Also, his hat was amazing

Yuji Naka hasn’t had the easiest time since parting ways with Sega back in 2006. He started his own development studio, Prope, and pushed out a few interesting, but not entirely memorable games likeIvy the Kiwi,Let’s Tap, andRodea the Sky Soldier. Last year, it was revealed he hadjoined Square Enixand was working on an action game for the company.

During the pre-show to the Xbox Games Showcase, we got our first look at what he’s been working on. It’s calledBalan Wonderworld(not “Wonderland” as it was called multiple times during the stream and on Twitter) and it looks like everything I could ask for from the creator ofSonic the HedgehogandNights Into Dreams. This game just looks whimsical, almost as whimsical as the hat Naka donned in the announcement of the game.
