Yuji Naka (Sonic) has joined Square Enix
- Thread starter FelipeMGM
- Start date
Let's Tap (I think first Naka's game with his new studio) was wonderful. I think Naka has a potential to do wonderful and imaginative things.
he also joined Square Enix so he just means that can work together lol.
I think it was Rodea the Sky Soldier a couple of years ago, which were Wii U and Wii titles. The different platforms had different versions of the game, he might have worked mainly on the Wii one.
Rodea I think.
But yeah, leta do this. Get him and Nomura to do TWEWY2, that would be so baller.
I used to be in love with Yuji Naka during the Dreamcast days.
Phantasy Star Online was a huge milestone in console gaming for those times.
Chu Chu Rocket was an impressive (online!) puzzle game as well.
Last but not least Sonic Adventure. Despite its quite evident flaws, to me it was the only game that during a 2D > 3D era managed to make Sonic become a 3D platformer remaining true to its original style, innovating it, expanding it and doing it in an original way without being yet again the nth copy of Mario 64's approach to 3D platformer. Because let's face it, all 3D platform games of that era copied Mario, some arguably doing even better than the original, but they didn't really try a "different route". I feel like Sonic Adventure is the only one that at least tried to follow its own path.
No clue what could Yuji Naka bring on the table in 2018 and beyond though. Does he still have anything to say? Does he have good ideas for cool, new interesting large projects that aren't just "cool" puzzle games or stuff like that?
I really wonder.
Can't deny I 'm very skeptic but then again I sincerily hope we're all gonna be pleasantly surprised by his works in the near future.

Uh, interesting.
He's a weird guy with a lot of misfires in his career but I genuinely liked the Wii version of Rodea so I look forward to his future projects.

He can still make unique games, I loved Ivy the Kiwi and Rodea on the Wii. This is probably a mobile game though.
Sonic world in Kingdom Hearts 3 confirmed?
Daaaammnnn I too slow.
Let's Tap was pretty cool. I always wanted him over at Nintendo to work on funky shit like this. I can only imagine what he'd come up with for the Switch. Ah well.
Hm. Wish he'd have joined a gameplay-focused publisher like Nintendo or even Capcom.
Still, anything is better than modern Sega

This is amazing news! So pleased to see him back in the game.
He's behind so many of my favourite Sega games.

Square Enix doesn't strike me as a great fit for his type of less cinematic and more mechanics oriented game.
I hope to be proven wrong!

Has he ever drawn Sonic? He'd actually look pretty sick in his artstyle.
