Originally published in Nintendo Dream #107, this interview with Sega director Takashi Iizuka discusses the making of Sonic Heroes, successor to the Sonic Adventure series and Sega's first multi-platform, third-party 3D Sonic game. The talk largely focuses on Sonic Team USA, the US-based but primarily Japanese-staffed branch of Sonic Team that developed or supervised most of the Sonic games released from 1999 to 2008.
