Yuji Naka Erases Former Co-Worker And Sonic Creator Naoto Ohshima From Team Photo

Things are seemingly not well in the Balan Wonderworld world, as seemingly-ousted creator Yuji Naka has taken to Twitter with a rather passive-aggressive way of showing his displeasure.

Naka posted a photo of the NiGHTS team in celebration of the game’s 26th anniversary, showing the original team who made the game, with one conspicuous absence: Naoto Ohshima, the creator of Sonic and Naka’s co-worker, who was the character designer on Balan Wonderworld, and the vice president of Arzest, who co-developed Balan Wonderworld.

Or rather, it’s not so much an absence of Ohshima, but a rather noticeable black lump where Ohshima used to be, as noted by a poster on ResetEra called MechaJackie.

Here’s the photo itself:

Uh… thoughts? Let us know in the comments.
