Kamiya talks about difficulty in his games

Wonderful 101 director Hideki Kamiya has a ton of experience with action games. He worked on Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, and of course, Bayonetta.
In a new interview with NintendoWorldReport, Kamiya spoke about how he has “a certain vision” for difficulty in action titles:
“I have sort of a certain vision for how difficulty should be in games. (I grew up in the 80’s) where there was a lot of technique, a lot of skill, required to beat games.”
Kamiya did mention how even though “that’s something that will appeal to other players who like action games,” there are others who may like to try out his games as well. In “Bayonetta, there might be players that aren’t necessarily that interested in action games or good at action games that want to play the game because of the style presented.” With The Wonderful 101, according to Kamiya, “there might be players who just want to experience playing … that don’t necessarily have the technical ability.”
Kamiya feels that in spite of his personal style that appeals to hardcore action players, he believes his games “should be available to people who don’t have the technical abilities as well.”
