First I'll get this out so I can attract your attention. Yes it's confirmed you can backtrack by the new director of this game. I thank big_smile from GHZ forums for this info...
The latest issue of UK publication Nintendo Official Magazine includes a 6 page feature on Sonic Wildfire.
Despite being billed as an ‘exclusive preview’, few new details are revealed in the article. It does however contain an interview with director Ogawa Yojiro and a small selection of new screenshots.
Yojiro, who previously worked on Gems Collection and Kimishine mostly regurgitates the contents of previous press releases in the interview. He does, however, reveal that he is planning a new Wii game which will take “full advantage of the… controller”. Suggesting that new game may not be connected to Sonic, he describes it as “whole new title that no one has ever seen”. He hopes to start working on the mysterious project after completing WildFire.
Moving back to the present, Yojiro states that the story of WildFire will be different from existing games. Amusingly, he then hints that Eggman may not be the villain, which has been a trend in recent games.
The article details the new control system. Those worried that the title may be too linear will be pleased learn that Sonic is able to backtrack.
