It's a bullshit quote, anon. It just gets perpetuated because he's kind of an asshole. I don't think that Rare would be given stewardship of the character for so long if he hated it, nor would the design have endured as long as it did. By all accounts, he was pretty gung-ho about what they were doing, and the oft-repeated quote about him being shocked about DK holding a Goldeneye shotgun omits that he laughed about the idea of the coconut gun.
