Preposterous Ryuhei Kitamura cutscenes

bill0527 said:The Wall Street Journal had an article about Itagaki today. Its not up on their website yet, but it has some interesting info.
He hasn't left the company yet, officially. He's resignation doesn't go into effect until July 1st. He filed the lawsuit last May, so this has been something that's brewing for a while and not a situation where he just came into the office one day and blew up that he was quitting and filing a lawsuit.
He said that he "wanted to show that Japan can still produce stunning software" and hopes the new game will remind the world about the talent of Japanese developers at a time when the industry is being increasingly dominated by U.S. companies and developers.
He also said the most difficult mode of Ninja Gaiden II is so hard that even he hasn't been able to complete it, although other members of Team Ninja have.
Spider_Jerusalem said:Wow
Somewhere, Itagaki is laughing hard :lol
Draft said:Hypothetically speaking, the only yawn produced during a Ninja Gaiden 2 session is by your girlfriend after watching you play for 6 straight hours, and before you command her to bring you a beer and a sandwich.
Hypothetically speaking, of course. Because of course you don't have a girlfriend.

Would have gone with the first anyway, but other then theatrics the slam in the second was nothing special.a.wd said:

Watch he'll just make a game called Ninja III and its trailer will say THE TRUE SEQUEL TO NINJA GAIDEN IIHolyStar said:Eh, he will find a job soon. Guess there will be no Ninja Gaiden III
Though the previous game focused on the stoic character of ninjas, Mr. Itagaki, who is known for being a meticulous, hands-on developer, said Ninja Gaiden II is designed to be more universally appealing to players world-wide. "I only included things that everybody likes, like violence, flowers, children, women, friendship and death," he said.
He deliberately included easier playing modes to attract new users, but fans of his famously challenging games won't be disappointed. Mr. Itagaki said the most difficult mode is so hard that even he hasn't been able to complete it, though others on his team can.

juicyfruitas said:At first I was like - DAMM! and then i read the fine print and saw that the stock dropped from 1100 yen to just below 1000. A 10% drop isn't really thaaaaaat big of a deal IMO, or at least in the way that this chart visually represents. Keep in mind that the charts spread starts at 900 yen and ends at 1180.
It'd look far less dramatic if the chart spreaded from zero to 1180.
duckroll said:Not that big of a deal? That's a 2 dollar drop. If you have 100 shares, you just lost 200 bucks.
juicyfruitas said:105 yen = $1
112 yen drop = $1.06 loss. chump change IMO.

Dead or Alive 4, Tecmo Co., Ltd. had agreed to pay a completion bonus to me for this Xbox 360 title, which I produced
Yeah, it'd be one thing if the share were trading at like $200/share, but it's only about $10/share, so as stated, percentage-wise, roughly 10% is a pretty significant drop (especially when the stock looks like it's been pretty stable +/- 10 JPY or so for the past week). Personally, I would've dumped the stock upon hearing this news too.duckroll said:$1.06 loss *per share*. It's bad news when a stable share of high value takes a drop, if it recovers it doesn't matter, but it could get even worse. It's just a start of shareholders showing a lack of confidence on the company.
