Sonic creator's latest on Tap for summer

At E3 2006, Yuji Naka announced that he was leaving Sega to start his own development studio, Prope. The Sonic the Hedgehog creator's intent at the time was to create "near future entertainment." Two and a half years later, the developer's entertainment product is finally set for release in the near future.

Sega announced today that it would be bringing Prope's Let's Tap to North American and European Wii owners this summer. Embracing the Wii's motion-sensing controller, Let's Tap is played by placing the Wii Remote face down on a flat surface such as a box, and then tapping the surface to create small vibrations.

Let's Tap features five different modes that can accommodate up to four players competing in a variety of challenges, from running stick figures through an obstacle course to pulling blocks out of a precarious stack without tipping it over.
