I heard he's a good programmer, but was somewhat cocky and difficult to work with.
He also seemed to really hate working with Americans (couldn't get along with American developers while making Sonic 2, requested to work with an all-Japanese team for Sonic 3, treatened to quit SEGA if they allowed STI to use his NIGHTS engine for Sonic X-treme, threw a fit when SOA president Peter Moore showed SOJ a focus group about what Americans think of SEGA in the early 2000s).
There's also some curious anecdotes about Naka, like this one from STI developer Ken Rose during Sonic 2's development:
>They had a birthday party for Naka. (this was before he started just refusing to interact with Americans) Somebody had ordered a Sonic-shaped cake. When it was time to cut the cake, he took the knife in his fist and slowly pushed it straight down through Sonic's chest.

autism but more than likely a heavy dose of japanese exceptionalism. you have to remember, the early 90s were still a time where japan was seen as the world's rising star and could soon rival the US.

Not him but he is right, western devs, specially the ones making genesis games, would never make a sonic tier game for it. DKC probably was the first good western fourth gen game.

One of Sonic the Hedgehog's co-creators. He created Sonic and Dr. Eggman's designs.
> why does Naka hates him?
Naka got kicked out of Balan Wonderworld's development, supposedly for making "unreasonable work demands". He also found out Oshima was in favor of having Naka kicked out, which is what caused the latter to post the picture seen in >>12349524

The only reason he got caught is that SE pulled him off of Balan Wonderworld without his consent and he retaliated by blaming senior SE staff and Ohshima for the state of the game. Naka is known to be a dickhead, especially to Americans like Cerny and Craig Stitt, one of the few American artists on Sonic 2, but I'm guessing nothing would've happened if he remained silent. The timeline of Naka getting removed, Balan coming out, flopping, Naka shit talking in public and his arrest all line up perfectly.

Cool? That doesn't change the fact third and fourth gen masterpieces were 99% of the time Japanese, the west didn't step it up until computers could make games like Morrowind.

Can’t fault the man for calling a spade a spade. I feel the same way towards the cow shit eaters ruining the Western software industry. Same thing will happen: it’ll just be dismissed as blind hate, and a new country (China) will take precedence.

He's a con artist and a poor programmer. Sonic has so many collision bugs it's not funny. They had to put it in the manual that Robotnik can get you trapped in the walls and you have to reset the console if that happens.

NTA but he's talking about Sonic 3's manual, where it claims that any bug or glitch encountered are actually diabolical traps made by Robotnik, and that you may have to reset the console if you trigger one that traps you.
