During a keynote speech at the Tokyo Game Show 2010, SUDA51 claimed the roots of codename D could be traced back to a meeting at the Tokyo Game Show 2009, where he met members of Microsoft who offered Grasshopper an opportunity to develop a Xbox 360 title supporting Kinect. SUDA51 pitched an idea which was accepted by the publishers, and "even though the contracting process after that wasn't very smooth," the deal was finalized and Grasshopper began development on codename D. SUDA51 professed that "Until Kinect, we were all making games while being bound to the controller," so the freedom offered by Kinect's lack of remote has allowed Grasshopper to continue developing unique material.
Kinect Bundle[]
Kinect Bundle is a video game compilation in which Diabolical Pitch appears, containing five complete games marketed for Kinect peripherals. In addition to Diabolical Pitch, the set also features Dragon's Lair, Wreckateer, Haunt and Home Run Stars. The compilation was released to Xbox Live Arcade on July 17, 2013 for the price of 800 Microsoft Points.
