Sonic Team: Naka Talks ChuChu Rocket!

Below was sent to me by shake__0@fastmail.fm and is from EGM issue #181 and on page 96:

I would like to take advantage of the many DS features. It’s a new
genre… Otherwise, it’s all secret. The PSP is very interesting
hardware, and I love all platforms. I like to innovate and experiment.
So, I’m thinking of creating more titles that will be exclusive and use
that system’s features. Chu Chu Rocket would be a suitable game to
play with the DS’ touch panel. Nintendo asked me about making a Chu Chu
Rocket for the DS, so that would be a nice project. But I can’t say
whether or not I will do it. – Yuji Naka
