Secret Tecmo Tapes Reveal Number of the Beast, Insulting Tecmo President

Kotaku: In the second round of oral arguments for the Itagaki vs. Tecmo suit, Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki submitted evidence that included an affidavit from Ninja Gaiden II producer Yoshifuru Okamoto, a contract from 2005 that seems to clearly state terms of the Dead or Alive 4 bonus and a voice recording of Tecmo president Yoshimi Yasuda. Itagaki is suing Tecmo over unpaid DoA4 wages.

Kotaku obtained copies of both the secret recording and the contract and translated both for this story.

Ahh, that right there is the evidence needed to have Itagaki placed in the right. Tecmo, for shame.

And in a swift turn of events the villain reveals his true colors and the previous heroes shed light on their evil deeds. With the evidence taking center stage in this affair, how will tecmo and their army of goons protect their public image? WILL Itagaki ever get his unpaid wages? Will tecmo ever release a game anyone gives a sh1t about? Will Home ever actually get released? The answers for 2/3 of those answers coming up in future N4G news submissions.
