Katsuhiro Harada on X: "It’s hard to believe, but Itagaki-san…my senior from university and my rival as a creator has passed away. The last message I ever received from him was, “Let’s go drinking.

Tupac did gangsta rap, but it was always just an image for him. This biographer says Tupac behind the scenes was incredibly isolated, and really lived like the Black Panther his family raised him

The drive-by shooting happened because he got into a fight that night that he could have easily avoided

Helwani has an interesting interview with a guy who wrote a Tupac biography.

Apparently he believes the East Coast - West Coast rumor was bullshit. Everyone who knows him thinks the whole thing was stupid because it's based on his public image, which was made up by his record label

I checked Mobygames and he has special thanks credits on Wanted Dead and Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time

If Soleil wants to talk about this someday, they may want to acknowledge that Itagaki also worked on Wanted: Dead, and potentially their other outsourcing games after Rockshot

I’ve been occasionally breaking down into a mess throughout the day, but I am finding solace in the 4+ hours of conversation I recorded with Itagaki-san last year for a book we were working on together. They were his development memoirs, and I will do everything in my power to bring this to life.

Today I lost someone who was truly like a brother to me. I am gutted to the core. I guess I can say so now that it's on his Facebook page. He even listed himself as my actual brother on Facebook. Anyone who knows me knows how close we were. RIP, senpai. You will always be a ninja.

You know what? I guess if it works like Apple Time Machine, it could be useful to reverse some mistakes in settings you've made

Microsoft already has a System Restore function but it's nowhere as easy to use

The craziest thing I heard about the Xbox Ally is not that it has Teams, but that it has Recall

Even if you wanted to push generative AI to the public, what use is Recall on a gaming handheld

There were rumors that Itagaki was drinking heavily around last year. Also tied in to other rumors about other Japanese indie developers but I'm not going to air dirty laundry here

Honestly he could have drunk himself to death. Mostly worried for his family, he still has two young daughters :(

Oh yeah if you think about it the comparison between The Room and D3rd is much more appropriate than it looks the first time

Pleasebury Doughboy ✨ @plsburydoughboy.bsky.social · 5h

Unironically a fan of Devil's Third, that's my video game The Room. I regret never getting an Xbox to play Itagaki's games there, but I grew up with his DOA games in the arcade and Ninja Gaiden Devil's Sword

Thanks for the memories sensei

It would be interesting if Call of Duty Finest Hour came up on GameCube Virtual Console now that I think about it

Pleasebury Doughboy ✨ @plsburydoughboy.bsky.social · 6h

The GameCube disc size issue is honestly exaggerated. Nintendo could have made deals to subsidize and all that. Games can come in multiple GameCube discs too
GTA, Final Fantasy

Also everyone forgets that GameCube did get a lot of great 3rd party

Timekillers, RE4, SoulCalibur II, it even got a COD

There was a lot of small things working against Nintendo at the time, but basically the work Iwata put in to entice 3rd parties that almost helped the Gamecube did pay off for the Wii

Pleasebury Doughboy ✨ @plsburydoughboy.bsky.social · 6h

Between Yamauchi and Iwata Nintendo was still trying to figure out the best strategy to deal with 3rd parties

Square Enix backed down from dropping Nintendo because they had a lockhold on portables, but their strategy on exclusives were not working out

And they couldn't convince more to jump in
