Sehr sehr dreist der Kerl

1UP: What do you think about Bayonetta, as a game? Do you think Kamiya is right to follow the Devil May Cry formula so closely?
TI: If I made a similar game as a game I made in the company I quit, people would say, "What an idiot, can't he make anything else?" Well, that is more or less the opinion I have for, uh, that Bayo-something game.
1UP: What do you think of Bayonetta's character design? She's covered in hair.
TI: Covered in hair, is she? I dunno, Mr. Kamiya must have a lot going through his head. Well, in any case, I would first recommend laser eye surgery. I'm sure he's not that strapped for cash, right?
1UP: What did you think of Ninja Blade? Were you surprised another studio like From Software would follow your games on 360 with one in the same genre?
TI: Not surprised at all. In fact I've been told that all of the staff members were handed copies of Ninja Gaiden 2 to use as a textbook. If those stories are true, then I'm very honored and pleased to be of service.
