Yuji Naka leaves SEGA like what

It's kind of sad, actually.

Regardless of whether Sonic has been a viable gaming platform since the twilight of the Genesis or not, this would be another nail in the coffin of my nostalgic "good old days" of gaming. It already seems like Sega releases next to nothing for the current crop of consoles. They may as well close up shop and call it a day.

*sigh* So much for the days when Sega and Nintendo could be counted on for dozens of titles a year (even if they weren't all classics material).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It does sort of sound like a potential for Sonic Team brain drain.

Then again, has Sonic Team amounted to much of anything since Burning Rangers? Sonic Adventure was okay but didn't really have the lasting power of the old games. Phantasy Star Online is good for some thrills but is wedded a bit too closely to the MMORPG format to have any long-term draw.

Still, does Sega make new games anymore? It's almost like they became an afterthought the minute they closed shop on the Dreamcast.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
