Tecmo Talk Dead Or Alive, Ninja Gaiden

Thanks to Gamers.com for posting two in-depth interviews with Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki about his Xbox-exclusive titles, one discussing Dead Or Alive Online, and the other regarding the forthcoming Ninja Gaiden. Discussing other products, Itagaki tries to claim that "..the female designers came up with more radical, more sexy [swimsuit] designs than the male designers" for Dead Or Alive:Xtreme Beach Volleyball, but then admits that the super-risque Venus swimsuit was his own creation, and stirs up trouble trashing substandard Xbox ports: "To be honest, I'm sick and tired of all these recent cheap multi-platform games. They take data coded for low-end machines, sprinkle a bit of anti-aliasing on top, and try to pass the thing off as an Xbox game. I would never do that kind of work, at least."

Even worse, is that way back (if memory serves, it was before the 'Cube and XBox even came out), Tecmo had a poll about "What system would you like to see the new Ninja Gaiden on?"

The Gamecube ran away with the votes. PS2 had about 1/2 as many, followed by the GBA. The XBox had roughly 1% of the votes.

Gee, Tecmo, thanks for respecting your fans' opinions after taking the trouble to *ask*.
