Itagaki: “If I Made [Bayonetta], people would say, ‘What an idiot”
Oh Itagaki-san, dont ever change.
Former Team Ninja head, and creator of the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series, Tomonobu Itagaki has said that if he had made a game similar to Bayonetta, he’d probably be labeled stupid and an idiot. But how was it obvious he was referring to Bayonetta in a 1up interview? Well… :
If I made a similar game as a game I made in the company I quit, people would say, “What an idiot, can’t he make anything else?” Well, that is more or less the opinion I have for, uh, that Bayo-something game. Covered in hair, is she? I dunno, [Hideki Kamiya, producer on Bayonetta and creator of Devil May Cry] must have a lot going through his head. Well, in any case, I would first recommend laser eye surgery. I’m sure he’s not that strapped for cash, right?
Snap!
Bayonetta’s out this Fall for PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360, from SEGA and Platnum Games.
