A newly translated developer interview with Tokuro Fujiwara!
The creator of Ghosts'n Goblins, Resident Evil, and other famous series discusses the first games he made upon joining Konami and Capcom in the 80's, as well as the background behind his more famous series.
Did you know that...
• Fujiwara didn't even realize Konami was a game company when he applied for a job?
• Ghosts'n Goblins Red Arremers are named after a staffer named Toshio Arima?
• Back in the days when on-site testing of unfinished games was conducted in public arcades, a developer's biggest fear was competitors finding out and stealing their ideas, then releasing their own company's game ahead of the one they were copying?
• Resident Evil was originally going to use a 1st-person view?
• The opening movie for Resident Evil was made black and white because it was judged to be too scary?

Hey Capcom I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on Switch or, maybe Switch 2. I loved both of those games on GameCube.
Good. capcom and square enix were my two favourite developers and now it's just CapCom! Square enix keeps missing the mark, their sparks gone.
