No real new information, but it seems as though Tokyo Vikings will stick as the teams new name. Interview includes comments on Bayonetta, Tekken 6, Team Ninja working on Metroid, and more. Also includes a rare picture of Itagaki without shades OMG!

Wow, he kind of looks like a 50-year old japanese woman without the sunglasses.  Oh well, Ninja Gaiden xbox is in my top 5 games of all time, can't wait to see what he's got planned with all that experienced talent around him, Tokyo Vikings or whatever they want to be called.

I find his comment towards Bayonetta interesting.

Also, when he said "That was a good game. But since it already exists, I don't need to make another one like that.", regarding some combat racing game for SNES he made, I sort of went "what?". He made a bunch of sequels to DoA and numerous NG games. Perhaps I missed something, but that seemed strange.

dude is a DMC hater

but its great that he still has love for team ninja and their project with nintendo and metroid
