His first title was Virtua Racing as a chief designer. Afterwards he created his own racing game, Daytona USA, where he was producer, director and chief designer.

He was also very integral into making Shenmue come to life. Although the credits only tell us he was a supervisor; he has revealed the development story. He was called by the CEO at the time to get the game finished, and as a result, he had to serve as producer and director on the final months of development. He recognized that as one of the turning points in his career.

In 2000, Sega separated its in-house R&D departments from the main company and established them in nine semi-autonomous subsidiaries, with each getting an elected president as a studio head. Toshihiro Nagoshi became head of Amusement Vision, where he further contributed to Sega’s arcade line-up with Planet Harriers, SpikeOut sequels and spin-offs. For Dreamcast he remade his very first game, Daytona USA as Daytona USA 2001. As Sega became a third-party, he moved out of arcade development. Amusement Vision became most known for its work on the Nintendo GameCube, with the first two Super Monkey Ball titles in 2001 and 2002, and F-Zero GX in 2003, Nagoshi made in conjunction with Shigeru Miyamoto. During the time of development of F-Zero GX, Nagoshi wrote a regular column in Edge, which was titled “AV Out” in reference to both Amusement Vision’s initials, which was the name of his development division, and the consumer electronics term “A/V”.
