I'm a retro junkie. Screw this bump mapped normal mapped anti stropic filtered bloom lighted HDR enhanced 3D model crap, give me sprites, static backgrounds, scrolling screens, slowdown when I shoot up the place a little too much.

Tecmo - Itagaki = Fail
RJG \| 8:37 PM on 06.15.2008	13 comments

This is getting interestinger and interestinger.

So Itagaki (aka GOD) has left Tecmo after they refused to pay his bonus. Now a good chunk of his former team are also leaving for the same reason.

As a result, Tecmo's stock price is taking a beating, since I can't think of another Tecmo game that is equal to the calibre of Ninja Gaiden, not to mention the whole “not telling the stockholders” thing in the article above, which, if I know finance, is VERY BAD.

So Itagaki is now a free spirit and, I would guess, in talks with Mircosoft? He seems to like them, they seem to like him. He could hire his 36 brothers from Team Ninja back and they could get back to work.

Meanwhile, Tecmo's price will tumble, and eventually they will get bought out, probably.

Probably by...Mircosoft.

Who will put Itagaki in charge of Ninja Gaiden and DOA again.

And all will be right with the world.

A guy can dream, can't he?

...I'm gonna miss Itagaki and his crazy ninja ways...

Ninja Gaiden 2 has the worst camera I've ever used in a game.

Otherwise, it was awesome. Just saying.

That is the perfect scenario.

There's more to Tecmo than Itagaki.

yeah like tecmo bowl.

Itakagi is a homo. Sorry his games are way overhyped and all tend to mediocre, compared to what he thinks of them.

"As a result, Tecmo's stock price is taking a beating, since I can't think of another Tecmo game that is equal to the calibre of Ninja Gaiden "

they still have the Fatal Frame series

Scape

Quick, name another game by Tecmo besides Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive. I bet most people couldn't.

trapt :)

Mr Lazy

maybe now he'll sign with a company that knows how to make decent camera angles for games, NG2 is great but come on the game is hard enough without the damn camera screwing things up

@wario67

I don't think Tecmo Bowl, Fatal Frame, and Deception series are really big sellers....
