1up.com — Last month, Team Ninja head and Ninja Gaiden director Tomonobu Itagaki suggested that he would be done with the franchise after the upcoming release of Ninja Gaiden 2. On Monday night we received a clearer picture of just what he meant with the announcement that Itagaki is leaving Team Ninja and suing Tecmo, the day before Ninja Gaiden 2's release!

I should add, what does this say to anyone who wants to work for Tecmo?

I can't wait to play ninja garden! Is it going to be like viva pinata but with ninjas instead of pinatas?

'look at it this way. I'm sure Hideki Kamiya wouldn't want to sign a compy of okami for the wii since he wasn't even credited for it.Kojima would be puzzled, then sign it anyways because he's too polite.

Look I know some people like this guys games and he's passionate, I also know he may well be in the right - I'd be likely to believe an employee over an employer but really, losing more DOA or Ninja Gaiden from my perspective really, I couldn't care less - the guy does seem like a bit of a tool, prancing around in his glasses and making games so f**koff stupidly difficult that sales of replacement controllers go up 20% when a new game comes out.I know others like him and his products - I hope he keeps looking out for you, good for you but me - honestly he just seems like a tool :/
