Ok but it sucks cause she would never respect the law.
A lot of cops don't either. Toph would 100% abuse her power lol

Well, apparently, Yuji Naka is back in public life. And he made this post on X.


Can you believe this? I can't.
Finally, we can now look forward to Balan Wonderland 2

And thus, my trip at a two-day comic convention has come to an end. I had a lot of fun but boy, I'm tired.

Now I anticipate a video game convention in July.

Fun Fact: King Kong the novel is public domain. King Kong the movie and character are not, and the ownership rights to both are a complete mess. But if you make a "legally distinct" Kong (but not THE King Kong or Kong), you can make your own "King Kong" movie without paying a dime for any licensing. The Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures adaptation of the King Kong movie are actually based off the novelization to circumvent Universal's copyright.

Except the novel is a novelization of the movie, which came out two months later. So like… how can the one be in public domain and the other not? It’s based on the year something came out in and they’re the same number of years old. Plus the book was based on the movie, not the other way around.

The copyright for the novel was not renewed. The copyright for the movie was

Have you ever wanted to play as Wild Woody from the not-so-hit-game Wild Woody in a pornographic kart racer?

...what do you mean you don't?
Reminder that in his game, there is a cheat code where you can see an uncensored topless mermaid (I'm serious).

What the actual **** did I just google.
Wild Woody's BACK, baby! And he didn't need to sell "like, a zillion units!"

But really, the reason why this could be a thing is because WW flopped hard enough that Sega didn't want to own the IP, so they sold it to its creators.

Did they actually sell him to his creators, or did this porn game just license an old anthro pencil from SEGA?

The Steam description page (Which I am NOT linking for good reasons) says "Disclamer: We are in no way associated with SEGA. The IP of Wild Woody has been given permission from the original creators of the Wild Woody series."

How much you want to bet Yuji Naka will be in another scandal this year?

No thanks. I'm happy with Freedom Planet 2.

Wait... framed for what? I thought Balan Wonderworld was just a bad game so he was banished to the vault of has-bean game designers.

There was an incident where Yuji Naka ended up going to prison for insider trading for a Dragon Quest game.

No

Insider trading
Eh. I don’t really care about that. Capitalism is already a rigged game anyway, use all the cheat codes you can. The only people you actually hurt with insider trading are other rich people. I think anyway, don’t quote me on that. Like yeah it’s illegal, and if the system was already fair I’d probably judge your morals by it. But it’s not. So I don’t really care.

I just think it's funny that he's trying to deny it.

Considering Yuji Naka’s long history of being a toxic person to work with, inside trading is just another example of him being a SOB.
