Eurogamer speaks to Sega president Shuji Utsumi to hear his plans to recapture the essence of what made Sega so spicy compared to Nintendo's safe alternative.
Sega needed a comeback. He’s right that a lot of Sega has been conservative for the last few years, but when AAA studios are shitting the bed left and right, companies like Sega and Nintendo manage to capture the magic of gaming like an indie developer can still.
I’ve already appreciated the amount of “fun” Sega brings to the table. Some classic IPs are absolutely batshit too like Kid Chameleon, Vector Man, Virtual On, Comix Zone. There’s so many unique experiences they can make from them.
Hopefully they can maintain focus on fun like a smaller studio but still deliver polished big products.
