Nomura talks PS3, Super Smash Bros

IGN has an interesting joint interview with Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series and Tetsuya Nomura, Square-Enix superstar and driving force behind the newer titles in the Final Fantasy series.

He commented on the hot topic surrounding the PS3 - the price, saying "Right now, as a game machine, it's too expensive. If the hard disk and Blu-ray spread, in line with that, the situation for the PS3 will change in one to two years. At the present, it's definitely too expensive, but I believe that when the games are there, it will change naturally." He also expressed belief that, at the time of Final Fantasy's release, the price will be cheaper.

He also commented on the inclusion of Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. When asked what he thought, he replied "That was very surprising," said Nomura. "Cloud won't make an appearance?" asked Kojima. "We didn't get an offer," responded Nomura with a laugh.
