Hideki Kamiya's Plea for Okami 2 and Viewtiful Joe 3: A Dream Hinging on Capcom

Okami 2 is Creator's Dream But Final Say Goes to CapcomIn a recent interview with Ikumi Nakamura, Hideki Kamiya, the creative mind behind iconic titles like Okami and Viewtiful Joe, reignited fan hopes for long-awaited sequels. The discussion, featured on Unseen's YouTube channel, revealed Kamiya's deep-seated desire to revisit these beloved franchises and resolve their unfinished narratives.

Kamiya's Unfinished Business

Kamiya expressed a strong sense of responsibility regarding Okami's abrupt ending. He highlighted a previous, viral social media interaction with Nakamura hinting at a possible sequel, emphasizing the story's premature conclusion. The recent Capcom player survey, where Okami ranked among the top seven most-wanted sequels, further underscored the demand for a continuation. Kamiya's plea to Capcom for collaboration on this project was clear. Nakamura, a fellow Okami veteran, wholeheartedly supported his vision.

The Viewtiful Joe 3 Conundrum

For Viewtiful Joe 3, Kamiya jokingly lamented the game's smaller but equally dedicated fanbase and its incomplete storyline. He even revealed his own submission to the Capcom survey advocating for a sequel, which unfortunately didn't make the final cut. His humorous remark, "The director himself is asking to make the game again but they won't even talk about it," highlights the frustration of a creator wanting to complete his vision.

A Long-Held Dream
