I'd love to have some context behind the Kamiya post. I mean... didn't he leave Starfox? Or is he working on it again? Idiots + I love you? I'm so confused...
I don't know why everyone is so supportive of Sony this E3. All it seems to be - for me at least - is a bunch of vaporware and old games getting a shiny coat of paint. What's actually new from either Xbox or Playstation this year? I must have missed something... -
I don't think he was ever on Starfox? It was my understanding that Kamiya fans bombarded Nintendo with requests to put Kamiya on the project, after he expressed interest in working on the game. Nintendo declined, but the fans continued to ask.
And I think we all got played re: Sony and Microsoft, but I don't think it's much different than any other announcement. Let's not forget all those broken console promises, haha.
