Balan Wonderworld’s Ousted Creator Yuji Naka Erases Former Co-Worker Naoto Ohshima From Team Photo

Earlier this year, Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Yuji Naka revealed that he had been ousted as the developer of Balan Wonderworld by Square Enix midway through the game’s development. While most of his ire has been aimed at the company so far, it appears that there is now some bad blood between Yuji Naka and another notable developer as well.

In a recent tweet from his personal account, Yuji Naka celebrated the 26th anniversary of the NiGHTS series by posting a photo of his team who worked on the game. However, many Twitter users soon noted a peculiar edit made to the photo by Yuji Naka: erasing away the image of his former colleague Naoto Ohshima (who also worked with him on Balan Wonderworld):

Eventually, Yuji Naka spilled the beans on the edited photo – sharing that his removal as Balan Wonderworld‘s director and his fallout with Square Enix was partly due to Naoto Ohshima’s involvement somehow:

From the looks of things, it looks like Yuji Naka still has quite a lot of bones to pick over his removal from Balan Wonderworld‘s development. We’ll report back if the situation develops further.
