Title: Itagaki: Tecmo Tricked Me Into Releasing Dead Or Alive 2
Post by: idolminds on Thursday, February 09, 2012, 04:39:22 PM
Wow (http://blog-admin.wired.com/gamelife/2012/02/itagaki-dice-2012/)
Quote
“Can I borrow a copy of this so I can play it a little?” Itagaki remembers the manager saying.

“I said, sure, yeah, go on, and I handed him the disc which was still under development,” Itagaki said. “But this disc was never played by them.”

Instead, Itagaki said to the crowd of game developers and executives, “it was taken into a factory for production on that day without me knowing it.”
But totally read the whole article. The end is worth it.

I didn't see "The Onion" printed anywhere on that page.  Did I miss something?  Or is that guy really so disconnected from the real world?

Well, just look at this picture. Dude's Japanese, those guys are still stuck in the 80s and 90s.

Yeah, OK.  But I didn't think that Aerosmith and a movie like Armageddon could save anybody's life or sanity then either (or friends, family and company!).  That's just batty.  Did something get lost in translation?  Somebody call Bill Murray.   :P
