  After a long-drawn out battle, Tomonobu Itagaki has finally settled his case with his former employment Tecmo. While he did make this formal announcement, though, he did not reveal the nitty-gritties of the settlement.

A little history is in order in order to fully appreciate this development. Back in June of 2008 (it’s definitely been a loooong time), Itagaki filed suit against Tecmo allegedly for unpaid compensation and “disingenuous statements”. The target of his allegations was CEO Yoshima Yasuda.

He then left the company and even threatened to bring the franchise with him. Since then, it was all-out war between the two entities, exchanging words, with Tecmo the one frantically attempting to do damage control.

All that is in the past now, with Itagaki thanking his supporters, “I wait for the day when I can announce to everyone the new title that I’m currently conceiving.”

And you can bet he’ll bring you “world class entertainment” with “a greater depth of play than before” — cos that’s exactly what he’s promised.
