Tomonobu Itagaki is a playable character in Saint Row
Is this a first for a game? A Japanese developer is a playable character in a Western game? I think so. While the whole thing may seem a bit ridiculous, you have to admit it makes some sense. I mean, Who's a bigger beast than the hard drinking, hard boozing, hard seku-hara, Team Ninja boss? Steal his Ninja Gaiden francise? I'm sure he's coming for some blood! In all seriousness, I didn't have the slightest bit of interest in Saints Row: The Third until now. Excellent marketing guys! [Via Crunchyroll] Did you know?
