Hideki Kamiya, director for both the Viewtiful Joe series (excluding Red Hot Rumble) and Bayonetta, was asked by popular Japanese magazine Famitsu which of two series he would prefer to work on if a sequel were ever to come about. His answer: Viewtiful Joe. This is not to say that Kamiya has no interest in dusting off the old skin-tight hair-suit for a Bayonetta sequel or spin-off, and often discusses it with the Bayonetta producer over beers.

I’m a big Viewtiful Joe fan myself and can obviously see Kamiya’s attraction to the series as a designer/ director. It’s simplistic yet engrossing 2D gameplay and sorely missed cell-shaded graphical style is something this generation of gaming could really do with. The fact that Kamiya still has Bayonetta on his mind is only a good thing after the rumours some time ago of a planned but cancelled sequel.

So is this news Henshin A Go-Go, or Henshin A No-No? Let us a know-know right now in the comments below…low?
