IGNcube: There is a false perception, at least in the US, that GameCube is a console for a younger audience. Has this had an impact on what you felt you could or couldn´t do in Resident Evil 4?
Kobayashi: The kiddy image of the Nintendo GameCube is pretty much the same for us in Japan, too. People have the image of GameCube as a console for younger players. We knew that the game was going to be very violent so we went to Nintendo and they discussed this issue and asked for their approval -- if it would be all right to make such a game. Nintendo had no problem with that. So there was no restriction.
IGN: Can you control anybody other than Leon in Resident Evil 4?
Kobayashi: [Laughs] Take a wild guess from the previous Resident Evil. Was there only one character? [Smiles]
IGNcube: Will Resident Evil 4 ever appear on another console, such as PlayStation 2?
Kobayashi: Definitely not. Definitely not. It´s a GameCube exclusive.
En gros: Nintendo n´a emis aucune reserve et n´a effecrté aucun controle sur la violence du jeu.
Le jeu est définitivement une exclusivité Gaecube.
