Tomonobu Itagaki’s New Game Revealed Today: What Will It Be?!?

Earlier in the week, Tomonobu Itagaki — the man behind Tecmo’s Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden games — revealed that his next project will be shown at E3 2010. Valhalla Game Studios — the company Itagaki started after leaving Tecmo — has updated its site and revealed that the first wave of info will hit today! The game will be shown tonight on Spike TV’s pre-E3 special at 8:30PM Pacific Time.

I’m really looking forward to Itagaki’s new game…which is kind of weird because I’m pretty sure I find him more interesting than his games. Don’t get me wrong, I think Ninja Gaiden is fantastic and I’ve enjoyed lots of DOA Xtreme over the years. As a verbal entertainer, I enjoy Itagaki’s brash and bold personality (it’s easy to get interesting quotes from him). Plus, there was this one time in band camp Japan where we made this rookie journalist wait outside the interview room while we smoked and chatted about nothing — good times.

Anyway, let me know if you’re interested in Itagaki’s big reveal. What are you expecting? Will it have ninjas? Is it a fighting game? Will it feature buxom wenches playing volleyball? Or is it going to be something unexpected? Whatever it is, I’m sure it will look stunning. I can’t wait!

  1. I have no clue what to expect really. He said he made the action game he always wanted to make with Ninja Gaiden 2. While that game had some camera issues, I won't deny that I had a good amount of fun playing it.

    I think he moves into a survival horror type of game now. I don't think he can eclipse his NG series in terms of action.

  2. @smartguy Survival horror by Itagaki would be fascinating. He didn't really have the opportunity to explore that at Tecmo since the company already had Fatal Frame. I wonder if female zombies in his game would have huge boobs….

  3. @Ray

    I bet if they wiggle too much one or both would come right off. You know how he likes physics.

  4. I think now that he is free of Tecmo, he should finally break down and make the wolds best porn game. Won't happen at E3, but that should be on his bucket list IMO.

    LOL @ Ray making the newb journalist sit outside while he smoked with a big developer. You know that had to screw with him.

  5. It's called Devil's Third. Lots of crazy gun and sword gameplay. I'm digging it so far.
