Takeshi Sakakibara, who served as the lead programmer on Shadow the Hedgehog, is interviewed in the Sonic Team creator section. Most of the questions asked are fairly trivial but he does reveal that he is currently working on an unannounced next-generation title.

^ Sakakibara’s favourite character is Rouge and he spends his free time driving around America.
After completing Shadow the Hedgehog, the team had a 3 month holiday.
The Sonic Team USA section reflects on E3. Somewhat amusingly, Wild Fire is being promoted as another return to the roots of the original Sonic the Hedgehog. The section also includes a brief profile on Jun Senoue and a competition to win a copy of the American Sonic Heroes strategy guide.
