The Tokyo Vikings have moved up to Valhalla |
Listed in: PSP, PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Tomonobu Itagaki, valhalla game studios
Tomonobu Itagaki's legal procedings against Tecmo have now been settled, so time's ripe for the former Team Ninja boss to get to work on his next project.
Actually, he's had something going on since May, when he revealed to James Mielke that he and his fellow ex-Team Ninja members have put up their own studio, casually calling themselves the Tokyo Vikings. It seems that the vikings have gone up another level - they will now be officially known as Valhalla Game Studios. That's not to be confused with the Australia-based Valhalla Studios, which is also in game development.
Itagaki made the confirmation through an interview with Famitsu, where he also talks about his future plans...sort of. "I won't say where we are right now," he told the Japanese gaming mag. "But it will be something that people have never seen before."
An interesting new studio name, in a cross-cultural sort of way. Fallen team of ninjas went up to Valhalla to continue doing what they do best. By "best", it might mean more boobs video games.

His frank personality is just what transpires through his games. Hard, unforgiving, unnapologetic and caring only about the bottom-line: Delivering the best on a high-end, consistent basis. All the rest is bull-shit.
I went over 310 hours in Ninja Gaiden 2. Didn't cry like a baby for the difficulty. I maned-up and completed Master Ninja. Story, missions and Tests of Valor, through sheer skill and perseverance. And nothing ever felt so rewarding.
That being said, i have complete faith in whatever the guys does. 60 bucks are set aside for his new game and i haven't even seen it.
