Weren't Nintendo's restrictions pretty much dead by '91? I certainly can't imagine any serious "can't publish on other systems" restrictions surviving 1991, considering the rise of the Genesis at that time! After all they didn't start supporting the Genesis in the US until 1990, and none of their early Megadrive games were also on Famicom of Super Famicom either. I mean, yes, Namco did cut back its Genesis support after 1991, but I highly doubt that Nintendo's restrictions had anything at all to do with that. What? I don't think there's any truth to this. Namco released what it already had in development and returned to its master until a lawsuit gave it its freedom. Eventually, this policy would be overturned in court, but for the first few years of the Genesis’ life, there were very few major publishers willing to go against the House of Mario. As history notes, the relationship between Sega and Namco almost ended as quickly as it began, as the iron fist of Nintendo licensing made it almost impossible for companies to publish content on competing platforms. In 1989, she won the Kodansha Manga Award for shoujo for Chibi Maruko-chan.Unfortunately, that’s not the way things turned out. She also designed the characters for the Xbox 360 game Every Party in 2005. The artist worked with Marvelous Interactive to create the game, and also collaborated with Nintendo on the Game Boy Advance romp Sakura Momoko no Ukiuki Carnival. Sakura also created the surreal fantasy manga Coji-Coji, which ran in Sony Magazines’ Kimi to Boku 1994-1997 and spawned a late ‘90s anime series of 100 episodes, as well as a SEGA Dreamcast party game. Maruko-chan arrived on the screen in a 1990-1992 series from Nippon Animation, followed by there feature films (including 2015’s Chibi Maruko-chan: A Boy from Italy) and a second TV series that has delivered more than 1,000 episodes since 1995 and is still airing. The simply rendered, nostalgic “essays in manga form” first appeared in Shueisha’s Ribon magazine and ran from 1986 to 1996, spanning 15 volumes. However, her most iconic creation Chibi Maruko-chan was based on her own childhood. The Japan News reports she was 53 years old.īorn Miki Miura in Shimizu, Japan in 1965, Sakura was very private about her personal life throughout her career. Momoko Sakura, the creator of the beloved manga and anime series Chibi Maruko-chan, died on August 15 from breast cancer, her office announced this week.
