Gitaroo Man was once planned for Dreamcast

@CaptivNation
Is it true that Gitaroo Man was originally supposed to come out on the Dreamcast? I remember reading an old interview where that was briefly mentioned.

Yep. PS2 announced while we were in planning stages so we made the switch.

For the best, I would figure.

Was it a difficult game to pitch to publishers? Why do you think Koei was receptive to it?

Truth be told we only pitched it to Koei at the time so not sure if it would’ve been tough or not. The team at Koei wanted a title like this so it was a right place right time scenario.
