Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya wants every Switch 2 leaker to be “cursed” and “covered in sh*t”

After a year filled with rumors, it’s officially been announced that the Nintendo Switch 2 is on its way. While specifics are yet to be disclosed, we do know it will feature a fresh design, magnetic Joy-Cons, and backward compatibility – details that have generated plenty of anticipation for this upcoming Nintendo console.

Nevertheless, following numerous leaks that spoiled the excitement for numerous gamers, certain developers have voiced their disapproval towards leak sources in today’s games industry. Hideaki Kamiya, the creator of Bayonetta, has been particularly vocal about this issue, asserting that all leakers should be subjected to a curse and drenched in filth.

Hideaki Kamiya on Switch 2 leakers

In a series of tweets, translated somewhat informally, Kamiya expressed his thoughts on the unveiling of Switch 2. He noted that this revelation took away the excitement of surprise, following the touching announcement of Okami 2 last year, a project he is overseeing. As an industry veteran, Kamiya expressed a desire for other developers to experience that same heart-warming moment.

According to the creator of Bayonetta, the individual who leaked information is primarily motivated by personal enjoyment and self-gratification. They were referred to as the “most despicable elements.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve come to understand that those who leak information about upcoming games carry a significant responsibility. Their actions not only spoil the thrill of surprises but also cause distress to the teams tirelessly working on new projects. With Nintendo fans often expressing disappointment over delayed reveals following a year filled with Switch 2 leaks, I firmly believe these leakers are causing more harm than help in our community.

As of now, there’s no set release date, price, or initial game lineup for the Nintendo Switch 2. However, expect more details in an upcoming dedicated Nintendo Direct broadcast on April 2, 2025. Meanwhile, a source with access to inside information hinted at a possible PlayStation State of Play presentation coming up next month as well.
