Team Ninja mass exodus is likely

360 Rumour | Itagaki resignation sets off a chain reaction.

According to a report from 1UP, the offices of Team Ninja could become a very empty place, as dozens of workers are said to be leaving the company, following on from the highly publicised shock resignation of Tomonobu Itagaki earlier this month.

Following in Itagaki's lead, the departing team members are also reportedly set to serve Tecmo with a class action lawsuit. Like the filing of Itagaki's lawsuit, the team's class action suit is seeking damages over unpaid bonuses for work on previously completed titles.

I hope against hope this isn't true. I want to see another Dead Or Alive before the next Xbox is released.

But if it is, serves Tecmo right for their (alleged) arrogance and unconscionable conduct.

Well most likely MS will set the exiting staff up with their own company and they will release a new fighting game in the vein of Dead or Alive.

Personally i didnt like NG 2 as a whole, the boss battles let it down with their BS *i win* attacks.

But theres no reason to break apart the company.... is there ?!
