News Toshihiro Nagoshi Leaves Sega

[astrogamer]

Naw, that's Persona.

That's really only the last 5 years and isn't really Sega. Atlus could keep going to sell multimillion franchises but, that does not keep Sega's internal development relevant

Ah, true. At any rate SOJ needed a shake up so we'll see what's next.

 

[Sadist]

As a Yakuza fan it’s a shame though

Not surprising. I see the same thing happening to Harada in the long run.

unlike Nagoshi, Harada has more recent successes to his title as studio head

So did Hideo Kojima.

 

[Waluijob]

So did Hideki Kojima.

Hideo*

My bad.

So did Hideo Kojima.

and reasonable budgeting

Maybe the Yakuza games will finally be able come to Switch, or the s u c c, in the not so far future.

Sorta. Unlike Kojima though, Harada is overseeing stuff that can crack 10 million.

Guy has left a great team behind so i'm excited for the future of the team and SEGA as a whole

at this point, if they're gonna port it, they might as well wait until Dane launches and ride the high (and have a base switch version too as backup)

If they want to test the waters just port 0 and Kiwami and see how they do. If it's worthwhile then they can continue with Kiwami 2 on Dane and/or Cloud.

I genuinely don't see any sort of end goal with Cloud right now. the costs to put up a cloud version is very low, but the returns, I assume, are also very low

 

[9-Volt]

I don't think Yakuza games will be coming to Switch in any way unless Nintendo specifically requests them. Sega probably moved on from more ports, even for other platforms where Yakuza is still absent, like EGS or Stadia.

Will Nintendo ever ask Sega to port Yakuza to Switch? Time will tell, their relationship is still strong. But before that I think Nintendo would ask Persona 5 Royal port first. It still is the missing piece.

 

[TreIII]

Dammit, Daisuke Sato! You jumped ship before you got around to that Sonic game you said you'd like to make!

But in all seriousness...yishing him and Nagoshi the best. Trusting that RGG Team will carry on just fine without them.

 

[NarohDethan]

It's sad but RGG are in a good position. Curious about what they're doing next.

 

[samouraï]

If Juro Watari was still around at Sega this would have made me a little more hopeful for another Virtual-ON

 

[Twinsen]

Hope the team makes a lot more variety of games. They used to be a yakuza machine only untill recently with Monkey Ball.

I'm guessing a new monkey ball is in the making.

I'm simply saying that if Kojima can get fired, anyone can get fired. Internal company politics that none of us know about can lead to major developers getting sacked or forced to resign. It happened to Tomonobu Itagaki and Gunpei Yokoi.
