Are You Saying 'Ninja Gaiden' Correctly?

Today's new pronunciation video from MTV Multiplayer is a threefer, with Team Ninja's Tomonobu Itagaki explaining (in Japanese no less) how you pronounce his name, "Ninja Gaiden" and "Helena" from Dead or Alive 4.

The movie was wack but still.

I've always said Guy-den; watching as much anime as I have, I see the pronunciation difference in the Japanese "Ai" and "Ei." If the game was "Ninja Geiden," then it would be pronounced "Gay-den."

They can't tell us how to pronounce it. Watch MGS4 demo by Kojima and listen to how he pronounces "Snake"

.... "Snec".....

Snake is an English word, so he's the one saying it incorrectly (romaji: "Suneku"). Gaiden is a Japanese word, however.

My wife happened to be reading the latest EGM cover this morning that talks about NG II (while sitting on the thinker) and she came out laughing that the magazine misprinted and put an 'i' in when it should have been an 'r':
Ninja Garden

Non gamers... how naive :)
