While talking about this latest game, Bayonetta, Hideki Kamiya told GameInformer he would love to go back to the Viewtiful Joe series and finish up the story of Joe, Sylvia, Captain Blue and the rest of the gang.

Kamiya also talked about how he views the worlds he created and his recent disinterest in wanting to create an Okami sequel.

“Up until very recently I really felt someday I wanted to make a sequel to Okami, and there were others who wanted me to as well. But then the other day I heard the announcement that someone else would be making a sequel [Okamiden] and now I’m just not interested in it anymore.

“Once someone else touches a world that you yourself created it stops being yours. There is no point in making a sequel when the world doesn’t belong to you. Viewtiful Joe is probably all I’ve got left. That story is incomplete so I’d like to finish it someday. But that would probably be the most difficult one to do [laughs].”

It’s odd that Kamiya didn’t hear about Okamiden until only recently. You would think Capcom would try to bring him back on for the project or at least consult him on story direction. Though, it is a moot point now that Kamiya has lost interest in the series.
