Siliconera spoke to Bob Rafei, CEO of Big Red Button, about Sonic Team’s reaction to the Wii U game, running in 3D space, and how Eggman fits in alongside a new villain.

Sonic Boom is a departure from both classic 2D Sonic the Hedgehog and the 3D games like Sonic Adventure. The Wii U version developed by Big Red Button plays more like a platformer where Sonic kicks robot butt.

Sonic Boom actually runs on a modified version of Cryengine 3 that allows the engine to execute split-screen gaming, which it isn’t normally capable of.
