| SegaHeart said: We also had Bernie Stolar who didn't do much in Sega of America, he said the Sega Saturn is not the future. If we had a better american running the Sega Saturn we would of gotten probably several japanese ports being made into NTSC america. He was another reason that massively hurt Sega. Bernie Stolar rejected all the capcom great fighting games in america.he's worser than Chris Chan only Ken Penders is hated most. |
I don’t think Capcom fighting games would have helped the Saturn much - Capcom had glutted its own market to the point where its fighting games weren’t really selling, plus people were a lot more interested in Tekken than SF.
Stolar was pretty notorious for his animosity towards RPGs. It’s been said that he refused to localize the Arc the Lad games when he was with Sony. He viewed them as huge wastes of money and resources. Working Designs complained a lot about how difficult to work with he was. Glad he wasn’t around when they were localizing Final Fantasy VII.
