Behind the Scenes

Developer Commentary

"Inafune was the one checking my work on Seahorse. He really twisted my arm on that one, and kept saying 'Make him longer!' Personally, I always thought of seahorses as cute little creatures that are tucked into a compact, little twist shape, but Inafune just kept saying, 'Longer! Longer!' (laughs) I guess Inafune wanted Seahorse to be longer to balance out with the other boss characters, because he kept pushing me and saying, 'I know you can go longer!' (laughs)" - (Tatsuya Yoshikawa)[1]

Nomenclature

Language Name Origin
