Tomonobu Itagaki, the famed developer who couldn’t resist coming with some controversy, has resigned from his position at Team NINJA on the eve of their biggest release in a long time: Ninja Gaiden 2.
This will not effect Team NINJA as much as you think it will. I’m sure of it.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma came out for the PS3 fine and Itagaki was not involved at all in it. Sure, it’s just a port, but the point is the Team NINJA team is still in tact.
Jason Rubin was called a visionary and an important part of Naughty Dog when they were at their highest point making the Jak and Daxter series. Then, Rubin left but Naughty Dog was able to hold it together and put out the very good Uncharted:Drakes Fortune for PlayStation 3.
I fully expect Ninja Gaiden 3 to come out and be good. And the biggest challenge towards Ninja Gaiden 3 isn’t the loss of Itagaki, it’s whether Team NINJA can fix that darn camera.
