Besides the Sonix X-treme debacle I also remember hearing how they kneecapped some fighting game that was relatively successful in America because they were insistant on pushing Virtua Fighter and didn't want anything else hogging the spotlight. Yeah, that was Eternal Champions, and the way SEGA Japan kneecapped it despite it's success really showed how petty they were. They--or rather, Yuji Naka--also played a factor in the death of a promising Star Fox clone called "Geist Force", which was going to be a launch title. When Naka's team came over to America to tour the studio, they were so impressed by their tech that they had plans to take the tech for themselves back to Japan and fire everyone except for the one engineer who knew the most about the tech. Naka and his team said this amongst themselves in Japanese, but the devs knew fluent Japanese and heard it all, which of course pissed them off and led to most of their team leaving the studio, resulting in the game being cancelled despite being near completion. --- 11/8/2022 - The day the Blue Wall intercepted the Red Wave. <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:971134586] in Nintendo h...
