With Shin Megami Tensei IV Final having wrapped up and shipped in Japan, Famitsu spoke with some developers behind the game for a post-release interview. Character designer Masayuki Doi, producer Kazuyuki Yamai, and sound composer Ryota Kozuka talked with the magazine.

Famitsu has plenty of talk about the franchise in general as well as Shin Megami Tensei IV Final itself. The team spoke about what elements define the series, characters, music and more.

This week’s Nintendo of Minute has gone live, which you can catch below. Today’s video is once again focused around Fire Emblem Fates. You can see two battles, each of which show some different maps and with characters from Birthright and Conquest.


Project X Zone 2 features a ton of characters from Bandai Namco, Capcom, and SEGA. Heck, there are even a few from Nintendo as well.

One character that didn’t make the final cut was Bayonetta. PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya revealed on Twitter that he received an offer to have her in, but declined it. Now he sort of regrets it.

Kamiya wrote:


As for why Kamiya turned down the offer, he explained:


That message seems to have been posted after Kamiya saw images of Segata Sanshiro in Project X Zone 2.
