Kamiya Hideki praised Nintendo to Heaven, who gave everything to PlatinumGames in the development of the third part after the second part, originally released for the Wii U and later for the Nintendo Switch (they even gave time to study!).
Kamiya has directed several games that still sound patina today: Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101, and is now working on Project GG at PlatinumGames. It’s true that he wasn’t even the director for the second and third Bayonetta, but he oversaw the development of the game as the creator of the IP, and in Bayonetta 3 he made specific reference to a Devil May Cry boss fight. to say that the story of Cereza was referring to Phantom … no we want to spoil!).
A Nintendo Everything translated an interview given by Kamiya to the Japanese magazine Famitsu. Here, he revealed that after Microsoft canceled Scalebound in early 2017 (which he would direct and still be happy to make the game!), He immediately began planning Bayonetta 3. He added that PlatinumGames CEO Atsushi Inaba gave him asked to make a video for Nintendo to show big N how enthusiastic the studio was about the project, as Inaba said that direct demonstration of the passion meant a lot.
Kamiya pointed out that Nintendo left the Bayonetta 3 story mostly intact. The Japanese console company has caught up, but not to a significant extent, and this has encouraged him to take on the franchise again. He wanted to expand the game world even further for fans and he also wanted to challenge himself. That’s why he was happy when Nintendo accepted PlatinumGames’ plans, and he’s not exaggerating when he says he will forever be grateful to Nintendo for it.
There was a little scandal surrounding Bayonetta 3, which was ignited by Cereza’s original voice, but it turned out she wasn’t telling the whole truth. The action game exclusively for Switch can thus be successful in a dignified way (why not deny it: it will).
