Tecmo president resigns for 'personal reasons'

You know, for kids.

I certainly hope this means they're moving on and not getting ready to close down.

Picture = win

They should shut down, without Itakgaki, they're nothing.

Tecmo=fail.

......as he ducks under the security cameras on the way to the parking lot holding the $15,000 Ming vase.... lol lol

haven't seen the hudsucker movie in years. is the guy from shawshank going to work for tecmo

Will somebody think about the girls?

I don't think this Tecmo mess will be settled until Itagaki gets a fat settlement and Chairman Mao, err, I mean Chairman Kakihara gets Dos boot.

you don't take up the sword of someone who has committed seppuku with it.

lern2weeaboo.

well now give us ninja gaiden sigma 2 for ps3.

Ninja gaiden 2D for DS

im tire of this drama, which certainly for gamers its a complete nonsense

It's also possible the board might have decided that Itagaki is the company's golden goose and that cleaning house might get him to come back. Something similar happened at a software company I worked at in the 90s. In that case, big company bought smaller company (of which I was a part), big company execs liked playing politics, big company employees liked jacking around doing nothing, and the smaller company software app (which was to be integrated into the larger offerings on Big Iron by the bigger company but wasn't... see statement where big company employees liked not working) was the only thing bringing cash in. After about a year and a half, the BC execs pushed out the small company's upper people. Unfortunately for the BC execs, they did this around the time the Board of Directors was meeting, and the Board looked at it closely. Then summoned said execs to a meeting where they said essentially "so the only part of this company that's making money the last year or so is X and you just got rid of everyone involved there? You're all fired." And then the board brought back the small company people to run the whole place. It may be that Tecmo's board may have similar ideas.

He's scared of Itagaki's lawsuit and knows that Itagaki's going to win.

"Time to bail!!"

*Yasuda jumps out of window and takes off running*

Itagaki for president of Tecmo 2009!!
