Back in the early 90s, SEGA released a fun beat ’em up video game that featured the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. According to Tectoy chairman Stefano Arnhold, Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker was published by SEGA because Jackson was mad at Nintendo. Arnhold stated that Michael Jackson approached Nintendo with an idea and got rejected, so he jumped to SEGA instead. The Tectoy chairman said that this relationship helped SEGA sell more than 500,000 Mega Drive units in Tokyo alone. The relationship between Michael Jackson and SEGA helped spawn numerous versions of Moonwalker, as well as a special appearance in Space Channel 5.
