Iizuka stated that 2011 would be devoted to Sonic’s 20th anniversary celebration, which includes this fall’sSonic Generations, and that anything else would come afterwards. There are also no plans at the moment for a third episode, which probably wouldn’t appear for another decade anyway, given historical precedence....

I’ve mentioned on several occasions that my family lived in Japan for a few years, thus my first games console was not an NES but a Famicom. I grew up playing the Japanese versions of famed Nintendo classics, and it was only once we moved to the States and I visited friends’ homes that I realized just how different my experiences had been. So many things I thought I knew were flipped on their head....

Up until now, we knew there were cats and that they would do things which cats do, but it turns out that the game is essentially a simulator of keeping cats in a home.
