Ninja Gaiden 2 Not Headed for 360?

Itagaki wants the japanese audience to experience NG, so it will most probably be developed for the PS3 since the xbox sold like crap in japan! i have to admit i hate his arrogance and personality, but for once i agree on something he's doing(though it hasnt been confirmed yet)

If you read earlier interviews, you'd know Itagaki has a very low opinion of Japanese gamers so I doubt he really cares whether they get to play Ninja Gaiden or not. If he was so concerned about letting his fellow Japanese play he'd developing a PS2 version of Ninja Gaiden Black.

If it NG2 goes to PS3 it will be because Sony has the more powerful system not because Itagaki cares about letting more Japanese people play the game. Especially since they wouldn't buy it anyway.

And FYI, the original NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy also sold like shit in Japan, but did quite well over here.

As for his personality, the reason so many people gravitate towards this man is because he talks shit and backs it up. He calls bullshit where there is bullshit and doesn't give a fuck who says what. A refreshing change from the usual Japanese PR bullshit. He called Tekken 4 a piece of shit (truth), said western games tend to have overly stiff animation (truth), and said Death by Degrees wasn't even worth talking about (truth). The man simply tells it like it is.

I'd have to comment by saying japan was pretty damn stupid when they continued to ignore xbox after NG was out. Bad move for Itagaki, worse for gamers due to their own arrogance towards US based systems.

Now if PS3 really is the better hardware for this generation, Itagaki's need for horsepower + sales won't be a problem.

Our CGI animator's tend to be the same towards film (i.e. star wars)

heh, I may actually buy it used should I see it cheap enough. After awhile, I'll just get my money back on ebay.

It's been confirmed by OXM UK that Ninja Gaiden 2 is in development for the Xbox 360.

I guess it makes sense, too. I mean, come on, they're making XBV2 for the Xbox 360 as well.

who the fuck is OXM UK? i wanna see real proof that it's heading to the 360, untill that happens i'll assume it's for the PS3.

Those of us who are buying both systems (they are a year apart, you can save the money in a year) will play it regardless.
