Gaming🎮 Hideki Kamiya would really like it if Capcom let him make Okami 2 and Viewtiful Joe 3

Games industry veteran Hideki Kamiya has shared that he still wants to make sequels to PS2 classics Okami and Viewtiful Joe.

These days, Kamiya is probably best known as the creator of Bayonetta, though throughout his year he's created a big range of titles. You obviously can't forget Devil May Cry, but there's of course two other beloved titles he created too: Viewtiful Joe and Okami. The former did get a sequel, but the latter Zelda-like RPG never did, and it seems like that that's something that eats away at Kamiya a bit, as in the second part of his interview with Ikumi Nakamura (who previously worked on Bayonetta herself), he spoke of his desire to make an Okami 2. "The story ended midway, so leaving it as it is, I feel bad," Kamiya said.

"Creators, I think, have the duty to create sequels fans are wanting to see. Although I sound all high and mighty, it's been awhile since I've moved on from Okami. But I still feel like I haven't fulfilled my duty. So Capcom, please, let's do it together." Even Nakamura herself said "please" as Okami was another title she worked on with Kamiya - in fact it was her first credited game role. I'm no Kamiya or Nakamura, but I'd quite happily see an Okami 2, too, Capcom!
