I only included things that everybody likes, like violence, flowers, children, women, friendship and death.
Talking about his Ninja Gaiden II game in the Wall Street Journal, June 5, 2008, p. B8, "The Game Turns Serious".
The testers who tested this game went nuts. At first it was easier, but when the testers said "this is too difficult", I made it even more difficult.

Regarding Tekken games from 1 to 4. https://web.archive.org/web/20160604015454/http://www.1up.com/features/itagaki-hit-list http://www.1up.com/features/itagaki-hit-list 1UP.com Mielke, James 09.29.2005 Itagaki's Hit List 06.04.2016 17.10.2025
I no longer can figure out what the hell they're trying to do with the numbering, and I don't know which one is which. I don't know what they're trying to do with all of these spin-offs, so this includes Nina: Death by Degrees as well. I don't think it even needs saying, but people should stay away from Tekken. Nothing left to say. I just don't want them to disappoint me any more. It's so annoying. Please don't annoy me any more.
Regarding Tekken 5.
If I made a similar game as a game I made in the company I quit, people would say, "What an idiot, can't he make anything else?" Well, that is more or less the opinion I have for, uh, that Bayo-something game. https://web.archive.org/web/20160606184120/http://www.1up.com/news/developer-interview-itagaki-skewers-competition http://www.1up.com/news/developer-interview-itagaki-skewers-competition 1UP.com Mielke, James 06.05.2009 Developer Interview: Itagaki Skewers the Competition 06.06.2016 11.12.2025
Regarding Bayonetta
Covered in hair, is she? I dunno, Mr. Kamiya must have a lot going through his head. Well, in any case, I would first recommend laser eye surgery. I'm sure he's not that strapped for cash, right?
Regarding Bayonetta's character design and the game's director Hideki Kamiya
