Zangeki no REGINLEIV took over 3 years to make; Nintendo originally unsure about ‘M’ rating

In a recent Iwata Asks interview, Hitoshi Yamagami tells that Zangeki no REGINLEIV actually took in upwards of 3 years to make, first getting approved before the Wii even launched. Additionally, he said that Nintendo was on the fence about putting blood in the game, but eventually decided that it was okay because players would be killing monsters and not humans. It’s just like Nintendo to do something like that!
