Didn’t think Capcom would work with rival.
Keiji Inafune was “80 per cent certain” that the company would refuse Level 5’s request to collaborate on a crossover Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright game, the Capcom producer has revealed in an interview.
“I thought it would be impossible,” he said in an interview in this today’s Weekly Famitsu, translated by Eurogamer, in which he spoke alongside his Level 5 compatriot Akihiro Hino.
Inafune said that he didn’t expect veteran Phoenix Wright director Shu Takumi to agree to the project because “Phoenix Wright is handled very carefully within Capcom” – also joking that he expected it to be difficult since Takumi is someone who “doesn’t listen to what people say”.
