IGN Wii: Tell us a little about Disaster: Day of Crisis if you will. What's the story?
Hirohide Sugiura: The official announcement has not been made yet, so you may want to ask Nintendo regarding this. When you see it, you may feel that this something different from the types of games we have worked on before.
IGN Wii: Monolith is known for RPGs. What motivated you to start a non-RPG product like Disaster? Or does it have more in common with the role-playing genre than we realize?
Hirohide Sugiura: I think it is only because our company started with RPGs, but we are always examining various ideas and various possibilities. Disaster is one of them. But, it does not mean that we have changed direction. We are also developing a RPG game separately. Please wait for detailed information about Disaster to be disclosed in the future.
IGN Wii: With E3 gone and passed, when can we expect more info on the game? When can we see it in action?
Hirohide Sugiura: The development of the title is reaching to its climax, so I think you can see this some time in the near future. Please ask Nintendo for the timing when it can be revealed.
IGN: Games like Baten Kaitos and Day of Crisis seem to add a more adult feel to Nintendo consoles that are often not seen. Why are mature games such an oddity for the Big N? Do you find that the adult nature of your games add to their success, or hinder them?
Hirohide Sugiura: I do not think Nintendo is not making games for adults. I think Nintendo is creative many new projects and opening up new markets. I believe Disaster falls within this category.
