SEGA of America and Europe president Mike Hayes has conceded that Sonic 4: Episode 1 had its problems, but that the next instalment should rectify them.

“I know there were some quality issues that we had there that we’ve taken on board and there will be further episodes following up on that,” he told Giantbomb. “I think the next one’s excellent. I think that’s going to overcome some of the issues that we had on the first one.”

Despite a somewhat frosty response from the notoriously hard-to-please Sonic fan community, Episode 1, commercially, was “hugely successful across all platforms”.

It’s therefore no surprise that further episodes will continue to be rolled out as planned.
