Senran Kagura creator loves his Switch, hoping to make player dreams a reality with Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura

A portion of a Gamer interview with Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki...

Gamer: It feels like it’s been a while since you’ve worked on a Nintendo platform.

Takaki: The Switch is great. I like it.

Gamer: Again, it’s a little tough to evaluate something that’s been out for only a month [at the time of the interview], but I can certainly feel the immense sense of expectations.

Takaki: You know, after playing it on the TV and then taking it outside, as in actually having it out there your everyday life, I feel that it is a lot more convenient than I expected.

Gamer: Do you? Outside?

Takaki: Yes, I do. I’m always playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the train, although I didn’t bring it today. I occasionally see other people playing, but it moves me when I look back at the GameBoy days and think “I can play these kinds of games outdoors.”

Gamer then moves onto the next topic of Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura...

Takaki: Well, I want to make what everyone has in mind about it become a reality. That’s actually the mindset I’ve had about creating things for the longest time.
