Hideki Kamiya Condemns Switch 2 Leakers in Profanity-Laden Rant

The Okami and Bayonetta creator criticized leakers for spoiling Nintendo's surprise, calling their actions selfish and harmful to the industry.

Hideki Kamiya, known for Bayonetta and Okami, expressed outrage on social media over leaks of Nintendo's Switch 2 before its official announcement.
Kamiya described leakers as acting out of self-interest and accused them of causing opportunity losses for the gaming industry.
He used vivid language, including wishing leakers be 'covered in excrement' and 'thrown out of the atmosphere,' to convey his frustration.
Leaks had revealed key details of the Switch 2 hardware, including design features, additional Joy-Con buttons, and magnetized connections, before Nintendo's reveal.
Kamiya's own project, an Okami sequel being developed by his new Clovers Studio in partnership with Capcom, avoided leaks and was announced successfully at The Game Awards.
