I really liked Ninja Gaiden games. :(

Wow, he left on the day before NG2's release. I never really played the NG games or DoA so I guess this doesn't suck as much for me :D...

Re: Itagaki (DOA/Ninja Gaiden guy) leaving Tecmo?!
 

Yeah, I saw that earlier, it's pretty crazy. He seems like kindof a dick anyway.

Re: Itagaki (DOA/Ninja Gaiden guy) leaving Tecmo?!
 

Him or the president who won't give him a bonus he should have gotten 3 years ago?

Re: Itagaki (DOA/Ninja Gaiden guy) leaving Tecmo?!
 

Yeah, the President guy. I guess I should have been clearer as to my meaning. It's a tough loss for the company, but if the President is such a dick then he deserves it.

Man, he showed them.

Re: Itagaki (DOA/Ninja Gaiden guy) leaving Tecmo?!
 

Apparently he's still there until July 1st, and that Team Ninja has several projects they're working on.

I don't know if games will be quite the same without Itagaki...

Itagaki pressed Y

"The two top executives in charge of the labor union within Tecmo is suing a joint suit for unpaid wages. The suit was fighted in the Tokyo District Court yesterday, and claims that Tecmo has falsified documents and accounting procedures in regards to employment statuses, overtime pay and various lapses in employment standards when filing documents for labor inspections.

The lawsuit represents the entire company's 300 employees' grievences as a whole, and there might be a 2nd or 3rd wave of lawsuits in regards to the overall employment issue."

hahhaahahhhahaha
