Hell yeah! Welcome back Itagaki!

Edit: looks like a bunch of the talent from Team Ninja has made it over, plus Virtua Fighter 5's character designer.

1UP: Have you heard how Koei president, Kenji Matsubara, has stated that, "There's no possibility of Tomonobu Itagaki being employed with us?" How do you feel about this? I can't imagine you'd want to have to work on one of this year's fifteen Dynasty Warriors games, so I'm imagining you don't care in the least.

TI: I have nothing but total respect for [Koei chairman, Keiko] Erikawa-san, who created all of the historical war simulation games, but who is this Matsubara guy anyway? Were we talking about dynasties? Unfortunately, I have absolutely no interest in the Dynasty Warrior franchise. In fact, I prefer that old American TV show, Dynasty. I used to watch it when I was a student.

Great to see him and his team back!

Is he employed by Microsoft now then?

The industry needs more people like ol' crater face.

Good news to hear that him and his team are working on a new 360 game.

I wonder if Microsoft will buy his team or do a deal so their game's are generaly 360 exclusive?
