I googled "Bayonetta Smash Kamiya" and found nothing on the lines of him saying an explicit No to Bayonetta in Smash in tons of images. Seems even less likely when you consider he is friends with Sakurai and both have been spotted together in the past. I only asked you to link me since it removes the chance of me searching badly or picking Tweets I like.

That said, if him celebrating Bayonetta in Smash doesn't count as some form of approval, then we have nothing to say Nintendo went around him or not. I'll drop that subject till someone tries asking him at the risk of being blocked.

Again. 140 characters and not his native language. Kamiya responded to someone asking about custom controls by saying that it isn't necessary. Perhaps, if the question was framed more in depth with a nod to how it stacks very well onto accessible difficulty modes and how it allows disabled gamers to engage more (if he didn't retweet the award Bayonetta 2 got for touch screen controls, I'm sure Hashimoto did). He may have had a different response, goes double if he was being talked to in person.

I said "fellow team mates" since I remember a case of a new developer on the Devil May Cry 1 team suggesting a trip overseas for research and Kamiya approving it according to the developer's account in the DMC 3142 artbook. He seemed good at playing along with new Capcom staff and Nintendo staff already.

Perhaps, he needed to be convinced to say "Yes" and wasn't fond of Bayonetta in Smash Bros. Perhaps it is the opposite and he was glad that he could respond to people talking about it with open arms rather that "Blocked for repeating the same thing!".

Kamiya flipped out at that image? Are you really surprised given that he doesn't welcome pictures of Bayonetta without glasses and has already been bugged by Smash folks for years (and meme folks for long enough). >_> I won't disagree that it is irrational to flip out, but you can't say it is inconsistent or uncalled for him to not care for some jokes.

Thanks for encouraging me to Google though, had a laugh at the other stuff which turned up.

Look into this page if you have free time anyway: http://kamiyatweets.tumblr.com

You don't seem to be a fan of what he says on Twitter but he does share more words suggesting that a PxZ3 may end up having Bayonetta.
