It may be for the best. Note he's not gonna retire, and doesn't plan to take a break. And the man has a point, the Japanese Game industry is stalling hard, (there's a few exceptions).

This interview may help you get were he's coming from.

Suda51 and Kojima are known to have similar opinions as this man.

Here's for hoping this man finds his place in the industry.

Good luck to him in whatever he does next, and good luck to Capcom now that all their big-name talent has left the building.

Just when we were gonna get MML3, too. I'm still gonna buy it if it releases.

Here's my Dtoid account. And my Urban Terror ID is BenelliM4-Medic. And I know Travis Touchdown isn't a Capcom character, but I put him in anyway.

Yeah, Megaman it's not just gonna banish. Inti-Creates it's still around, Capcom just publishes those Megaman games at this point.

Now that I think about it, can't blame the guy. Many of the better games that came out of Japan were outsourced to other countries to be worked on by third party developers. Retro Studios is in Texas, USA and they made the Metroid Prime series for example. Square Enix is also failing ahrd, one of the BIG japanese companies. Their recent MMO fails hard and the last few actual FF games have been subpar compared to their old stuff. Nintendo is having to rely on old methods:

make retro-style game to appease fans
???
profit.

no more originality out of Japan I guess.

oh and Sega... LOLOLOLOLOL

It is ok to make fun of America. But if you make fun of any other country in a vague or joking way you get banned.
