Still going on, but one thing I didn't know I found very interesting:

When Dead or Alive came out, Tecmo was in big financial trouble and the game saved the company. That is part of the reason for the title: Dead or Alive

Almost reminiscent to with Square and Final Fantasy in a way. Oh, and Itagaki says he got no programming help from Yu Suzuki or AM2 at all!

Huh? i swear i remember reading somewhere, SaturnWorld (*weep*) perhaps, that Team NINJA either had a couple of ex-AM2 employees or worked with them. Either way, Saturn DoA turned out great, as did the DoA++ in different ways. It was the game that forever etched Team NINJA into my brain in the "programming gods" category, along with AM2.

I dunno. I think he was talking about the arcade version.

Hey Eggo come in here for a second! From this show it sounds like Team Ninja is secluded from the rest of Tecmo. Do the other teams ever interact with Team Ninja at all?

 

[Mrbob]

Interesting.

Itagaki states in this show that Code Chronus takes place before Dead or Alive 1. Also said Dead or Alive 4 is coming out on the next Xbox (SHOCKER!).
