The man sure seemed to have a thing for jiggly physics. I don't care for fighting games, so the most memorable experience I have with Dead or Alive is searching through countless copies of Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball for the Xbox to collect all 6 special promotional lenticular cards that was included with some copies of the game. A rare and sought-after item for collectors.
I found the 2004 Ninja Gaiden too difficult and as a result, stayed away from to series . It wasn't until Ninja Gaiden Ragebound for me to get interested Ninja Gaiden again. But since then I've played and enjoyed all of the Souls games, which are notoriously difficult as well, so maybe I should give Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden another chance. Frankly, we currently seemed to be inundated with Ninja games.
Well, rest in peace San Itagaki! I wonder if they buried him with his sunglasses on.
