I dunno if that's how knighthood works. Knuckles isn't even British
It just adds one more great piece of trivia to Knuckles’ legacy, nothing's too serious.
ℍ𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕪 ℕ𝕖𝕨 𝕐𝕖𝕒𝕣!
Yeah, nbut I heard a few more bad things about him even during his time in Sega.
One time he went to America to check out the development of a new game at the time. He saw the development crew who made it and was playtesting it. Meanwhile, he spoke with his associates in Japanese, stating his plans to buy the rights to the game and fire those he didn't want, all the while oblivious that some of those Americans could understand Japanese.
I remember that rumour, in which Yuji Naka wanted use Geist Force's engine for a new Sonic game which made members of the Geist Force team who understood Japanese and heard his comments became mad and quit, leading to the project's cancellation.
But Naka said in twitter that the "Geist Force incident" claims was false.
He's so prideful so he always loved to make his own engine, why would he wanted to take it away from others.
Sonic X-Treme incident too, someone in US had been using his name to scare the development team into cancelling it while in reality Naka has no say to the fate of game developed by other team.
Plus claim that Sonic X-Treme's using Naka's NiGHTS engine as the reason why Naka was angry.
NiGHTS was coded by Naka in full scratch assembly, so there is no way he could share that engine with people who are making it in C because they wouldn't understand it. Plus the documentation about the NiGTHS engine didn't exist.
