Sega Consumer Research and Development Dept. #4 (Sega CS4) was a video game research and development division within Sega. It was established in 1994 alongside Sega CS5 to deal with a growing number of home consoles to develop for,[1] with Sega CS3 and CS4's focus going towards Mega Drive and 32X.[2][3] Its producer was Koichi Nagata.[4]
Several members of CS4, including Nagata, had shortly before worked on the Mega Drive port of Virtua Racing, being Sega AM2 staff that had only a few years before still been working on Mega Drive games under CS departments (possibly CS3[5]). Several of these developers would be part of another CS4 in the late 90's, which became Sega Software R&D Dept. 9 and United Game Artists.[6]
