for his sake that he can create a character or a franchise with impact and staying power (but not so much that it repeats a cycle?)
