If Pangya is a launch title, it will be one of the games I get with the system, even if I have to import. It depends if Japan get's an earlier launch then us.

If Pangya is at at launch, it won't be onrine

The only reason I'd buy the game is so I can beat Bill at it =D

What are you talking about? Tecmo is suporting the actual console too, Infact they are releasing one of my top 5 favioret games to be released on the Wii, Super Swing Golf Pangya. Plus last I heard they have 2 more games in development including one being done by Team Ninja.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #29 on:** August 30, 2006, 04:35:53 PM »

Team Ninja working on a Wii title is news to me...The only thing I can think of is Itagaki saying he was interested in the console...

capamerica · « **Reply #30 on:** August 30, 2006, 04:37:53 PM »

It was mentioned awhile ago when the Wii was still called the Revolution, so it could have been nothing. =/
I just hope its something.

Monster Rancher 2 for the VC... or Even better yet. Monster Rancher Wii.

Itagaki doing a game for the Wii?
that seems hard to believe :|

Ahahahhahh way to go, Tecmo! Great of you guys to find a way to "show support" without actually making new games!

JonLeung · « **Reply #34 on:** August 31, 2006, 08:11:58 AM »

That's okay, I'm willing to bet that I would like to replay the NES Ninja Gaiden games than play the Xbox Ninja Gaiden games.

Then again, I may be biased by nostalgia...

Ceric · « **Reply #35 on:** August 31, 2006, 08:49:28 AM »

And I here that the XBox Ninja Gaiden is near impossible...

Itagaki will not develop for the Wii. Team Ninja might, but I really doubt it.

What with their pompous ass bitch of a spokesman/boss/total a**hole Gwen Stefani probably driving their creative forces under his ego-fed thumb.

Dude thinks he's awesome because he's made three franchises, none of which truly and honestly sell systems all that well, and one of them takes characters from the other and plays tea party.

I'm sure he could survive on his sense of self importance alone. But he won't touch the Wii. If he does, then we might as well expect a true Castlevania down the line. Iga is about the only other guy who can match Itagaki in terms of sheer asinine-ness.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #37 on:** August 31, 2006, 09:15:53 AM »

Ha ha ha, it's all true about Itagaki. What surprised me is that when he was being interviewed on the topic of DOAX 2, the sweaty horndog interviewer kept pushing the conversation in the direction of sex - will there be nudity, you should include a trampoline mini game, etc. etc., and Itagaki actually kept rebuffing those comments. He seems to genuinely want to avoid making a porn game. Or he just likes his porn really soft.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #38 on:** August 31, 2006, 09:37:42 AM »

I like how Itagaki says he won't "defile his characters" when he had already done that by throwing them into a dating sim game... =|

KDR_11k · « **Reply #39 on:** August 31, 2006, 09:40:32 AM »

Eh, dating sims are seen as normal stories in Japan so I wouldn't call that "defile".

capamerica · « **Reply #40 on:** August 31, 2006, 09:42:40 AM »

Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox was really hard but also Really fun.

I don't think there will ever been an "Adult" version of DoAX, Itagaki seems very intent on not going any further then where he has pushed DoAX into. If you want that kind of game go buy Sexy Beach.

As for Itagaki making a Wii game, I wouldn't count it out. After he finisheds DoAX2, Dead or Alive: Code Cronus and Project Progressive (DoA game) maybe the next project will be a Wii game. Hell maybe Ninja Gaiden 2 will be a Wii title, you never know.

In a recent interview with Tomonobu Itagaki, by Kikizo, he revealed that he will like to develop games for the Nintendo Wii Console.

Q: Are you interested in Wii, is it something you are interested in making games for?

Itagaki: Yes, of course I want to make games for Wii, it’s just that if I change my way of doing things, it’s going to be physically difficult because I tend to focus on one project at a time, but personally I like to play the type of games that are being made for Wii. Of course we have another producer, Kikuchi, who is working on a golfing game for Wii, so I give advice and try to work with him as much as possible.

Strell · « **Reply #41 on:** August 31, 2006, 09:45:10 AM »

Um.

There are love pillows of his brain dead doe-eyed emotionless characters.

Not to mention jelly boob mouse pads.

I don't think he gives a sh*t about his characters. You can't even tell them apart.

How about giving them skimpy outfits? How about fighting stages that have vents, thus resulting in abundant panty fanservice? His stance on the subject is hilarious...

JonLeung · « **Reply #43 on:** August 31, 2006, 09:51:40 AM »

I'd like the DoA girls more if they didn't look so...plasticy.

I can see why they're likeable (boing boing!), but one of the ones I like the least seems to be everyone's favourite...Kasumi. I don't like how she kind of looks baby-faced. It's just not appealing. But that's just my opinion.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #44 on:** August 31, 2006, 09:54:32 AM »

I'm an Ayane fan for a reason I'm not really sure of! Probably because she wears blue with camo, a totally under-rated fashion mix...

capamerica · « **Reply #45 on:** August 31, 2006, 10:08:56 AM »

@ Strell
There is a difference between a love pillow and a normal body pillow.
And if your going to give them sh*t about that you might as well bitch at all the other Game and Anime developers who do that too. Hell I think I recall some Final Fantasy chracters getting the same treatment.

I'll give you the Jelly boob mouse pad, they are kind of tasteless, but they are very comfy.

If you can't tell them apart you must have very bad eye sight.

@Bill
You act like all their out fits are skimpy, they may have a couple but thats all. The outfits are no more skimpy then any thing out of Tekken, Darkstalkers, King of Fighters or Soul Calibur.

And if your using DoAX as your example, its a Beach party game, what do you expect? Did you expect to see them all bundeled up in snow gear?

The Panty fanservice is something that is very normal over in Japan, Alot of anime does it so it really doesn't bother me, Only the loney teenage boys who can't get any get turned on by that. You have to remeber what he has done is more excepted as common place in Japan. While over here its not.

@ JonLeung
you not alone, I don't care much for Kasumi at all, I'm a big Ayane fan. I just say Kasumi since I know she is the most popular one.

Thankfully I don't know the difference, but I'm pretty frightened over the fact that you apparently do.

Wikipedia is a wonderful thing.

JonLeung · « **Reply #48 on:** August 31, 2006, 10:52:02 AM »

I don't play much DoA myself, but I like Ayane too! Neat!

couchmonkey · « **Reply #49 on:** August 31, 2006, 01:28:42 PM »

On the topic of Itagaki caring about or respecting his characters, it surprised me, but I think he really does care about them. That's what surprised me about that interview I mentioned. The guy seems extremely brash, and looking at what he made with DOA and even moreso DOAX, I figured he was just interested in busty anime chicks. Then I read that interview, and it seemed like he was genuinely concerned about remaining true to the characters.

Which is weird, because a few months later you've got the news of REALISTICORZ TANL1NES in DOAX2, and it's like, he's totally making a soft porn game, I can't figure out what he's thinking. I guess even busty anime chicks are more exciting if you actually care about their personalities.

Edit: since we're on the topic, my friends like to have epic Kasumi vs. Ayane battles (each one is a favourite of one friend), personally I don't really have favourites in fighting games, I prefer to play with everyone, but I picked Christine to be the character that I "learned" a little bit.
