Sonic Creator Yuji Naka Dreaming of Dreamcast 2

Ever miss the days when Sega was a major player in the hardware market? So does original Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka. At a London event promoting the European release of Ivy the Kiwi, the Prope founder said he hopes to one day collaborate with one of the three platform holders on a new console.

"I'm hoping to work on Dreamcast 2," the former Sonic Team head told CVG, adding, "I do miss those old days when I was heavily involved in hardware making at Sega. I was involved in most of the consoles and controllers that Sega came up with."

Naka continued, "It would be ideal if I could become some sort of advisor working with the platform makers in future. I think if I can work really well with the platform makers then it's good for everyone, because I can then come up with totally new games."

"If Ivy the Kiwi does well in Europe then maybe I can make Dreamcast 2," he laughed. "Of course Dreamcast was my baby back at Sega and I want to carry on making good games for the European market and one day I'm hoping it gives me the opportunity to work on Dreamcast 2."

I honestly felt the 1st x-block was the DC2 incarnation. those original blocky controllers looked like a possible DC2 prototype. anyways, Ivy the Kiw looks so cute!

Tweeg:
Interesting, and rather encouraging to know that a big name in the gaming industry is still publicly willing to go on record as desiring to see new Sega hardware.
