Inaba: The Final Clover Interview
It's a new video interview, with the adorable Atsushi Inaba. We're pretty sure this is his last ever Clover Studio interview but we're too emotional to care. Just watch!
This video feature has a related news story here.
Kikizo recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Atsushi Inaba for one of, if not the final interview of his career under the banner of Clover Studio - one of the most adored dev houses ever to operate as part of a Japanese publisher.
Just two weeks ago today, it was announced that Inaba's Clover studio was to dissolve back into Capcom, and although it's sad to see the loss of his unique seal of quality, one thing you'll learn from this exclusive video interview is that he has no plans for that heritage to stop.
In what we believe is the last ever video interview with Mr Inaba in his role as CEO of the Clover business, you'll get new insight into his time working on everything from Viewtiful Joe to God Hand - and we're certain his talk about the future will cheer up any fan of Clover's games to date.
We got the impression that Inaba's only just getting started. Whether or not his games have a four-leaf clover logo on the box, it seems likely his creations will still be of the rarest, most precious variety for a long time to come.
And with that said, we implore you to check out this feature - especially if you're into (or looking forward to) God Hand, which is a big part of our discussion.
