Team Ninja In-Depth

Posted by Zonk on from the who-doesn't-like-ninjas? dept.

Kimi writes "1up.com had a whole week of Team Ninja coverage the past few days, with exclusive screenshots and a discussion with Tomonobu Itagaki about the Reinvention of DOA. They also looked into DOAX2, Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox 360, an exclusive opening cinematic of DOA4, and punky short film created by Itagaki."

    "...does Tomonobu Itagaki think he's some sort of God? I mean, ...the man is no Miyamoto..."

    Yes, unlike Miyamoto, who is in fact a God.

    There is generally a lot of respect and mutual admiration between game designers. Itagaki is something of an exception; he's extremely arrogant and he's always saying nasty things about other developers and their games.

    He also recently called gamers who couldn't finish Ninja Gaiden on normal difficulty "pussies" (well it was translated as that). I tried pointing that out at 1UP.com here but the asshole running that page kept editing and deleting my posts. I don't know why he has a comments box if he's going to delete and edit anyone that doesn't agree with him, but the point stands, Itagaki is incredibly conceited.
