I personally dont see a point to him refering to go and read up on Rommel.
Though everything else in the interview was highly amusing! And do agree with him wanting to snap the DS in half due to Sandy the Ganguro fairy.

And then go on and talk about how he's interested in WWII and doing something there?
I am now eagerly awaiting for a paradox to come and eat Itagaki.
Also, why is Gillian on one of the photos?

The tank is the Type 90.

For anyone curious about what the top picture is its the Type 92 Mine Clearing Vehicle. It fires a rocket across an area with mines and attached to the wire is explosives that is laid out then set off to detonate any possible explosives in the area. Pretty interesting stuff.
Heres a vid for those wanting to see it in action.

@North Star: Are you suggesting a North Korean style photoshop job?

It really is a strange piece of hardware. The guided missiles that most western countries use (MLRS) are gyro guided, not wire guided. Additionally a cable big enough to show up in that photo would be fairly thick. I doubt they have enough to keep it attatched all the way to the target.
I'm going to guess that the wire is how the missile connects to the fire control, and how the missile gets its targeting data. It will most likely disconnect shortly after launch. Alas, I don't know much about Japanese missiles, other than the PATRIOTs they bought from us.

@Tacticalspoon: Tacticalspoon, its a rocket system that works like the M58 MICLIC.
The vehicle if you are curious is a Type 92 (MCV)

I never wish bad tidings on anyone because that's bad karma.
But Ita, you do what you do to remain relevant in this gen, you have your loyal fans who will support you in your endeavors so make something awesome for them. Even though I might never see it (PS3 owner here) I hope it kicks ass.
That's all I got to say about the man, I may not be his biggest fan but he gave me DoA and so earns my respect.
Now if you excuse me, I need to go watch the Sixxaxis boob jiggling feature again. BRB!

Imagine if someone actually got turned on by that feature! Imagine if people like that existed somewhere! ... Imagine what kinda person you'd have to be to-!?
OH HORROR!
You know what? No... Don't try to imagine what kinda person you'd have to be to get turned on by the boob jiggling feature in NGΣ2. I already did and now I'm TRAUMATIZED!
09/22/09
ROFL! That's why I love them...the boobs are total lawls.
09/22/09
LOL! As opposed to people getting turned on by headshots.
It's really not that bad, if you watched enough anime then the tits shaking in NG2 sigma is really nothing to get traumatized over.
09/22/09
No, you're hot.

Kotaku: Well, we tend to think of breast bouncing mechanics as being a registered trademark of your games, Itagaki-san, so tell us, are you doing okay at home?
Itagaki: Don't worry, my wife is no pushover — trust me! (laughs)"
haha Itagaki got served By Bashcraft... thwt was epic win
09/22/09
Itagaki: I don't really know what the point is in doing something like that, but hey, I'm still here. Does editing Wikipedia change the world or something?
Kotaku: That's a good question.
It's okay, Kotaku got served by Itagaki there. Trying to get him to say another infamous comment, only to be surprised by his carefree response. It's not a "good question," it's fact!

Plus, I doubt there were many tits the WW2 Pacific Theatre.

Itagaki: I believe I created one possible example of a perfected fighting game 4 years ago. If someone else wants to make one, I say they go right ahead."
LMAO
09/22/09
LMAO indeed.
perfected? im sorry but DOA is as shallow as fighters get. VF would own DOA any day of the week. now if he wants to prove millions of gamers wrong, i would love to see a evolution of DOA.
09/22/09
perfected does not mean perfect. There is room for jiggle in that statement
09/22/09
well served lad, well served. {^_~}

Hell yeah. Itagaki's the man!!! Keepin' shit REAL.
