There are a few certainties when it comes to Team Ninja game designer, Tomonobu Itagaki.
- 1. He's always going to be wearing a jacket that's cooler than yours.
- 2. He's going to hit on your mom.
- 3. While there have been a few misses (Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 says "Hi."), Itagaki-san has a pretty solid track record, and his games are generally of high quality.
- 4. He's going to brag about it. A lot.
So no one is surprised when, in a recent interview, he says something like this to Game Informer:
I’d like to show everybody some of the new stuff that we’ve been working on in the near future. The only problem with that is that when the other developers see what we’re doing, they’re going to lose all of their motivation to create any game in the same genre, because there’s no way they can beat it.
Itagaki's talking about his yet to be revealed titles, Code Chronos and Ninja Gaiden 2. This solves a lot of problems for gamers; with rising prices of software and hardware, it's becoming increasingly difficult to balance videogame budgets with things like food, gas, and home. Problem solved -- now we only have to buy two games this generation.
Thanks, Itagaki.

..seriously for like 2 years.
SSHHHH!! Don't let him hear you, or he'll honor-kill you with his COCK.
That's it, man. Between Itagaki and David Jaffe, it has officially become a bad idea for developers to even try talking about their own games. You'd think they were talking about their high school football teams.
Will Wright may continue to speak, as he tends not to make an ass of himself on a regular basis.
Mother of G-man, this makes me angry.
No kidding? Hope that was a friendly challenge, cuz I'm running out of role models...
"It's the future of gaming."
"People will bow to it."
Samantha: "That... is a great idea."
J.P.: "Those are the only kind I have."
Yes, I was kidding. :D
I noticed that too. That would be an impressive feat.
<---gullible
Ninja Gaiden 2 could come into play on which next-gen system I get. Any word from him on which way it will go?
Sounds like you weren't good enough to beat Ninja Gaiden...that's ok, go suckle on your mom's teet for a while and you'll feel better, I promise.
You forgot John Romero and Peter Molyneux.
As for Itagaki...more power to him...I love it. Keep up the outstanding work...and never change!
Holy shit, where did that come from?
@AgentMOO: lolz
DoA sucks
if he does speak like JP, I hope to god its in the robot voice.
"Please, sit on my face"
They are like school in the summer time.
Guitar Wolf started making games when they realized that Wild Zero was too awesome to be contained simply on the silver screen.
Then they combed their hair, took a jello shot, cut a zombie in half with a sword and said "ROCK AND ROLL!"
And thus Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox was born.
And it's a true fact: Itagaki was born wearing shades, YES SIR!
