However, with a masterpiece on their hands and the Cube's relatively small install base, the company wanted to bring the title to PlayStation 2.
Mikami vehemently opposed the idea, threatening to quit Capcom if it went ahead and saying in an interview that he would "cut his own head off" if it happened.
