Kamiya shows interest in Viewtiful Joe sequel
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, GameCube, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Between Bayonetta and Viewtiful Joe, Hideki Kamiya would prefer working on the latter. Kamiya told Famitsu this week that he’d like to make a sequel if given the opportunity.
That may be slightly difficult to realize at this time. Kamiya, of course, is no longer with Capcom and is currently leading development of Platinum Games’ new Wii U title, Project P-100, as the game’s director. However, Capcom has been very open to working with outside studios as of late, so maybe another Kamiya-made Viewtiful Joe entry could happen one day.

This sure came out of the blue.
On its Twitter account, Nintendo of America revealed that two new DSi color variations are coming to North America. Matte Red and Matte Blue will be available at retailers as early as this week.
