Sega has had its ups and downs over the years, but perhaps the most difficult moment in its history was the company’s exit from the console market in 2001. There have also been several new franchises that have captured the hearts of Sega fans around the world.
One of the newer IPs, especially around the early 2000s, was Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, which debuted as a GameCube exclusive in 2003. The 3D platformer was directed by Shun Nakamura (Sonic Frontier, Sonic Adventure, Samba de Amigo) and was well received by both gamers and fans. Unfortunately, the title was a commercial failure with no follow-up.
If you’ve ever wanted a new entry or sequel, you’re not alone. Sega’s producer and Sonic his team’s game designer, he recently highlighted an official post on Sega’s Official Retro his social media Twitter page, “Sega Forever,” which featured Billy his Hatcher. You mentioned that you are absolutely thrilled with your “new adventure”.
Shun Nakamura: “Someday, hopefully, I’d like to have his new adventure.”
Fan reaction on social media to the possible return of Billy Hatcher was so positive that Nakamura decided to share a follow-up tweet, showing off the game’s map design.
Besides most recently joining Sonic Frontiers as an assistant producer, he is also known for his involvement in several unique releases, including the 1999 rhythm game Samba de Amigo and the 2012 3DS title Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure. increase. In 2017, I also touched on the idea of making a Samba de his amigo for the Nintendo Switch.
