The Sega head clarified Suzuki’s role in the company in a recent interview with Gamasutra, saying that he is still a Sega employee. Jeffery was quoted having said that Suzuki “…is a Creative Officer of Sega Corp”.
The game designer is perhaps best known for old school arcade titles such as the Outrun, Space Harrier, and Shenmue franchises. His recent works include the Chinese MMO Shenmue Online, as well as the unreleased arcade title Psy-Phi.
