Yet despite his varied experience, he confesses to often feeling like he is pigeonholed as a horror creator. He famously worked on the SNES version of Disney's Aladdin, directed the frenetic shooter Vanquish and offered his guidance for the hack-and-slash adventure Onimusha: Warlords. The 56-year-old is far from a one-trick pony of course, and has mixed things up throughout his illustrious career. In fact, that term was actually coined in the marketing materials of his directorial debut Resident Evil, a watershed release for the PlayStation system that not only defined an entire genre, but also the console generation itself. No one has left a bigger mark on the world of survival horror than Mikami. The legendary director and producer recently spoke to Newsweek about this in an exclusive interview. Shinji Mikami is open-minded about Capcom's leaked remake of Resident Evil 4 and thinks that his game could be improved in a major way. There's nothing concrete to report at this time, but Ono ensures upcoming news on a 'variety of series that will keep the fans happy.Read more These 9 Horror Video Games Will Shake You to Your Core

Capcom registered a trademark for Onimusha in December of last year, but it's been quiet since. The game was the first PlayStation 2 title to break one million copies shipped, and in 2002, Onimusha: Warlords had sold more than two million copies worldwide-making it one of the PlayStation 2's best-selling games during that time. Initially released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, Onimusha: Warlords tells the story of 16th century samurai Samanosuke Akechi, on a mission to save a kidnapped princess.

Ono told DailyStar he's 'spoken internally with people who made Onimusha' with him originally 'and talked about how interesting it would be to revisit that series.' However, the producer is adamant fans of the series shouldn't get excited at this point, as the company is 'not further down the road than the discussion phase.' With Capcom, Ono has been busy with the impending release of Street Fighter V, and is 'not really in a position to start that same level of battle' he said he had to fight to get Street Fighter IV made.
