In an interview with OXM UK, Tecmo/Team Ninja’s Tomonobu Itagaki said that the Devil May Cry series is “shallow”. I suppose it doesn’t have enough undulating titties for him. I’ll give him that Ninja Gaiden was an amazing game, and I respect his attempt at bringing Japanese gaming back to its reigning status (which would be awesome, because I’m tired as playing as a fucking space marine, the only idea American developers can seem to come up with), but how could the developer of Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball criticize anyone for being “shallow”?
Pictured above: deep gameplay.
In all honesty, it doesn’t even really bother me that he would call DMC shallow. It’s not exactly Civilization. But when you put more care into making character models with basketball-sized breasts made of Flubber than making sure your game is, you know, fun, you kinda lose the right to call other games shallow.
