SEGA delays Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode I, "wants to ensure quality"

SEGA has told Strategy Informer that it’s ”incredibly happy at the overwhelmingly positive response” to Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode I from both fans and the press. Because of this positive feedback, SEGA has decided to delay the release of Episode 1 to ensure that the game gets the highest level of quality possible.

”The additional development time will allow for more careful focus on the design of each level and to provide additional polish that an important game like this demands, ultimately providing fans with an unrivalled classic Sonic feel.” said a SEGA spokesperson.

Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode I will now release in the latter half of 2010. We can’t wait, can you?
