Inafune: Okami, Viewtiful Joe, God Hand sequels "not likely or appealing," Mega Man 10 possible

Capcom's Kenji Inafune recently discussed titles developed by Clover Studios. Though Clover no longer exists, Capcom would still be able to create more titles for Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand. Inafune, however, has expressed zero interest in creating any new games for Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand, stating that "it's not very likely or appealing."

Sell Okami,VJ,God Hand Rights to PlatinumGames(Clover) if they aren't interested in it.

But it's a shame about Okami, regardless of sales, that was a great game. I hope they change their mind and make a sequel of that one someday.

":("

My sentiments exactly.

[INehalemEXI]

Since the world is looking at recession...game devs are going to there bread and butter catalog for guaranteed revenue?

[Cheeseknight28]

If anyone hasn't played VJ and wants to I recommend checking EB's used bin... I happened to find a copy for $3. Easily the biggest steal I've ever found for a game.

It's such a shame that none of these are getting sequels.

[RememberThe357]

Okami is one of my all time favorite games ever.

[SaiyanFury]

Yeah Capcom seems more interested in making lackluster titles like Lost Planet than making original games anymore. Oh God what I wouldn't give for a new Breath of Fire game. Two of my favourite original PS era RPGs and I haven't seen a new one in about a decade. Maybe they should stop thinking like a corporation and start thinking as a developer.

[sinncross]

Not getting the final installment of VJ is disappointing indeed...
Okami 2 would be an amazing experience on a HD console, but oh well.
Pity indeed... all three deserve sequels.

man okami desereve another game god hand on the other hand suck and capcom hurry up with my dead rising 2

[Rikitatsu]

Is the best 3D beat em up.

[Danja]

I enjoyed God Hand..wouldn't say it sucked..

[ultimolu]

No Onimusha game either?
Damn you Capcom. T^T

[Simon_Brezhnev]

yeah thats what i want another Onimusha game, i think Onumsha 1 and Onimusha Dawn of dreams the best in the series

[ultimolu]

I think 1, 3, and Dawn of Dreams were the best. Onimusha 2 kinda sucked, :x

[TheColbertinator]

Onimusha 3 rocked.Too bad I only rented it once and forgot to buy it

[Zackstorm]

Okami definitely deserves a sequel. It was such new fresh game.

[TheColbertinator]

Not surprised by Capcoms nonsense.After all the team that originally worked on those games are now gone

[TIKUP]

What no sequal to okami!!!!!!! *SOBBING* :'(

[ActionBastard]

A new Okami isn't "appealing"?

[Cheeseknight28]

Apparently the sales don't justify making a new one.

[ActionBastard]

Damn shame.

[Grassroots]

Man, loved Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and God's Hand. All amazing, yet were ignored by the masses in the end. Sad indeed.

[Smacktard]

Mega Man 10 and 11 in the classic retro style sound pretty cool. I like that.

But no sequel to Okami? ;_;

Sell the IP to Platinum Games, then.

[Ninja-Sama]

forget the fact that it was one of the best games on the PS2 amongst a flood of other great games on that console.

It's all about going after the Wii and DS market remember? Nintendo has done a terrible thing to gaming but hey at least they're making a hell of a profit right?

[ChickeyCantor]

WTF?
Consider the fact that PS2 had an install base of 120m+, Okami sold terrible. YES it sold terrible.
Now look at the Wii version, with that audience, it sold bad.
BUT comparing both audiences in size, Ps2 took the crown of selling bad compared to the Wii version.
It got nothing to do with " Nintendo ".

Why the hell did you bring that up anyway, you make little sense.

BTW, noticed how some companies had to close down their studios?
Married with children style: Kids, thank your Sony/MS.

[Axelay]

What does it have to do with wii or ds ?
Can you explain this to us nostradamus ? Do you know something we don't ?
Should we remind you Okami sell more on wii than the Ps2 ?
At least try to backup your arguments, so we can have a conversation.
And to finish opinions are not facts.
Like sidar say there are companies that have to close down, you should thanks nintendo to have a console that allow developper to make game that cost less than the others.
With the increase of the cost to make a game right now.
When studio failed to sell their game (factor 5, midway, etc) the only choice they have is to close their studio.

[Coheno]

Give me Mega Man: Legends 3 already !!!!
