Yuji Naka from the original 1991 game, still expresses his uncertainty in the movie's design. Thankfully, to a lesser extent.

Naka's Tweet: “The design is much più Sonic-like now that he’s wearing gloves. However, his eyes still aren’t joined together, as expected. I can’t help but feel weird about that one point. But I’m looking inoltrare, avanti to the movie’s release.”

However, what was peculiarly interesting, was the fact that Naka expressed his want to see the original film on DVD!?~ It seems there is something a father finds in any version of their child, even an ugly one.

Speaking of dads, Naoto Ohshima seems right at home with the new design. Posting retweets of Hesse's tweets in positive light.

In 1991, Naoto developed several designs before Naka Yuji and Sega decided on a quilly hedgehog Ohshima had created along side that of an armadillo. Today, it is good to see him happily designing and looking inoltrare, avanti to this feature film despite its up and downs!~
