Resident Evil: Revelations producer Masachika Kawata commented on the possibility of changes following Resident Evil 6’s mixed reception, and specifically commented on the suggestion of a more open-world approach in a Eurogamer interview:

“If we did [go with an open-world], we would want to preserve what Resident Evil is and what makes it appealing to fans, while also making it accessible to new players. It would almost entail having a slight reboot to get the series into a place where it would work with open-world gameplay. That’s just a personal opinion. A lot of decisions would have to be taken before something like that is done to the series, but it is something that… There is a possibility.”

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

Satoru Iwata has been Nintendo’s corporate president and CEO for over a decade. But if the company can’t reach a goal of 100 billion yen in operating income for the next fiscal year, Iwata has hinted that he may be willing to step down.

Iwata noted during an analysts’ meeting earlier today:

“We feel greatly accountable for this severe outlook. …we plan to actively release our key titles for Nintendo 3DS which could potentially lead the markets this year.”

Iwata was later asked how he would take responsibility if the goal is not met. In response, he said:

“Please understand that [achieving it] is my commitment.”
