He's working for nintendo, doesn't really mean hes working on the mario series. In specific hes working for Nintendo of America in Washington, I don't know what studios they have there. He has a great resume. SEGA, Namco, Naughty Dog, now Nintendo. Good for him!

I was quite surprised he helped with Jak and Dexter. Learn something new everyday! :D

Seems like an odd place to go. As far as I'm aware NoA doesn't actually develop any games. Unless they've started working on eStore stuff. He would have been better off going to Retro really.

The only studio i could find online that's in Washington state is NSTC. Don;t think he'll go to Retro since its all the way in Austin, Texas.

I feel weird. My inner fan boy is annoyed that the creator of Sonic joins forces with the rival. Of course, that's just my inner fan boyism.

I guess I'm happy. I would have rather wished it would have been the other way around though. Currently, SEGA needs better developers. Not Nintendo.

Nintendo of America has HQ in Washington huh? Good for him nevertheless. And he worked on Jak and Daxter, didn't know that. The Sonic purists must be splitting heads...but god forbid what goes on in their heads.

SEGA lost a long time ago after shooting themselves in the foot, their no longer rivals. Time to grow up.

Sorry but i would rather work for Nintendo than a failing company that lost its way.
