The ex-Team Ninja developer behind Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive settles his dispute over unpaid bonuses with former employer, Tecmo. He also teases an announcement of his current project.
The trouble began in June 2008 when Itagaki announced he was leaving Tecmo and suing them for failure to pay promised bonuses on completed projects. He also filed suit against Tecmo president Yoshimi Yasuda, "for such unlawful acts as unreasonable and disingenuous statements made towards me, claiming damages in total of 148 million yen."
Itagaki's statement released via Famitsu today (and translated by blog Andriasang) says that a reconciliation has been reached, but does not disclose the conditions of the settlement. At the tail end of the announcement, Itagaki says he "cannot wait" to tell his fans about the project he's been working on post-Tecmo.
