Naka was arrested last year purely for insider trading, and according to Japanese reports, prosecutors would call for a two and a half years imprisonment. And now he may spend two and a half years in jail. Naka battled for success after the Mega Drive-era games Sonic The Hedgehog undeniably abandoned the Sega-era in 2006, before leaving the Balan Wonderworld in 2004 for Square Enix. Miyamotos career has seen many decades of critically acclaimed games and now he’s a top exec at Nintendo, and a co-producer of the greatest animated movie of all time.

The life trajectories of the Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and the Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka could not have turned out more differently.

The father of Sonic looks good, since the former Sega superstar faces a jail time and a fine of nearly $1 million. I think that Yuji Naka is being tempted to put up with some serious prison time (Picture: Square Enix)
