Sega Burning Rangers May Ride Again

Sonic Team USA, Takashi Iizuka told Games Radar in a recent interview “we’ll see” about a sequel to popular Sega Saturn title Burning Rangers.

Iizuka said: “It’s not my title, so I can’t comment. But I hear there is a lot of demand for a sequel, to bring out Burning Rangers on Wii so… we’ll see.”

Iizuka interviewed with GamesRadar at the Wii Flat in London to talk about NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams on Wii, another of Sonic Team’s Saturn titles. The title will feature voice acting. NiGHT’s voice will be androgynous to allow the player to decide whether the character is male or female. One interesting thing about the upcoming game; although all four controller options are available for the game the developers prefer to use the Gamecube controller for it.

Iizuka told us: “Personally I prefer using the Wii-remote on its own – you just fly. You feel like you’re flying, moving more smoothly just with the sensation and freedom of it. But the team use the Gamecube controller because it’s so similar to the feel of the original 3D controller. The analogue stick is shorter and more like the Saturn pad.”

I guess old habits die hard.
