In responding to questions about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Okami creator Hideki Kamiya responded that he was “disappointed” by the game’s visuals.
Kamiya was asked about Twilight Princess when he was in town to pick up his award from the Japan Media Arts Festival we reported on two weeks ago. Joystiq (via Famitsu) is reporting his full response:
“To be frank, I was disappointed when I saw [Twilight Princess'] visuals. I’m a Zelda freak — it’s no overstatement to say that I created Okami because of Zelda. I really wanted [Twilight Princess] to have that regal aura, because Zelda was what we were aspiring to. I wanted it to show me things that were surprising, but…”
The visually acclaimed Playstation 2 game Okami itself saw disappointing sales in Japan but received a greater than expected response here in the United States.
