Flynn: "We already had Sonic and Mega Man square off in "Worlds Collide" and proved how equally heroic, powerful and blue they are. This time around, we don't need to spend the time establishing them. We can dive right into the heroics - or villainy, in the cast of Act One! I'm really excited we get to dive deeper into MEGA MAN X after dabbling in it earlier. It's loads of fun pairing X's stoic earnestness with Sticks's goofy conspiratorial nature. Just between these four, we've got a huge range of tones and character that are fun to play off each other."

Flynn: "On the SEGA side of things, we've got the original company mascot in Alex Kidd. When we were putting together the list of franchises to feature, I knew he had to be on the top. Sonic maybe synonymous with SEGA now, but it's only because Alex paved the way for him. And on the other end of the spectrum is Billy Hatcher, the lively and original platforming hero that was the last major new IP for SEGA - at least in the realm of platform heroes like Sonic and Alex. On the Capcom side, we've got the entire party from Breath of Fire 3, arguably the best of the franchise. (I leave the fans to debate how correct/heretical I am). And Viewtiful Joe is as wild and colorful as any franchise out there, which makes it a perfect fit for this cross-world adventure!"

Flynn: "On the one hand we've got two iconic franchises on opposite ends of the timeline. Golden Axe was one of the first major SEGA hits and is a classic for its arcade-y action and crazy visuals. NiGHTS into Dreams is comparatively newer, even more psychedelic, and stands out as one of the premier titles of the SEGA Saturn era. On the other hand we've got a Capcom classic and a newer masterpiece. Ghosts 'n Goblins is one of those games that set the bar for all others to reach for in terms of quality and gameplay. Frustrating, hair-tearing gameplay - but we love it for its difficulty. And then you have Okami that transcends gaming and becomes 'art' in its own right."
