It's time for more arrogant statements from everyone's favorite misogynistic game developer! In an interview with Kotaku, Team Ninja's leader Tomonobu "Bitch Please" Itagaki announced that his upcoming bloodfest Ninja Gaiden 2 would be the last game in the series, and that we are to consider it a "swan song" for the franchise. Personally, I find this incredibly hard to believe, considering that a) Ninja Gaiden brings in tons of money to pay for his nightly visits to the strip club, and b) he saw the need to update/remake the first Ninja Gaiden not once, but twice before the sequel was even released.

Speaking of the original game, which saw a PS3 remake, Kotaku inquired as to whether or not Itagaki would consider making a Ninja Gaiden "swan song" for the PS3. His reply?

That would be ridiculous.

A big round of applause for one of the few developers who actually manage to be console fanboys! Because seriously, fuck Sony and their PS Triples! You didn't even want to make Ninja Gaiden Sigma, you just needed a bit more settlement money so your female coworkers wouldn't sue your ass into oblivion!

When asked what he'd like to make next, now that he will "never" return to the Ninja Gaiden series, Itagaki confirmed that he wants to work with something completely new and not tied to any existing franchise (re: the Dead or Alive series that he manages to mix into whatever he's doing). So what is his grand, original idea?

I think it would be cool to work with an American developer and do a game based on the Pacific Theater.

That's right, just what we need, another WWII game! For Japan, this may be an original idea, especially if they don't throw in werewolves and zombies, but he's pitching this to Americans? We practically wrote the fucking book on the war! Even Call of Duty has abandoned the subject matter in favor of its own story!

There is a silver lining here, though. If the idea of a Japanese developer making a WWII game turns too many heads and is too politically troublesome, Itagaki says he'd like to address the same issues and themes - in space. That's right, Space Hitler and Astro Nazis. God bless you, Itagaki, God bless you.
