SEGA has just posted the above Sonic CD developer diary video on their blog. In the video Sonic Team Art Director Kazuyuki Hoshino gives an insight into the creation of Sonic CD‘s logo, characters, enemies, bosses and stages. It’s an interesting watch, and even features some never-before-seen concept sketches.

Thanks to StrickerX-mas at the SSMB for the heads up!
This is absolutely fascinating. I know that SEGA is very careful about releasing this kind of stuff.
The “Round 8” comment pretty much confirms that there is indeed a scrapped stage.
Pretty cool, also Sonic CD comes out on PSN this Wednesday (Sorry, I can’t do News Tips on this phone).
SEGA’s responded to that US PlayStation site listing on Twitter and said that there are no official dates yet, so, to be safe, I’m waiting for them to give the official words.

Alright 🙂 I hope it comes out next week or so.
Fantastic insight, i really hope we get to see some more concept art.
Also, makes me wish this had came out before i had done my contest picture. Ah well.
Anyone know when this Sonic CD finally gets released? I can see it on the XBL dashboard on the Arcade section but there isn’t the option to highlight the download button, it’s like it was meant to come out on the 7th December but got held up because of the new update or something…
Interesting video, didn’t know Classic Amy had only 5 head quills.
Yes, that caught me by surprised as I thought she had 6.
But it makes sense cause her Modern design has 5 head quills,
I only found out after F4F did her sculpt because i never looked properly at her reference sheet.
I always did wonder WHY Sega decided to remove Amy’s back quil. o_O
The first time I ever saw her in Sonic Advance 3, I thought she was supposed to be a cat or some other animal! XD
Now that.. Was a very interesting commentary. Can’t wait for the Sonic CD download and the winners for the contest!
Should make for a fun Saturday
Cool video I love the concept art.I always wanted to be a concept artist and I love Amy’s classic desgin.
Did no one else notice the massive pile of rocks in the back round? What the hell is up with that?
He’s probably a pet rock collecter. XD
Oh my God; thank you! I thought I was the only person going mental over the fact that there is no explanation as to why he is in a room filled with rocks!
