The most cruel thing about it all is how Nagoshi's change eventually turned Nick into a hardened criminal too. After you put a photoshopped sticker onto a wall there's no going back.

    So what you're saying is, Sega pulled a Capcom. For those who don't know, Capcom has locked new games behind the success of a rerelease. For example, they were going to make a Darkstalkers 4 but after Street Fighter x Tekken failed, Capcom said "buy this collection of the first three Darkstalkers games with no changes and if it sells well, we will make Darkstalkers 4" and then the proceeded to set their expectations for the collection so high that it was not possible for us Darkstalkers fans to reach. Clearly Sega saw that and went "yeah that's a good idea! Let's do that with Monkey Ball!"

      Not really far fetched considering Latinos are half native american and native americans crossed the Bering Strait from Asia to the Americas.

      Being serious, it’s quite depressing. He looked like an actual developer back then and now... he looks like he’s a member of a crime gang.

      @@uncanadien3272 perhaps modifying a picture from Sega (that he was explicitly told he was not allowed to modify without permission) and selling the result to the public (in the form of t-shirts) is illegal. I'm not sure to be honest, but I imagine they could argue that he's profiting off of their IP and damaging their brand. It seems to be somewhat of a gray area.
