Title: Itagaki Interested in Developing Wii Fighting Game
Post by: Karl Castaneda #2 on February 26, 2007, 10:49:08 AM
Is Dead or Alive headed for Wii?

In a recent interview with CVG, Tomonobu Itagaki, head of Tecmo's Team Ninja and creator of Dead or Alive, expressed interest in Wii development, and after playing the boxing game in Wii Sports, is considering a fighting title on the platform. The full quote reads as follows:    


When you see Wii Mortal Kombat or Ubisoft's Red Steel, for example, does that give you any incentive to bring a Dead or Alive or Ninja Gaiden game to the Wii?    


Itagaki: I haven't played Mortal Kombat or Red Steel, so I don't know about those two. However, when I played the Boxing game included in Wii Sports, I thought that it might be interesting to make a fighting game for the Wii.
   


You can read the interview in its entirety here.

Is this the same Team Ninja that was notorious for wanting to only develop for the most powerful system?

When it comes to user interfaces, Wii is the most powerful.  But yeah, you're right, and I suspect a Wii fighting game from Team Ninja would not be a DOA game.

One thing is for sure, any women in the game will be very voluptuous.

Glad to see that he still finds the time to make games when he's not sexually harassing co-workers.

I'd to point out that you can have one hand on a keyboard (and thusly be developing a game) and be pinching an ass with the other hand.

This is the era of multitasking.

Boob bouncing mapped to the wiimote and nunchuck.

Ah, yes, nunchuk is the left one, wii-mote is the right.  Or perhaps, they'll make a new, inflatable, peripheral for the Wii, just like Ubisoft's cheap steering wheel, they'll have the boob-troller.

I welcome both Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive to the Wii with open arms.

Typical Itagaki interview. I won't hold my breath for Team Ninja on Wii, but it seems sexual embarrassment suits hasn't slowed him down a bit.

Would you like to develop anything unrelated from NG/DOA in the future? Are there any particular ideas that you're investigating?

Itagaki: I still get upwards of 100 letters a year begging me to make a new Tecmo Bowl game! [Laughs.


DOA Xtreme football bowl. It could work....

Wait...Bringing a largely popular, established franchise to a Nintendo console is bad?

Hell, you don't have to play it.  Just be glad third parties are paying attention to Nintendo again.

Well they better be.  What's the f*cking point of Team Ninja support otherwise?

I assume that there will be an option as to who is naked?
