NiGHTS fans can be a persuasive bunch– just ask Sumo Digital Executive Producer Steve Lycett, who engaged them during the development of the fan-friendly combat-racing game Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.

SEGA is a Japanese company, right? Of course they are…aren’t they? Well, you would be surprised to learn that when SEGA was started in 1940, they were actually from the other side of the pacific.
