"That's Some Real Coward S***" - Hideki Kamiya Discusses The Fallout From The Bayonetta 3 Voiceover Controversy | Nintendo Life
"Man, that was seriously lame"

Hideki Kamiya just dropped a video calling out the Bayonetta 3 voice-over drama as “some real coward s***.” Before the game’s 2022 release, original actress Hellena Taylor was swapped for Jennifer Hale over pay issues, sparking a nasty social-media mob that even dragged Kamiya into the mix. He spent days frantically blocking waves of abusive tweets—some from high-profile accounts that later quietly deleted their attacks—then ranted that if you’re gonna bulldoze someone online, you should at least own up and publicly apologize when you’re wrong.
Thankfully, the dust-up didn’t stop Bayonetta 3 from slaying critics, and the franchise is stronger than ever. Kamiya’s since left PlatinumGames and is gearing up to team with Capcom on an Okami sequel, proving that sometimes the best response to online chaos is simply great games.
