Ninja Gaiden II; Goodbye Itagaki

Ninja Gaiden II should be out today. I think. I thought it was coming out yesterday, called Gamestop, they told me Friday, then I get a call at night from that Gamestop computer lady telling me it should be arriving tomorrow evening (today). Either way, I can't wait.

And here is a bit of surprising news. Tomonobo Itagaki, the director of Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden II, along with the Dead of Alive series of games, is leaving Tecmo and suing them for unpaid bonuses. Ouch!

I'm not a fan of Dead of ALive, but as you know, I eat Ninja Gaiden up. I wonder what the future of the franchise will be?
