So did the intial sega comments after the PG/Sega deal was announced and BAYONETTA was revealed. I'm talking about when the game was released.Which is what i said before.
Honestly, I often have difficulties comprehending the finer details of your posts sometimes. As far as I'm concerned Kamiya doesn't "pander" to his fans, and I've never seen him pander. I've seen him curse out his own fans, fans of a major Nintendo franchise, and he's publicly called out journalists. He is, if anything, brutally honest to the point of being unseemly.
What he's saying here about Nintendo swooping in to save the game is something he's also been saying ever since it was announced, at the same time he was cursing out these people. What he's saying here is nothing new, so he's not really "pandering" just because the game is released, if that's what your implying. He's merely enforcing the narrative he established from day one, and adding some additional details to make clear just how dire the game's situation once was.
Wouldn't be the first time..but as i said the situation isn't as simple as Nintendo swooping it in to save it. Were talking about big corporations here..who have teams of lawyers and various negotiations that take place so all parties are satisfied. If you want to believe this fairy tale that Kamiya is spinning then be my guest. But that's not and never will be the reality in regards to this story.
There's no doubt he's simplifying what was a complex negotiation, but I'm not really sure what relevance that has to the narrative. If Nintendo didn't "save" the game...then what did happen?
I remember he also said he didn't play Sega games in an arogant tone...
By the way...do you have a source for this? I'd like to see it.
I'd also like you to link to what you consider to be him pandering to his fans.
