Wow, Devil's Third downgradeaton confirmed. I'm just waiting for Ueda to turn in TLG in to Sony now. It'll turn out to be his rendition of Pong.
It's the equivalent of hiring a three-star chef to have him flip burgers.This is what iconic japenese developers have stooped too? Jesus why bother being a video game fan anymore

Fair enough, still sad. Also, "participated in planning" seems like he's lending his name to the game more than anything.Not really. It's more like getting a famous chef to "design" a burger which will be sold at some cheap mass market franchise joint.
Having played two levels, I can safely say it is your average brick breaker clone. Aside from keeping the developer's HR department employed, Itagaka's main contribution, as near as I can tell, was to snort lines of coke and then decide that adding a power up that lets you tap the blocks was a huge gamechanger.
Yuji Naka delivered with Power of Coin, so I reckon I'll give this a go before writing it off in an impotent wail. Assuming it hits iOS, of course.
Finally, a spiritual successor to Ninja Gaiden!
Actually, it doesn't solve the problem really because the powerup is timed and you still have no control over when you get it or can use it. Other clones have solved that problem more elegantly. Anodia, for example, has the best solution I've seen-- it gives you a timed black hole that recharges.and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap and swipe and tap and tap and tap and tap and tap
Well... the problem with Breakout games was always that last one block that your ball keeps missing..... GAMECHANGER!
