Shenmue Developer Steps Down at Sega
April 6th, 2009 No Comments Posted in Business
Legendary game developer Yu Suzuki – the man behind such famous franchises as Virtua Fighter and Shenmue – has “retired” from his high-level R&D job at Sega.
He has been forced to step down from his creative role in R&D, but will still work in the company as a manager for Sega’s AM Plus – an arcade division, which has so far released Psy Phi and Sega Race TV in Japan.
While the man had his share of hits, he also had blunders mostly in the form of the expensive-to-make Shenmue games. Today is a sad day at Sega and gaming in general.
