Sonic was born in the 90s , being created by Naoto Oshima , during a small competition between SEGA game designers, in a team called AM-8, which is currently the Sonic Team. His initial name was Mr. Needlemouse , and he was soon developed with some of his most recognized characteristics to this day, such as his super speed and his spins.
After all the planning was finalized, Sonic Team director Yuji Naka was responsible for developing the entire game of the blue hedgehog. It is exactly for this reason that many people end up confusing who was the true creator of the character Sonic .
Its first game was released on June 23, 1991, ” Sonic the Hedgehog “. The game soon became a success, gaining several other successors that were popular with the public, such as “Sonic the Hedgehog 2”, “Sonic & Knuckles”, “Sonic CD” and “Sonic Adventure”. This was the time responsible for consolidating the brand in the history of games .
Since its 10th anniversary, the Sonic franchise and SEGA have been receiving numerous criticisms from experts due to the numerous bugs present in the games. To improve the quality of its titles, the developer decided to hire the companies Sumo Digital and Bioware to help create its games.
The blue hedgehog returned to the market in 2008, with “Sonic Unleashed”, which did not have a proposal that pleased the public so much. However, it was with “Sonic Colors”, in 2010, that the brand began to return to the top. The title received numerous positive reviews, as well as very good ratings from experts and the press.
