Yuji Naka interested in Rodea: The Sky Soldier, Ivy the Kiwi sequels & other media

A portion of a HardcoreGamer interview with Yuji Naka...

HCG: Archie has adapted many of your creations like Sonic and NiGHTS into Dreams. Would you like to see a Rodea comic book series?

YN: If I am given the opportunity, I would love to have Rodea as a comic book series. I also personally want to see more of Rodea’s adventures.

HCG: Rodea appears to be a spiritual successor to NiGHTS. Has a 2D platformer been considered?

YN: Because the concept of Rodea was to fly around the sky in 360 degrees, we believed it would fit best in 3D. If I can think of a game that can only be expressed in 2D, I would probably create a 2D action game.

HCG: Since the formation of PROPE, many of your projects have been standalone games. Is there any intention of making sequels to games like Ivy the Kiwi or Rodea, or are you more interested in coming up with brand new ideas?

YN: Ivy the Kiwi and Rodea are two titles that have a special part in my heart, so I would love to try creating sequels if I am given the opportunity. I constantly have ideas for new titles. Though I cannot say them here, please look forward to the day I can show them to the public.
