The creator of Devil May Cry and Bayonetta unleashes a furious Twitter rant against those who spoiled the surprise of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal.
The recent reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 was marred by numerous leaks that spoiled many of the anticipated surprises. While Nintendo usually manages to keep its game announcements under wraps, the involvement of multiple third-party companies in the hardware development inevitably led to information leaks.
Despite the anticipation surrounding the new console, the reveal itself was relatively subdued, showcasing only Mario Kart 9 and offering little explanation about the mysterious new button. The revelation that the Joy-Cons could function as computer mice was intriguing but hardly groundbreaking, considering the leaks had already disseminated this information.Hideki Kamiya, the renowned creator of Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, expressed his profound disappointment with the leaks on Twitter, unleashing a scathing rant against those responsible. He vociferously condemned leakers, calling for them to be afflicted with perpetual misfortune, covered in excrement, and banished into the sun. Kamiya's outburst, driven by a genuine passion for preserving the element of surprise, resonated with many gamers who shared his frustration. It's worth noting that Kamiya's reaction might stem from the recent surprise announcement of Ōkami 2, a sequel he's currently developing, which was revealed without any prior leaks. The satisfaction of experiencing that announcement fresh and unexpected likely amplified his anger towards the Switch 2 leaks. The extent to which Kamiya was aware of the Switch 2 details beforehand remains unclear, particularly given the strong likelihood of Ōkami 2 being released on the new platform. The Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2 is likely to shed more light on the console's capabilities and potential game lineup, potentially revealing whether third-party publishers are already developing Switch 2 titles or if Nintendo plans to maintain a tight control over the unveiling process.
