Contribute to XBN's Monthly Column: Ask Itagaki!

[chespace]

You love him, and you love his games.

Tomonobu Itagaki of Ninja Gaiden fame has kindly agreed to answer questions—your questions—in the pages of Xbox Nation. If you’ve ever read an interview with Tomonobu Itagaki, you’ll know to expect some an advice column that’s every bit as hard-hitting and unique as his games.

Send your questions—on any topic from girls to games, cars to chocolate bars, school, being cool, whatever—to us at XBN@ziffdavis.com with the subject line: Ask Itagaki!

OR... post your question(s) here for all to enjoy.

You can find the first installation of Ask Itagaki in Issue 14 of XBN (on store shelves soon).

Just so you all know, it doesn't have to be about games...

here are some of the questions we asked Itagaki-san for round one--if you really want your question to be considered for inclusion, don't bother making it offensive.

Otherwise, keep 'em comin'

Q: Who is better: David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?

Q: I love videogames, but my girlfriend does not—what can I do to get her interested in games?

Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Q: I have a huge crush on this girl in my office, but it seems that so does everyone else here. What should I do to make myself stand out? Also, she’s married…

Q: I’m coming to Japan in April with a bunch of videogame-obsessed friends. How can I avoid making this a total nerd vacation?

Q: I want to study a martial art. What would make me the strongest?

Q: What does your mom think of DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball?

Q: Describe your perfect day.

Q: Which is better, once and for all: Tekken or Virtua Fighter?

Q: Where can you find the easiest girls in Tokyo?

Umm... how about some questions?

[Jeremy]

I've got other interview questions do compile, and I'd rather see the Itagaki fans here have a crack at this.

[chespace]

hint: get drunk -- ask questions. play nice.

[Green]

What is the purpose of the ninja?
How can I obtain Real Ultimate Power?
Which is cooler: ninjas or pirates?

[Rich]

Ninjas or pirates NEEDS to be asked! NEEDS!

[Tain]

But you know he'll say Ninjas.

What direction do you want the next generation of game consoles to go in? Do you have any ideas that you'd like to implenent, but can't because of hardware limitations?

Do you think it's best for the game industry to have multiple consoles to work on (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft)? Could having just one platform be better than 3?

Why do so many 3D games have bad camera systems? Do you feel you've made headway with Ninja Gaiden?

What direction do you see fighting games heading toward? Will the next Dead or Alive series be a leader in new gameplay ideas?

What's the worst game you've played recently? Why do you think its bad and how would you improve it?
