Would you like to see Itagaki going to Microsoft?

[Isildur´s Heir]

There is nothing that points to that, but there is nothing that points against it either.
We all know that Itagaki loves the 360, and loves to work with Microsoft...and he is out of a job.
How cool would it be for Microsoft to take him and a bunch of people that were also fired from Tecmo and gave them a job, open of a new studio and put Itagaki in charge?
IMO, it would be awesome for Microsoft and the 360, to have a man of Itagaki´s talent and vision.
Imagine what he could do, imagine the exclusives the 360 would have?

Who?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Who?

The man responsible for Ninja Gaiden.

 

[Nightmare]

Damn he got fired? Woah.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Damn he got fired? Woah.

He quit. Apparently new management didn't give him some bonuses he was promised.

 

[Nightmare]

Oh. If he quit he can just go to the competition just like that?

 

[StrainedEyes]

Oh. If he quit he can just go to the competition just like that?

Well, he actually quit and sued them. MS isn't really competition, but as long as he doesn't give out any company secrets he could go wherever he wants.

Yea, him and a hand full of other employees. Altho Tecmo claims they "fired" him.

I don't care about Cookie Face

Considering Itagaki's love of the Xbox brand, I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting a Microsoft funded studio like Sakaguchi's Mistwalker.

Let's not forget the sexual harassment charges...
The man's a creep...

that would be awesome if itagaki worked for microsoft... it'll be our secret weapon

 

[Soapy]

The man's a creep...

Let's not forget he was found innocent.

 

[BATZARRO WWD]

Maybe he could make a game called Code Cronus?

 

[Nightmare]

Im guessing he's gonna settle his lawsuit with Tecmo then decide what to do next. Depending on what happens there to see where he goes on next.

speaking of Tecmo, I would LOVE for them to reboot the football genre of gaming and tell EA to GTFO. This Itagaki guy should deff do something for xbox

1. Tecmo can't do a proper football game because EA has the exclusive rights to the NFL and NFL Players Association licenses. There will be new Tecmo Bowl games for the DS and Wii but they won't have anything to do with the NFL like previous games in the series.

2. Itagaki does stuff for the Xbox all the time. He loves the Xbox with a freaking passion that pretty much all of his games that all of his games with the exception of one, have ended up on the Xbox and Xbox 360. He hates the Playstation platforms as much as he loves the Xbox ones and refuses to develop for them.

I still think he's creepy...
What's he hiding behind those shades
