November 26, 2007 - "Ninja
Gaiden is a franchise that was born on Xbox…this is our mainstream.
It's only natural that the sequel should be on Xbox 360," Tomonobu
Itagaki says through a translator to the small, but crowded, audience
gathered to listen to him speak about the upcoming Ninja Gaiden 2.
IGN is the only media outlet in the room; the crowd comes from a small
army of Microsoft marketing and PR agents eager to listen in. That's
because Microsoft announced at this year's Tokyo Game Show that it
would be publishing Ryu Hayabusa's next adventure for Xbox 360,
ensuring its exclusivity.
What followed was a wonderfully candid discussion about what went right
with Ninja Gaiden, what could have been done better and what we can
expect in 2008 for Ninja Gaiden 2. Xbox Live details, multiplayer
modes, gameplay nuances and more were all on the table and you might be
surprised by some of the responses we were given. So watch the video
interview and then read on for more details. |
