December 01, 2004 - In a recent interview with IGN Xbox, Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki hinted that the renowned Japanese developer is planning at least one game for either the PS3 or Nintendo Revolution.

IGN: You've been a big supporter of Xbox and, from what we hear, will be heavily behind Xbox 2 as well. Do you have any plans to make games for PS3 or Nintendo Revolution?

Itagaki: I should be able to talk about that soon. I promise.

Though there's no hint if this would be an original game or one of Team Ninja's franchises (DOA and Ninja Gaiden), it seems likely that an announcement awaits either PS3 or Revolution's official unveiling.

Itagaki has repeatedly said he has stuck with Xbox because it's the most powerful system available. Should that change with the next generation, perhaps so will Team Ninja's loyalties.

We'll keep sniffing and get you more on this story as soon as possible.

Deja Vu

Heh, is that the first time someone other than Nintendo mentioned revolution? :lol

Edit: Damn your formatting! He did not say that.

I can't see Team Ninja really on PS3,I think they will make a DOA4 port a year later than the Xbox2 version proclaming they have put the PS3 to its limits

Mabye Nintendo will have him do Pikmin 3.

Damn. I looked at that thread, saw the original IGNXbox intereview, did a quick scan, and didn't notice that. Of course, were absolutely no comments on that quote, as it seemed to be exclusively the Xbox crowd.

days old.

Itagaki's a self-confessed horsepower whore... he'll go to whichever platform has the most next gen. If he doesn't I can't wait for the interview that asks him what changed.... and what if the horsepower comparisons are much more close(as they seem to be leading up to be) than this gen, what then?

Don't feel bad, he made a new thread when I already had the interview linked, but for another subject.

First the DS, now potentially The Revolution?

He's really not saying a damn thing in that reply.

If you notice how he talks about next-gen game systems.... he won't use unannounced product names.

You don't see any console/company references in ANY of Itagakis replies. Only to his games.

 

[Vortac]

He probably said "mada sore wa ienai" or something like that ("I can't talk about that yet") which doesn't say one way or the other.

Agreed. Again, I am amazed at how much free time IGN has on their hands if they feel that this is 'news'
