Kamiya interested in Wonderful 101 sequel, still wants Bayonetta 1 on Wii U, says it’d “be great to work more closely with Nintendo”
The Wonderful 101 director Hideki Kamiya already wants to make a sequel to his just-released Wii U game.
Speaking with IGN, Kamiya said:
“I really have no idea at this point, but I would love to make a sequel to one of my own games. We put a tremendous amount of work into this game and it would be unfortunate if I would not get the chance to tell a new story with these characters. However, some of the bad guys you beat in this game won’t appear in a sequel. That’s kind of a depressing thought.”
Kamiya also told the site that he’d still like to see the original Bayonetta come to Wii U. The game’s sequel is scheduled to launch on Nintendo’s console next year, but Kamiya feels a Wii U version of the first title would be a good idea “so that gamers unfamiliar with the first game get to play it.”
“I would love to make that happen, so that gamers unfamiliar with the first game get to play it. This is just my personal opinion, however. I have not much say over the matter. However, I think designers should always keep in mind that not everyone has played the previous title, even if this was released on the same platform. You have to make sure that even players who are unfamiliar with the franchise are able to keep up.”
Following The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2 will be the second game Platinum Games is making in collaboration with Nintendo. Both are being published by the Big N. And for Kamiya, he’d “love” working more closely with the company.
When asked if he’d like to see the company officially join forces with Nintendo, he replied,
“I would love that. It would be great to work more closely with Nintendo.”
