Itagaki: Xbox 360 is the Most Powerful Hardware

Ahead of the release of Ninja Gaiden II on Xbox 360 on June 6th, MCV caught up with head of developer Team Ninja Tomonubu Itagaki.

MCV: "Ninja Gaiden II has got some great previews from the press – how proud of it are you?"

Itagaki: "I'm very happy with it. It's not 100 per cent as I think that's not possible to do, but I think that I was successful in making a game that no one else could. This is a game that only my team and I would be able to make."

MCV: "Do you prefer to develop on the Xbox 360, rather than the other consoles?"

Itagaki: "Yes. In my opinion it is the most powerful hardware. I have a lot of friends that develop on it so in some ways I regard it like being at home when I'm working on it. There's no reason for me to go to a strangers house to make games."
