Itagaki x Harada

[synce]

Haven't laughed this hard in a while... It's an april fool's video featuring Itagaki, Harada, and some Capcom guy. It's Itagaki's birthday, they're all drunk, and they pledge to make a game that sells 15 billion copies for Arika (an irrelevant Japanese game company).

These two have been hanging out a lot lately though, kinda makes me wonder if they could collaborate for real.

Thanks for this, maybe it's this a hint of Devil's Third being published by Arika in Japan?.

That capcom guy just may be Ono. I dont follow SF at all. All I know though is that Ono was the biggest troll.

 

[Matt Ponton]

It's not ono.

 

[Koompbala]

I take it its the guy that took his place?

His name is Motohide Eshiro, he worked a few Onimusha games... He's just "there," like that weird guy in the background

BTW I looked up Arika on wikipedia and was shocked to see they're still making games. So maybe they're not so irrelevant

But just thinking about Itagaki and Harada teaming up... A game with Tekken's gameplay and DOA's aesthetics....

I personally would love to see this. Hopefully, this silly rivalry between both communities would be over (after years of nonsense). But until then...VF x DOA

VFxDOA has to come first before any other kind of collaboration, but it would still be fantastic to see what the two of them could do together. I still find it hard to believe I saw a pic of the two of them sitting side-by-side drinking a beer just late last year XD

So crazy seeing those two sitting together! lol. WTF at that gif HAHAA!

That's a big "hopefully".

Now that I think about it, Harada seems to be more and more influenced by Itagaki with each passing year. Once upon a time, Itagaki looked to the character Kasumi as her daughter of sorts, and now Harada's acting the same way towards Lili. Granted, the character spawned from inspiration of the Capcom character Ingrid, but still, the PR events that followed with his involvement were so... Itagaki-like.

We'll never know. Harada did pay his respects to Itagaki AFTER he left office, after all.
