Yuji Naka, co-creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, got arrested for insider trading at Square Enix. Oh what a wicked web! Let’s use it as an excuse to dump on some corpo scum!

Mentioning sonic in the jimquisition?! Time to go back to the classic poetry from rhymedown spectacular, “the cycle” (under the titte ” Because i could not stop for loading times”)
It’s obligatory, but fuck square enix.
Intergalactic intergender <3
We need Commander wrestling merch
Yeah
Every Jimquisistion is a banger!
You lost me with the OTT Frontiers bashing. It’s a fun game, and not just in a “hey it’s not as bad as Sonic 06” copium way…
I love that choreography in the very beginning.
A lovely and delightful video. It made me laugh and smile, it made me angry at people who deserve our ire, and it made me happy that I never liked Yuji Naka. I mean, in all fairness, he (and many other auteur rock star ‘game designers’ of very questionable actual merit or ability) did always seem like kind of a prick to me. Plus he has no freaking clue what to do with ‘his’ character (Sonic), as any poor frustrated Sonic fan will happily tell you after the past couple of decades of frequently crap, occasionally good games.
i can’t believe the employees of Criminal Organization Square Enix would recruit Yuji Naka, the man who engaged in Hedgehoggery. I’m so utterly shocked!!
tbh theres nothing wrong with insider trading… as long as you dont get caught if you get caught then your a bell end lol.
also mind control Clown making you fight yourself is the best Wrestler concept
I’m impressed at how the pitch of your voice steadily rose during that SE bit.
Wow. I guess never wrestle a physic clown! They will make you slap your self silly! Also stay away from the sonic fandom!
Actually hearing that someone was prosecuted for insider trading in Japan was a bit shocking, less than ten years ago it was basically an infamous free-for-all, don’t know when that changed but some people have not caught on.
As for Naka himself:
Apparently he was a huge asshole to fellow devs at Sega, back when he was a big shot. Karma finally caught up in full.
I’m pausing the vid b/c as SOON as I heard the name of the company I *knew* a joke was coming lmao!
That opening segment… usually I have to pay good money to get hit that hard.
Thank you for your sacrifice this week, JSS. We see your effort and recognize that you didn’t wanna, but you hadta. Cheers.
