		Presiding over the game's development will be none other than Yuji Naka, who, along with character designer Naoto Ohshima, created the original Sonic game for the Sega Genesis in 1991.
		And finally, an article from IGN regarding next-gen Sonic, revealing that Naoto Oshima will return to work on it:
		Currently using the codename, "Sonic the Hedgehog," the new polygon-pushing platformer was announced as a re-imagining of the franchise with its inspiration being drawn from the original series.

		It becomes far too easy to mess up and keep dying over and over- for less skilled gamers, interpret that to say 'RENT FIRST'.
		Naoto Oshima created the orange bugger, and interestingly he also designed Sonic the Hedgehog.
		In fact the visual style throughout this game, from the design of menu's to the style of art throughout the game reminded me of classic Sega.

		Naoto Oshima, Sonic's original artist and assistant in level design had left Sonic Team shortly after the completion of the first Sonic Adventure.
		Apparently, Oshima had wanted to create and head his own small software company.
		So, when compared to the current work of the company he left, Oshima's newest contribution to the world of furry-game characters leaves me very impressed.

		NAOTO OSHIMA was the spirit, thats why after SA1 Sonic games started to suck, because Oshima was a vital, if not the most Important member of Sonic Team.
		Oshima seeing that Naka was made Ruler of Sonic Team and He was treated like Nothing, was enraged and didnt get along with Naka.
		Naoto Oshima was an integral part to last generation Sonic.

	Blue Dragon Progress Report
		Oshima himself is primarily known as the artist who designed the Sonic the Hedgehog character back in the 16-bit days. Oshima reveals to the magazine that development on Blue Dragon is currently 40% complete.
		Sakaguchi goes a bit deeper, stating that 95% of the basic specifications are in place and that it would be possible at this point to make a demo featuring an event scene and battles. Xbox Live will have a role in the game.
		It turns out that Artoon's experience with action games will actually come to play in the title, as the team is working its expertise into the game's speed, responsiveness and tempo. In case you haven't been keeping up, Blue Dragon is a full-fledged Japanese RPG focusing on a group of five characters and their shadows.

		The first character they came up with was a rabbit-like being with long ears that could extend and pick up objects and then throw them at his enemies, but it proved difficult to execute and the concept eventually went nowhere.
		Looking at the rough sketches one bright April day, Naka remarked to fellow team member Naoto Oshima that what was needed was something fast.
		One of Naoto Oshima's early Sonic sketches - courtesy Jared Gibbon Sonic's very look defined his attitude, so Naka built his new game to showcase as much of AM8's new star as he could.

		Naoto Oshima, who designed the characters, preferred intricate level structure, while Yuji Naka, the lead programmer, wanted the speed.
		You can see this play out as they were both given their own Sonic sequels: Oshima with Sonic CD, Naka with Sonic 2 and S3K.
		I happen to think that Sonic CD and S3K are both superior to the original, but there's no denying the appeal of that first discovery.

		That was when Sega assigned Yuji Naka, a programmer with many succesful games completed, such as Ghouls 'N Ghosts and Phantasy Star, to team up with Naoto Oshima, a character designer, to dream up Sega's new mascot.
		Originally, Naka and Oshima imagined their new character to be fast, and have enough mobility to pick up objects.
		Yuji Naka and Naoto Oshima believed they had a winner in Sonic the Hedgehog, and the general reaction from Sega was positive, and Sonic went ahead as planned.

		Naoto Oshima: He was the original design artist who drew the "rabbit" prototype of Sonic and eventually tuned it up to the hedgehog we all know today.
		One thing i do know is that he's been around in Sega since the late 80's-early 90's and one game that is credited to him is called Ristar (something about a star that could stretch and such).
		Yuji Naka created the engine and the game concept, but he also needed Oshima's help in bringing a recognizable face to it.

	Videolamer: Editorials - Yuji Naka to leave Sega?
		His programming wizardry combined with Naoto Oshima edgy and xtreme character design and Hirokazu Yasuhara’s excellent level design (hold right to win) created a game that arguably made Sega what it is today.
		For every Tetsuya Mizuguchi (who left Sega’s United Game Artists after they were forced to merge with Sonic Team and formed Q Entertainment) there is a Naoto Oshima (who helped form the not so successful Artoon).
		Naka is risking a lot by leaving his very high position in Sega, but perhaps it will allow him to do what he really wants without any restrictions on his creativity.
