To All Game Fans
I truly feel sorry to all the fans of the games I have made. NINJA GAIDEN 2, which will launch on the 3rd of June (voor ons 6 juni dus, -red.) will be the last NINJA GAIDEN I will create. I will also never be able to make DEAD OR ALIVE 5. I regret the circumstances that have forced me to leave Tecmo, where I had worked for so many years, and I regret the disappointment this will cause my fans.
However, I can no longer continue to work with President Yoshimi Yasuda, a man who chooses not to honor promises even when he is able to do so.
I truly hope that nothing like this happens again in the future.

Thats very shocking news to me apparently he was promised a bonus when DOA 4 was finished that he did not receive.
And now close to the Ninja Gaiden 2 release he leaves,Yoshimi Yasuda must be kicking himself right now...or hired someone to do it for him..
Oww well Im pretty sure Itagaki will be ok he is probably negotiating with some other companies as we speak..
Lets hope he creates some new IP wherever he goess cause he knows what a lot of people want and thats ninja's.:cool:
