And that's not even his desk, for all we know that's where Keiji Inafune sits. ;P

Yeah, people need to read the fine print. Mikami works WITH Capcom, not AT or UNDER Capcom. That can include anything from advising positions (as seems to be the case with RE5) to flat out directing a game. He could be doing the same with Seeds.
Still, while this new company may seem like Clover under a new name, remember that they're not exactly funded by Capcom anymore (the way they were as Clover), so they may not have the capacity to create another Okami-like epic project unless they have a crapton of money or have good funders willing to go with their next big idea. Don't get your hopes up too high and be disappointed. Be realistic in your expectations.

DS, PS3, or Wii?

Believe.
Like cvxfreak pointed out, we can't be too certain about how much money the studio is sitting on, so maybe a big-budget PS3 game is out of the question. So Wii or DS would seem like pretty feasible possibilities. Personally, I'd like to see them just put out a small but ambitious game for the DS, one with a few really cool ideas carried out well instead of embarking on something totally epic. Maybe something commercial and viable so that they can make some $$$ before moving on to more adventurous places. But really, I just want to see them put out a great, inventive and awesome game. Anything from these guys, I hope, will be pure gold. Kamiya's got that Midas Touch, anyway.

That would be ideal. I could totally see great, epic games coming from them and being ignored again.

something tells me considering the pedigree of this studio, they're gonna have their choice of working with Sony, MS, or Nintendo, and they're gonna get to do whatever they want.keanerie said:
there's no way in hell publishers aren't willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt. sure, you can bring up that their games bombed, but who's fault was that? the team, or the suits at capcom?
these guys won't have any trouble getting adequate funding.

I really hope Kamiya and Inaba's new studio doesn't go all Artoon on us like... Artoon.

Loved Clover but this story for me is all about Mikami. I know he is basically like a free lance developer that is working with Capcom at the moment but if he finds a permanent home with Seeds that means no more Mikami and RE. 
I hope he finds a way to work with both companies.

I'm not sure why, but this news kinda dissappoints me.
For starters, I'm not all that thrilled about the name. I just getting to accept "Clover" before they canned it, "Seeds" will take even longer. But that's hardly the problem.
I was kind of hoping these people would find their place inside another well established company. So we could see their talents added to larger projects and sooner. When I look at the other start-up companies that were formed similar to this, there is nothing there that excites me. It's basically low-budget games that have potentional, but not enough substance to really satisify. Without knowing what type of backing they have, I don't know if this really good news.
I suppose any of the big 3 are potentional backers. I want to see them develope what they want and not be tied-down to anyone. I'd also like to see them have a huge hit on their hands. Personally, I think I'd preffer it if Capcom was behind them to start ... similar to Clover but with full independence.

:lol Why do you think Clover was close down in the first place?
I think Atsushi Inaba's made it pretty clear he's really not interested in developing for the Wii. That said, the legion of fanboys that gushed into this thread to express their desire to see these newly independent developers get consumed by the fanboys' first party of choice was amusing, to say the least.

Even if he personally isn't, that doesn't say anything for resident Ninty fan Shinji Mikami, he-whose-name-is-synonmous-with-bad-ass-gaming Hideki Kamiya, or any one else who may happen to be on their staff. And of course, his opinions are very open to change since last time he may have been quoted, much like the other formerly "not interested in Wii" Koji Igarashi.
Besides, if their overall direction is going to be some what similar to their time as Clover, they'll probably be focusing on the "lower-end/cost effective" consoles first, and work their way up from there. And barring PS2 being an option, I think the Wii is next in line, with 360 possibly being an interesting choice too.

I'd hit a 360 like a double cheeseburger for that.sonarrat said:

Although, I personally felt God Hand was a heaping pile of shit, and that heaping pile of shit belong to Shinji Mikami, who's not a part of Seed. Only problem I found with your translation posted on your blog

I don´t know shit, but could you explain yourself?
I've narrowed the search down to your posts and I must say that you are seriously overstating what he was saying. Twice, in that search results, you claimed that he said that the Wii was a bad idea, but in the first quote he talked about having ideas for the Sixaxis, and in the second he was saying that it's not a good idea to try to make a game just around a controller and that Okami would have been different had it been designed for Wii. In my search I also found a statement that he had ideas for the Wii. He was hardly clear about not be interested in Wii.ethelred said:

His name does appear on the website. Gaijin bolded it.
