Itagaki speaks his mind in this two-part video interview

Itagaki was kind enough to take some time out of his busy schedule of making great games and shopping for leather to speak with GameTrailers about Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. Of course, they grilled him on just why he would go with the DS instead of the PSP (how many times must this man answer this question?!), but kept the piece interesting by sprinkling gameplay footage throughout the videos.

Hit up the second part of the video interview past the post break.

Itagaki sits down for a chat with Joystiq

Our cruel overlords at Joystiq recently got to sit down with gaming icon Tomonobu Itagaki (we hope they brought him gifts of leather and booze). We imagine it only took him mere minutes to sexually assault the interviewing blogger (hawt!), before calmly putting his clothes back on, sitting down calmly and lighting up a smoke.

Following that horrible piece of mental imagery, Itagaki and Joystiq's confrontation at the offices of Team Ninja were nothing of the sort. In fact, it was quite casual and professional ... er, as professional as one can be during an interview with one of the most outspoken and blunt members of the gaming industry. And, Itagaki did not fail to be just that while conducting this interview.

The focus of the interview mainly revolved around his project for the DS, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. He speaks about why multiplayer wasn't implemented, the pros and cons of a stylus-driven control scheme and even the possibility of bringing other Team Ninja titles to the platform.

Remember that press event where Tecmo gave us our first glimpse of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword? Sure you do, wasn't so long ago, but we were only able to gawk at some stills from the event. Well, that is no more as the folks at Game Brink have uploaded video from the event, giving us all a better look at how fluid and graceful the end product is sure to be.

As usual, check out the video past the post break.

Tecmo gives us a first-hand look at Dragon Sword

In gathering up various press representatives in Tokyo today, Tecmo formally announced their upcoming DS entry in the Ninja Gaiden franchise in Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. The event confirms that the game is going to be primarily driven with the stylus, charging the player with performing just about every in-game action in this way. Itagaki was also on-hand at the event and unveiled the game through a brisk play through one of the game's levels, killing a few enemies and ending the level at a spider-like boss.

Itagaki also explained that the focus of this DS title is not the usual demographic, as previous titles in the series were meant for men over the age of 18 and westerners, Itagaki is seeking for Dragon Sword to be more accessible to players of all ages and genders (even the Gelgameks?). And from these early looks, the game is going to do just that. We can't wait.
