Hell Yeah! Given Blessing by Sonic Team

SEGA offer Arkedo Studios, developers of bizarre 2D platformer Hell Yeah! a meeting with Sonic Team!

In what's bound to only be good news for upcoming PC, PSN and XBLA platformer Hell Yeah!, SEGA's own Sonic Team has given Arkedo Studios its blessing.

In an interview with Eurogamer, Arkedo's boss Camille Guermonprez stated that he was given an opportunity to meet with Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka, and he wasn't going to turn it down:

"Sega said, would you like to have a meeting with the Sonic Team? Hell yeah! F**k, why not? Let's do that. We saw the two main guys of Sonic Team, they played the game and then we asked, what makes it a very bad Gaijin game? What sucks?

"They said, not a lot sucks, but you should pay attention to what happens when you're jumping, the stop and go, the inertia you have when you're jumping on platforms. You should add this little thing, this little thing...

"We said, hey yeah, it's much better. Thank you very much. That's the craftsmanship. Those guys, they are bright yellow, they glow. Okay, this guy knows what he's talking about. We loved it."

In fact, Sonic Team were so impressed with what they saw, they raised a toast to Arkedo during a dinner. Camille said:

"They even raised a glass of champagne after playing the game. That's something we'll never forget. We went for supper with them. The first day it was like, okay, we don't know you. That was normal, because they hadn't play it. Then they played and said, okay, good job, and cheers. That was important for us."

Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is scheduled to launch on PC, PSN and XBLA this Summer.
