Nier automata director wishes for PS VITA 2 or at least a smaller version of switch, which is a bit too big for him ( as a handheld console ) !

Nothing for dedicated handhelds. Only a couple of ios games. Outside of that he has pretty much just worked on Arcade and console games. He is great at atory telling but a poor game designer. Why he needed Platinum since while Nier was functional it was broken as a game. Drakengard games play pretty much like shit. The arcade games he worked on he only worked on backgrounds. He is not a developer you go to for hardware input or game design. He's the guy you go to for a well written and fucked up story.

Actually, Taro is a good designer and a great creative director. His past games were constrained by low budget and poor development teams.

If he just handed out the game's scenario and had no further involvment, NieR Automata could have for all we know joined Legend of Korra, Transformers and Star Fox Zero as the 4th mediocre PG game in a row.

PG B Team is really good but Miyamoto forced that game to be what it is and Activision gave them so little time.
