Loudmouth Team Ninja chief sounding off again - Plus Ninja Gaiden commitment made!
Platform opinions voiced as Gaiden picks up pace
Tecmo’s Team Ninja boss and lead developer for Dead or Alive 3, Tomonobu Itagaki, has again been piping up with his opinions on next generation platform.
When asked about the possibility of porting DOA 2 to either GameCube or PlayStation 2, Itagaki said, “First of all I'd like to offer a lucrative position with Team Ninja to developers who make such a claim. I know for a fact that it is impossible to port DOA3's contents to PS2 without degrading the quality drastically. I'll have a better chance of mimicking it on the GameCube but it will never be as good as the Xbox version. One obvious reason is the lack of hard drive in other systems.”
When pressed over the future reincarnation of the Ninja Gaiden series, he said, “Let me tell all the fans of Ninja Gaiden that I will never disappoint them. That's all I can tell you for now.”
That’ll do! We like Tomonobu Itagaki a great deal. He shoots from the hip and tells it how it is. He also said that Tekken is “a piece of sh*t” which is very, very funny, for all kinds of reasons. Rock on!
