Man, Ninja Gaiden only had one sequel…
Tecmo is done. Itagaki recently announced his resignation and lawsuit on Tecmo for unpaid wages. I'm not sure if Tecmo realizes that Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive were the only real games paying their light bill. Honestly, Team Ninja was Tecmo. Horny old dunkard, Itagaki was the revenue stream.
I only hope that, since in this day and age there will probably be no reconciliation, EA does not take the opportunity to purchase Tecmo and the Ninja Gaiden franchise.
The gaming industry has taken another blow, a moment of silence...
I wonder who will get the chance to scoop up Itagaki? Please say Capcom: Rockman Zero meets Ninja Gaiden? Too sick. Street Figher Action/RPG? Hah, lemme stop -- we all know he needs to take his ass to Sega and finish up Shenmue because Yu Suzuki is slacking!
