During E3, NWR spoke with Platinum Games' Hideki Kamiya, who is currently directing The Wonderful 101 and supervising development on Bayonetta 2.

NWR recently had the opportunity to sit down with Hideki Kamiya, director for Wonderful 101 and supervisor on Bayonetta 2, and one of the topics explored was how the game creator felt about difficulty levels in action games.

The NOA President seems comfortable with having the least restrictive used game policy, and doesn't see Nintendo stopping physical sales of games any time soon.

Reggie Fils-Aime told Polygon in a recent interview that the best way to deal with issues concerning the used games market is simply to "ensure their games are so good that people don't want to trade them in."
