The long-running Sonic the Hedgehog franchise continues to gain popularity and despite 35 years of the blue blur, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka, believes that the series is only halfway to its full potential. The team initially had extremely high goals when it came to SEGA’s 2D mascot back in the day, but with a mixed bag of 3D games the Sonic Team hasn’t had that critically acclaimed breakout hit. However, they will continue to do their best to strive to get there and good luck to them.
“To be honest, we believe that Sonic is still only halfway to reaching its full potential. When we created the first Sonic the Hedgehog, the development team at the time used to say, ‘Let’s aim for Disney.’ When I first joined Sega, I was also told to dream big… things like, ‘Use Sonic to surpass Disney’ and ‘One day, we’ll build a theme park.’
“Thirty-five years have passed, but we haven’t quite gotten there yet. Now that we’ve brought the movie to life, we want to share the appeal of Sonic with even more people who haven’t yet played the Sonic game series.”
