For a jubilee, made out of diamonds.

For years there has always been a struggle between two famous idols of retro gaming: Sonic and Mario. The rivals have always gone hand-in-hand with their associated companies for decades -- Sonic with Sega, and Mario with Nintendo. Now the blue dude's co-creator, Hirokazu Yasuhara, has joined up with Nintendo.

In fact, according to Gamasutra, Hirokazu Yasuhara will be joining Nintendo's Software Technology division in Redmond, Washington. What he will be doing there is a mystery, since neither Yasuhara or Nintendo have relesed any details.

Yasuhara joined Sega back in 1988, where he and Yuji Naka birthed the Sonic franchise for Genesis and Saturn. Since then, he's also worked with Naughty Dog and 2K Sports. Prior to joining Nintendo, Yasuhara worked briefly at Namco Bandai.


I sense SEGA merging with Nintendo...

What is the difference between a duck?

SEGA isn't merging with Nintendo, they make money by being a third party company, a merger would lead to huge cutbacks and profit loss. Not happening.

^But they have already lost millions and suffered a lot of cuts recently. .-.

Still, I don't see how one person might indicate an entire company merge together. I'm assuming he hasn't been working with Sega for a while because he worked with all these other companies prior to this.

I object to your claims
Yeah, I doubt SEGA and Nintendo are merging anytime soon.

My! That's a pretty snazzy performance there!
Jeez, with all this news about Sega, I am worried. However, I still do not want to believe that Sega is down and out now because the Sonic game have all been doing very well in terms of sales. Maybe this does not mean anything, but I am still holding on for now.

He worked everywhere it seems. Sega, Naughty Dog, and now Nintendo. It doesn't really mean anything, it's only news because he's a figurehead of the earlier industry. People move from company to company all the time...
