When asked about Astral Chain on PS4, the famous twitter blocker and legendary video game developer, Hideki Kamiya replied:
何ででしょうね…マリオもゼルダもメトロイドも出せばいいのに…PS嫌いなんですかね…開発請負の我々には分からないので出資・版元の任天堂に聞いてみてもらえますか…? RT @ririnnrinnemu 何でPS4にアストロルチェイン出さないんですか?
PS嫌いなんですか?
Which basically translates to:
“Well… it would be great to have Mario, Zelda, and Metroid on the PS4 too… As for me, do I hate PlayStation…? I’m just a developer fulfilling my contractual obligations so I don’t know, maybe you can try asking my publisher and investor Nintendo?”
The man himself is basically confirming yet again that Nintendo owns the full rights to Astral Chain as they funded and published the entire project. Seems like many didn’t know that it has already been confirmed months ago. Either way, we can be sure of two things, we won’t see the soon to be Astral Chain series on any other platform any time soon and Lappy is a Nintendo mascot confirmed. What are your thoughts on exclusivity? If you don’t own a Switch already, would you buy one for Astral Chain?
