4 months agoA lot of people in this thread don’t seem to have gotten the subtle meme post in this image. Itagaki was the dude who made the Modern Ninja Gaiden titles and the Dead or Alive franchise. The dude was always a massive troll to both the media and players but was very dedicated to the vision he had for the games he wanted to make. He also had a very close friendship/rivalry with Katsuhiro Harada, the main dev for the Tekken franchise starting at Tekken 3 and recently cutting ties with Namco to found a new company that is, unfortunately, owned by SNK. Itagaki sadly passed away last year and a lot of old school devs mourned for his loss, but probably none harder than Harada given just how long they had been actual irl friends.
Monolith Soft (yes, the Xenoblade Monolith Soft) made one of the best JRPGs for the DS which is also a DBZ game; “Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans”. Game has you play as the other Z Fighters for a large amount of the game and takes place during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai arc and ends at the Saiyans arc.
