Boktai – 2003 Developer Interview

http://shmuplations.com/boktai/

In this 2003 interview, former Konami creative Hideo Kojima discusses the production of, and inspirations behind, the Game Boy Advance title Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand, an isometric vampire-hunting adventure game with stealth elements that makes heavy use of both a photometric light sensor and a real-time clock chip to simulate the in-game presence of the sun.

Boktai would spawn two sequels and a successor game for Nintendo DS, as well as a handful of highly-celebrated in-game crossovers with Capcom’s Mega Man Battle Network series, but Kojima would later state his dissatisfaction with the overall reception of the series, which he attributed to his lack of direct involvement past the original game.

Comments

Interesting, I was curious to know about this series, because of the Easter Egg references in MGS4. On Twitter, you might want to hashtag it to Kojima and his fans about this interview (He would favourite it out of nostalgia, and his fans would want to know more about his past work). Edit: Thanks for taking my advice, I seen it on Twitter. It's for the best to hashtag on the interview tweet post, for fans to know about how their favourite games are done.
