Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Yuji Naka ended a 16-month social media blackout on Sunday, by accusing top Dragon Quest producer Yu Miyake of lying as part of Naka’s high-profile insider trading trial.

Naka hadn’t posted on his X account since November 2022, which was shortly before he was formerly indicted. But on Sunday he returned to comment on news that top Dragon Quest producer Miyake will reportedly be re-assigned at Square Enix.

Such a fall from grace!

 

[Kadve]

Aren't he in prison?

Hm, looks like the sentence got suspended. To bad.

Honestly surprised how far "I took all the credit for creating Sonic" has taken him tbh.

He made a few grand on insider trading, didn't murder anyone. Hold off your pitchforks.

(*trident, still relevant though )

 

[Saber]

After all that transpired, I think he should lay out abit and relax. If what he said is truth he should take that to the court later.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I want him back at SEGA. They're doing the whole retro thing, so LFG.

He was ordered to forfeit 171 million yen so a bit more than jut a few grand. But sure.
Anyway. Guy is well known for being an arrogant asshole. So him doing this tirade doesn't surprise me.

 

[PSFan]

Isn't Yuji Horii the producer of Dragon Quest?

 

[Shut0wen]

Dont understand why people are dissing him, him and the DD producer should both be in jail, the only way he got that information would of been from the producer himself which even the court themselves mentioned was fishy

Man, the Yakuza world in Kingdom Hearts 4 is sure quirkier than I expected.

Ok, that’s 1.2mln USD, I take it back.

He made Sonic, a crime worse than murder.

Facts:
- A- Tiers programmer.
- D- Tiers director (Balan)
- S- Tiers parasite: I guess he'll start another civil war at Sega and the company will collapse for good.

Bring back Yasuhara instead (OG Sonic 3K game designer): He'll improve the disapointing Sonic Super Stars (Oshima). Together, they'll do a fine job. With Naka, it will be a battle royal... (beef with Oshima recently and Yasuhara back then)

 

[GHound]

They don't call him Nakadashi Yuji for no reason. Attention whore is about to cop a defamation suit too.

Basically Yuji Naka in a nutshell.

Some people have their genius and they need to stay in that lane.
