Anecdotes About Yu Suzuki From Yuji Naka | DenFamiNicoGamer

[Switch]

In February, SEGA legend Yuji Naka was a special guest on an informal talk show streamed live online by the Japanese site DenFamiNicoGamer.





Some of the inside stories he shared about his early days at SEGA are about Yu Suzuki, who was working there at the time. In particular, one previously-unheard episode ended up with the two not speaking for a couple of years!

I've translated these to English in this blog post:

I really don't understand why YS got mad, but great stuff Switch !

I guess he took it to mean "go back to what you're good at," as if Naka was being either territorial or dismissive of his prospects on a console, at a time when Suzuki was probably feeling a lot of internal and external pressure in that regard.

It's a pity the misunderstanding wasn't cleared up a lot sooner.

Naka was a bit of a diva back then (I guess Yu probably was too), so wouldn't be surprised if this isn't a full account of what was said...
