    By Mike_Jackson posted June 16, 2008

    A large number of Team Ninja employees are reported to have left Tecmo following Itagaki's walkout earlier this month, according to rumours.

    It is reported that "as many as three dozen" Team Ninja employees have done a runner and, to make things worse for Tecmo, also plan to take the company to court over unpaid bonuses for completed games.

    Things got nasty early this month when Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden creator Tomonobu

  • Sex sells!
    By GamesRadarTylerNagata posted October 18, 2007
    Oct 18, 2007 According to the Entertainment Software Association's 2006 report, 38 percent of gamers are females. These numbers are down from 2005, when the fairer sex reportedly accounted for 43 percent of the pie. It seems that gaming continues to be a mostly male affair, so what's the best way to penetrate this demographic? Judging by the sex-filled ads we've seen over the years, it looks like the best way to a young man's wallet has - and always will be - through his pants. Read on and

    By Mike_Jackson posted June 4, 2008

    Tecmo has defended its position in the conundrum over Itagaki's resignation and lawsuit against the company announced yesterday.

    The company says the "unpaid completion bonuses" Itagaki speaks of were an agreement of previous management, and that Itagaki had been paid his dues in the form of annual bonuses.

  • Tecmo shares nosedive on Itagaki exit
    By posted June 5, 2008

    Publisher Tecmo's share price has plummeted more than 10 percent since news broke that Tomonobu Itagaki had both sued the company and handed in his resignation.

    Earlier this week it emerged that Itagaki had filed a complaint with the Tokyo District Court against his employer Tecmo for unpaid completion bonuses, and against the company's president for "unreasonable and disingenuous statements" made towards him.

    He announced that

  • Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword Revealed
    By GamesRadar_ US posted April 12, 2007
    In our interview with Tomonobu Itagaki, we discuss Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword's story, how the fast-paced action game works on the DS and whether or not all that action will give your hand cramps. When Team Ninja revealed a DS version of Ninja Gaiden was in the works, we thought it was a joke. But it wasn't quite April 1. Then we saw scans of a Japanese mag that confirmed this was no joke. How would it work on DS? Wouldn't all that fast-paced gameplay make it impossible to play? How would

  • Ninja Gaiden DS dated
    By Gavin _Ogden posted December 20, 2007
    Dec 20, 2007 Tecmo has slapped Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword with a release date of March of 2008. We don't know if that means the UK and Europe too but we're trying to find out. DOA mastermind and legendary developer Tomonobu Itagaki recently told us a little about the DS version. "The story of Ninja Gaiden 1 for the Xbox dealt with the mythology of the Vigoor Empire, the setting of the majority of that game. Ninja Gaiden DS takes place six months later, and the story deals with what happened

  • Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword interview
    By GamesRadarBrettElston posted January 15, 2008
    Jan 15, 2008 There's a great deal of hyperbole in the games industry. People will frequently make impossible claims like "Game X will haunt you for years to come" or "Game Y will change the way you view the world," but those statements just aren't true. In the case of this game, however, we can safely make a statement along those lines and mean every single word: There is no other DS game, action or otherwise, that can compare to the technical prowess of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. Its smooth,

    We're not just paranoid - ninjas are everywhere lately. So with Tecmo's official announcement of Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword for the Nintendo DS, we can triumphantly emerge from underneath our beds, tell our spouses "we told you so" and regain a small semblance of our dignity. Hot on the heels of the recent PS3 showcase, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Team Ninja's omnipresent swordsman, Ryu Hayabusha, is going portable later this
