This guys a conceited jerk off. No one gives a crap how to pronounce your name dude.

@3

Some people do care about correct pronunciation.

If you don't, you're more than welcome to join the illiterate club.

"Ninja GAY-DEN" ROFL

@4 Some people also care about how to spell, but you don't seem to be one of them Mr. "Anonmymous."

Ok. I already knew how to pronounce "Ninja Gaiden". And now I know how to pronounce "Helena". But I still dont know how to pronounce "Tomonobu", and Im not even going to try to learn.

Wow are you guys FLAMING in a damn comment section thats just so ... well stupid

@6

Exactly My Point

@7 Toh-moh-noh-boo, not that hard.

As I posted in the joystiq thread, how do you pronounce Ein, many a person I know says it's pronounced like Ian but I say its more like Ayn.

One good thing about the Japanese language is words are always pronounced how they are spelled. If you know how vowels and the letter "R" is pronounced, you can almost always pronounce thing correctly in Japanese. So I can kind of understand why some Japanese people don't understand why English speaking people have problems pronouncing things, because it is pretty much a non-issue for the Japanese.

But I wish I could learn Japanese. I was teaching myself for a couple months and learned quite a bit, but I gave up after I realized I would have to learn to read thousands of Kanji characters. It's too hard, I don't want to learn the language if I can't read it.

Call Major Nelson, we need to make a video so the Japanese learn to pronounce "Xbox" correctly. It's not "oo-ecks-ooo-bawkxs-oo".

Screw this sun glass wearing reject. In 5 more years you won't see this homos face either because he'll be wearing a veil or some weirdo shit in public. This dude is from the same planet Michael Jackson came from.

you guys didnt know that? I always used to pronounce the game like it was supposed to be pronounced.

NOOBS

Wow..the Internet hates people telling them how to pronounce things, apparently.

Out of all these things, I only pronounce Itagaki's whole name correctly

@13

in 5 years that a joke right HAHAH. The guy make Ninja Gaiden and DOA you really think he going to be gone in 5 years WOW

I like the games and all but when he tells us that we're suppose to pronounce his name? that is just retarded! and and he needs to learn how to say xbox 360 = Ex-Box-three-sixty!!!!!!

The vid won't play so can someone enlighten me.
I've always said them like so:

GAY-DEN
TOM-OH-NOH-BOO IT-AH-GAH-KEE
HELL-ENN-A (though it's probably HELL-AIN-A?)

Have I been wrong all this time?? Oh the shame.

lol cool that he's spending some time to do things like that but I'm sure most people would have known how to say it...I've never even played Ninja Gaiden but I knew how to say it since the first time I saw the name ^^

I'm English, so I've been pronouncing it correctly from the get go.

:oD

@17
Hey, I didn't say the guy was going anywhere, or for that matter that his games were bad. I said he is a freak Like Michael Jackson and In 5 years or so he will start concieling his face from public for some wierd ass reason. Like with a viel, get me?

Why do you compare him to Michael Jackson? His long black straight hair? That's digging pretty deep. Japanese people naturally have straight hair, Michael Jackson had curly hair when he was young. And I doubt this guy has had any botched plastic surgeries. So I fail to see any comparison.

@24
The point and comparrasion is that this guy always wears his sunglasses day, night, indoors, dosn't matter. Oh yeah and his leather jacket. get it now?
