It’s a game that was released for only one console and didn’t even have a sequel.

God Hand was released for the PS2 on September 14, 2006 in Japan, October 10, 2006 in North America, February 16, 2007 in Europe and February 21, 2007 in Australia. It was developed by Clover Studio, one of Capcom’s in-house studios. Hideki Kamiya worked there. He also directed the first Viewtiful Joe and Ōkami (the former for PS2 and GameCube, the latter for PS2 only). Other games from the studio include Viewtiful Joe 2 (GameCube, PlayStation 2), Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble (GameCube, PSP), Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble (Nintendo DS), and God Hand was the team’s final game.

WCCFTech interviewed Goichi Suda (Suda51) and Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil, about Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered at Gamescom. The site asked which games or series they would like to bring back. Mikami immediately said God Hand 2. So he wants to make a sequel (he directed God Hand). There was a lot of cheering in the room.

Unfortunately, there’s not much chance of that happening, since Capcom owns the God Hand IP, which the Japanese publisher has essentially done nothing with for the past 18 years. But if there’s enough interest, it could be a chance for Mikami, who has made some notable games at Capcom (later, The Evil Within at Tango Gameworks wasn’t bad either, and that’s just one example), to give more modern gamers a chance to experience why God Hand was so unique that it became a cult classic.

Hopefully Capcom will give Miki a chance, because with the RE engine, a sequel to God Hand could be quite memorable. It wouldn’t be up to Mikami, so they might have to convince the Japanese publisher somehow.
