>Final Words

The flame of my life is finally about to be extinguished.

The fact that this message has been posted means that time has finally come. I am no longer in this world.
(I have asked someone important to post this final message.)

My life was a continuous battle. I kept winning.
I also caused a lot of trouble.

I take pride in having fought to the end, following my convictions.
I have no regrets.

But I am filled with regret that I could not deliver new work to all my fans. I'm sorry.

That's how it is.
So it goes.

rip to a real nigga

i vividly remember my grandfather doing this as well

like one day we all saw him sat on a hospital bed silently writing something on a piece of paper and like a day or two later he just fucking died out of nowhere
and the first thing he wrote on that paper was that he felt he was going to die the next day and that he accepts it

How did he die?

>>723379297
nah don't worry c.uck was filtered almost immediately while other gay fag terms are still allowed. Mods love this fucking trash.

Rest in Peace.
I enjoyed his games, hope they don't pussify them in the future

Rest in peace, King.

Still don't get why this guy got famous. He didn't make a lot of games and Ninja Gaiden wasn't even good.

>>723379115

Japan recognized at the time that American media loved "rockstar" figures and drama and Itagaki leaned in on that hard.

move to this thread

>Itagaki died before Harada
nothing good happens in this world

Harada on his youtube channel once said that he thought Itagaki really hated Tekken, but after finally getting to know him he realized he was doing wrestling like smack talk to liven up the 3d fighter scene. He also talked how he is a fun guy to hang around with and he glad he was at his wedding.

RIP Itagaki. Ninja Gaiden 2 was really good.

He's with his DOA girls up in heaven having the time of his life

RIP oatmeal cookie-sama

It's so owari da

>>723379562
>>723379507

RIP. Guy made some great video games.

Wasn't he not even 60? He looked kinda like shit. Cancer?

That was the most retarded shit imaginable. People were getting real sensitive over it too and now it's like the guy never even existed.

RIP, we won't get another guy like him before a long time.

How many times jabbed?

Yiff in hell.

>>723379636
I still to this day will be banned for Nintendo criticism for dumb shit they can pin you for. The moderators here are heavily tendo biased

So it goes.

>You must sign in to view this post.
I shan't.

>>723379694
Devil's Third counts and it's kino fuck you

>>723378998
Probably because it's not Nintendo dev. This board is dominated by Nintendo zealots.

>>723379562
No stay here. It will be stickied any moment now .

does this mean that the real version of NG2 can finally be ported?

>>723379115
That's really sad, but also what a cool goodbye message. He was a badass till the very end.

Never forget these people deserve the hate.

Harada replied
嘘だろ板垣さん、今度飲もうって言ってたじゃないか!

DeepL translation:
No way, Itagaki! You said we'd grab drinks next time!

>>723379713
Because his closest dude posted it on bluesky.

I never played any of his games but F, he sounds like a really cool dude based on >>723379115 and >>723379136
I kind of want to try his games now, I guess I should go for Ninja Gaiden. Are the collections a good place to start? As a KH2FMfag (that still had to cheese for critical mode) will I like it?

80% of the world's population got at least 1 dosage of the vaxx. If there was any widespread issues, we'd see it literally across the entire planet.

I'll always remember him as my favorite game director who made my favorite game ever, Ninja Gaiden 2. He was the best of the best. Rest in peace, Itagaki.

you don't have to make your bait this obvious man

the ninja gaiden 4 devs must be celebrating as this is going to boost the sales of their shitty game

>>723379115
did he get to fuck doa tier women in his life time?

>He was sacrificed to boost sales
Fuck

Cancer or suicide?

>>723380694
He made some pretty great action and fighting games.

All of these people who made 80s, 90s, and 00s Japan what it was dropping ;_;

>>723380715
You're too cynical

>>723378674 (OP)
I know he didn't work on the series anymore but why did he have to die just when I was getting into DOA... thank you for everything o7

Thanks, Mods. Today, you weren't fags.

he was murdered for advertising purposes

bless you master ninja, F

alright, cool japanese man. I'll now play your games

wtf, how

>>723380731
The way his last post was written kind of implies it was an illness

>>723380694
He's like Kamiya in that all of his games suck but he makes funny outrageous statements.

>it's real
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Gonna play some DOA4 later

Give it up

rip master ninja
one of the only fucks who actually cared about anything

>>723380474
He's going to shit on Ninja Gaiden 4

>>723380694
That is fine but his games were still good I guess minus Devil's Third but I never played that so can't say for sure.

>>723380732
I know who he is, I'm familiar with his work,and it sucks that he's dead. Just never had any interest in his games. Not sure him dying is going to change that.

kek what a fucking chad

Say what you want about him. His studio and his right hand men are the only people left making games with depth and sexy characters now.

Of course, just look at him. He was a gigachad.

literally just starting life
feels bad man

>I take pride in having fought to the end, following my convictions.
I have no regrets.
I hope I could say this when I die.

>>723380510
We unironically need more unapologetic developers like him. Guy truly embraced the rock star mentality. He just didn't give a fuck what anyone thought, was outspoken about what he didn't like and did so in an amusing yet stoic way. What a one of a kind guy. He makes modern developers look like fucking pussies.

>>723379115

Damn, he was only 58? Thought for sure he was older

ninja gaiden black is one of the all time greatest games ever made. RIP to a real one.

About five months ago, Itagaki said in an interview that he was still working on a new game. It's sad it'll never happen at this point. I just wonder what it was.

>>723379115
>My life was a continuous battle. I kept winning.

>>723379210
You know, I distinctly remember my grandma talking about someone passing away at 50-something and her calling him a "young man". I laughed back then.
Now that I'm 30, it's not funny anymore. It will happen to you, too.

he's so fucking cool, RIP.

>>723381032
I know exactly the meaning of those words, tertiary. They hurt, uh? You will never belong there, take a screenshot and fuck off.

I thought his games were ass but his quotes made me laugh, in that way he died as he lived, I guess.

>>723380923
Devils Third had been expensive for a few years at least, collector niggers drove up the price.

In terms of fighting game creators? I don't want to think about it too much but Ken Lobb is several years older than itagaki

>>723379576
I thought when you do media beef like this you're supposed to ask for permission first. Unless they actually do and itagaki is just that based.

RIP. Guess it's finally time for me to play NG2 360 all the way through.

>>723381205
It's an official back compat game which means the emulation is damn near perfect because MIcrosoft doesn't let anything with any kind of bugs on back compat

Everything he did was cool. Today, they focus too much on seriousness and unbridled realism. It fucking sucks.

>>723381432
Yup, you have him to thank for all the DOA girls you fapped to.

Was Ninja Gaiden 4 that terrible or did Koei Tecmo have him assassinated cause they feared what he'd say?

On that note, what did he think of Ragebound?

>>723381449
Soon, it will no longer be Klobberin' Time.

zoomette here,

You're right, anon. Don't listen to these retards. Men start dying off in their 50s. My dad is in his late 60s and almost every man from his elementary school class has died by now.

Nice to see so many Kasumi appreciators in here.

Was he really an asshole? Why was he kicked out of Team Ninja? I'm on the Nioh discord and they kinda hate him, but I don't know the full story. I just know that he worked on NG1/2 and had a rockstar personality, kind of like John Romero.

because i literally ignored everything xbox back then, i never even knew about ninja gaiden black until just a few months ago

>>723381771
>Why was he kicked out of Team Ninja?
He wasn't. He left because he wanted to because they didn't pay him promises bonuses.

>Before the start of development on DEAD OR ALIVE 4, Tecmo Co., Ltd. had agreed to pay a completion bonus to me for this Xbox 360 title, which I produced. However, when the time came for the actual payment, Tecmo Co., Ltd. went against its previous agreement and refused payment. President Yoshimi Yasuda chose not only to violate this agreement, but also turned defiant, telling me "if you are dissatisfied with the decision not to pay the bonuses, either quit the company or sue it." In addition, he made demeaning remarks about me to my subordinates and colleagues, causing me significant emotional distress and worsening my personal relationships and work environment. Thus, I have no choice but to resign from Tecmo Co., Ltd.

>The conduct of Tecmo Co., Ltd. and its president Yoshimi Yasuda towards me has been unbefitting of a publicly-listed company.
>I have filed this lawsuit with a strong intent to question the social responsibility of Tecmo Co., Ltd. and its President Yoshimi Yasuda, as well as condemning them for their unjust acts. Today, in addition to announcing the reasons for this lawsuit, I make clear my reasons for resigning.

>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 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.

>>723381771

I would also add that he never hated Harada personally. He hated how Namco handled the marketing of Tekken by portraying Dead or Alive as a toy. This is why he also started shitting on Tekken.

>>723381576
I hope you get hit in the head with an ax, you fucking tranny

Probably a cancer. It's common with generation of his age because in Japan everyone smoked back then.

“too young to die" is not the same as "he died young" you retard, it doesn't mean someone in their 50s is young
You're probably one of those retards who thinks people died in their 30s in old times and don't understand how child mortality rates skewed the average age, 50s has always been too young to die

Whats worrying is that there is not a new generation of eccentric creator personalities.

I think current corporations specifically try to suppress them becasue they dont want their company image hinge on the whims of single people. They want everybody to be an unnamed cog instead.

He had an ego, but he was mostly only an asshole for marketing.

Can KT please release a non-bastardized port of NG2 in his honor.

I can understand being angry at the 58 comment, but I wouldn't go against anti-vaccination. You do know what site you are using and what the president thinks about vaxx.
I'm not anti-vaxx myself, but you are asking for trouble if you express that kind of opinions or criticize right. Just don't rock the boat when not needed and try to fit in a bit.

He wasn't kicked out, he left and then sued the head of Tecmo at the time for unpaid wages and won a settlement.

He even took some of the design team for DoA and NG with him to form Valhalla Games (now Soleil).
