Ono says Nintendo vs. Capcom is unlikely, apologized to Iwata
Recently, there has been talk of Nintendo and Capcom teaming up to create a fighting game. That’s because Yoshinori Ono had apparently expressed interest in such a project. Ono told IGN just a few days ago, however, that there are no plans to create a Nintendo vs. Capcom title. Surprisingly, Ono actually visited Nintendo’s offices to apologize to president Satoru Iwata.
“At the Germany Games Convention I was asked about [Nintendo vs. Capcom]. I mentioned it was an interesting idea that somehow transmogrified on the Internet into me saying I was going to do it! I have no plans to do it. I certainly don’t think anything is impossible, though not terribly likely is probably a way to phrase it I had to go to Nintendo President Iwata-san and actually apologize that I let things get out of hand. But maybe this whole conversation could be the start of something like that… or maybe it ends with me in the dog house with Iwata-san. Time will tell where [this is] going to go.”
