He should've his creations completely naked, then he wouldn't have to settle with real life girls. Wonder how this will affect the NG and DOA series.

Totally unsurprised.  :|
While I don't really see a problem with his whole DOA girls in the beach fetish...well, I do admit it's pretty creepy.  And...not really normal...well, it kinda is, but in a way, when someone makes a game out of their fantasies involving virtual girls, then thats taking it to a strange new level.

And now we get to this lawsuit and I really don't feel shocked.  He's a womanizer.  And he had it coming.

If it was going to happen to any prominent figure in the game industry, it would be Itagaki. Though I'm surprised, I'm not too surprised.

I actually find it kind of funny. Some kind of irony, I guess?

I wouldn't say I saw this coming--I don't think that being obsessed with boobs turns a man into a sexual predator.  I've known lots of men who were obsessed with boobs; I haven't known any sexual predators.  I'm tired of people who make the assumption that sexual appetite equals sexual threat.  In my opinion, it's actually the subversion of sexual appetites, over time, that becomes a threat. 

Anyway, it's a shame that such a talented producer should disgrace himself in this way.  I hope he doesn't fight it, I hope he pays her what she demands ($85,000?  What is that, lunch money?  Pocket-lint?) and I hope he enters whatever rehabilitation programs they have over there for men in his situation--just to do whatever it takes to minimize the impact on his career.  How completely foolish.

Welp, don't think he'll be left unscathed from this.  Despite there being a high rate of adultury in Japan, being caught with it AND being a noticible public figure is a different story.  Let's see where Ninja Gaiden 2 development goes if everything goes sour because of this suit :P

Maybe the female lead would actually wear some clothes instead of coming to fight in what looks like to be the only clean clothes she had left in the closet.

Does anybody else think that even Alma was pretty scorching-hot in NG/NGB?  I mean, look at what she's got up top.  I mean, damn.

But then again, that's a cliche in every video game. Just look at Tifa in FF7.

Who in the hell is going to go into battle wearing a tank top and short shorts? :|
