Team Ninja leader Tomonobu Itagaki has announced that he will be leaving and suing Tecmo. You can read the full text here. What does this mean for future editions of Ninja Gaiden Swords?

Whoa, this is unexpected...
Hopefully, no more Xbox exclusives...

Placing bets... Who will buy up Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive? Nintendo already supposibly owns Fatal Frame, let alone owning Fatal Frame IV. It's not that far of a stretch to grab up Team Ninja's franchises. Meanwhile, Microsoft wants to keep the games on their system, but it's going to be hard to keep both Tecmo and Itagaki happy. Then there is the wild card of Sony... Will they jump at the chance to gain another so-called Microsoft franchise?

... just because Itagaki is leaving doesn't mean Tecmo is going to have a garage sale of all their franchises. He may be an important name to them, but I don't see Tecmo changing much, except for their games becoming better/worse as a result.
