The legendary Katsuhiro Harada has announced that he plans to depart Bandai Namco after thirty years at the company. Katsuhiro Harada has worked on the Tekken franchise right from the beginnings all the way to Tekken 8. IGN reports that he decided to call it quits after the loss of close friends in his personal life and the retirement or death of senior colleagues had caused him to reflect on the time he has left as a creator. It should be noted though that he doesn’t say that he is retiring, so who knows where he could work next.
Katsuhiro Harada to leave Bandai Namco after 30 years
Confirms Tekken 8 flopped no matter what copeheads and shills like Max Dood say. Crazy maniac said Harada is behind Smash Bros?! Like bro is such a fraud. Also reminder Harada did not create Tekken Seichii Ishii created Tekken and Harada did not have majority control until Tekken 6 and full control by 7 the guy did so much bad for Tekken. Tekken honestly might be done, season 3 will come out and if that flops series is done. FGC is cooked.
Yup dude is a massive liar he said the SC6 guy left because the game underperformed that’s why the series is dead now that this happens to Harada he’s on full cope and shill. Massive liar shill who ruined fighting games. NRS will close down after WB is bought he’s crying over that, Tekken is dead, Tokon is trash, Arc System burned bridges it seems with Bandai, Capcom is in similar problems with SF6 they promised shareholders way more and are not meeting it, only fightimg games coming from legacy companies are Sega and SNK maybe Koei Tecmo. Smaller fighting games Max shills will not take off and don’t look back at KI and Power Rangers or NickASB he abandoned and had control of. He’ll get Tifa in Tekken season 3 and when that flops add another studio to the list Max killed.
Arc System is making Guilty Gear Strive 2 but unlike the last one it will flop just look how bad the fall off was for that game and the guest character is not selling. Saudi’s need to move EVO to Riyadh and invest in new games they have a stake in Koei Tecmo so Dead Or Alive also Koei Tecmo said they would outsource it, pay Konami and Eighting to make a new Bloody Roar, and make a big Shonen Jump crossover game from CyberConnect2, also with the Saudi’s buying EA they will be making a new Def Jam or spiritual succesor that will be the new big game at EVO. MK does not appeal to Saudi or Indian values the new owners of EVO so that is dead and WB sale no matter what NRS is done Injustice 3 could be short.
I will be suprised if Dear or Alive comes back.
Koei Tecmo said they were outsourcing Dead Or Alive and Ninja Gaiden. 2 Ninja Gaiden games have since released.
How did a single sloptuber kill those games? Is Max Dood really that popular?
He has a huge say on fighting games they listen to what he wants he also has some say on other games and even Hollywood like other influencers. Max influenced bad decisions and crossovers in MK, MK1 kameo system was his suggestion originally as tag he shilled it for a long time before he shifted, Killer Instinct 2013 post season 1 was 100% him the weird female characters faces his influence he worked on the game, FF16 he influenced them hiring a ex Platinum guy to assist and make it a DMC clone in gameplay, Tekken he influenced them hiring issues in Tekken 8 also Clive and probably Tifa next, he got the awful 1980’s Shredder in Nick Brawl and never played him, he had some say in the Power Rangers game despite not liking the franchise, he actually hates anime and Dragon Ball but because FighterZ did so well for him he tried getting Bandai to go back to that and prayed for Sparking Zero to flop always attacking that audience like he does the anime community funny the woke guy does this he is literally a 50 year old Hasan Piker literally the same. He used to hate on MK all the time now shills it, he shilled MVCI for near a decade, Rumbleverse, and he probably did influence Bandai wasting money on more Tekken leading to cancelling anime games he hates, attacked Zelda because his journo friends did, attacked Stellar Blade because politics, now creepo tries to fit in with kids and will play Fortnite if Cloud is added. Sega sadly also has been talking with him and paid him to play games he really didn’t want to and really didn’t even play he only does it for connection to get to VF and ruin that next. He shilled Ubisoft too and Disney always pushing agenda funny he hates corporations and the rich but loves to shill and cover for the right politicians along with his friends. Max is a streamer by the way and nepo baby his parents are rich.
Yeah he influenced many games and some systems, designs, story, and characters other things as well. MK1 kameo system was because his want for tag, Clive in Tekken, probably getting Tifa in Tekken, suggested the DMC style combat in FF16, SF6 style he influenced making it overly expensive, Killer Instinct season 2 onwards he was involved with directly, Strive he had some influence, and he has messed up many publishers with his suggestions and they do pay him to play games Sega has even though he hates them, he was paid to play AC Shadows, Capcom has given him exclusive access too, despite hating WB he takes money from them for games especially MK despite hating MK before getting shill deals, Bandai Namco he really ruined but they give him access to Tekken early and he’s friendly with those devs too, he also has had influence on shows and movies too with influencers his age.
Don’t forget he and his friends like Matt McMuscles spread lies about Tomonobu Itagaki and slandered the man for their politics. Matt falsely claimed Itagaki was fired for SA when Itagaki won that in court and he left because he and other staff were not paid properly. Max just spread lies about him not being talented and attacked him but defended Kamiya and Harada who are worse and in Kamiya’s case blocks people for no reason. Then when he died Max all of a sudden switched up such a POS. Even worse he said Platinum was dead withour Kamiya then NG4 came out and worse he took the deal to promote it such a scumbag.
If he hates big corporations and capitalism so much he and all like him should stop supporting them but no they like all pre zoomers would rather virtue signal and lie. These people are in for a financial reckoning notice he complains about money now and blames Trump but he and his friends defended Biden. They have no understanding of the industry or politics but want to lecture millenials are so annoying especially spoiled californian liberal brats now near 50 years old. Max’s parents are rich he’s another spoiled nepo baby like Hasan just older, whole reason he loves James Cameron his parents knew him. Geoff at game awards is the same they were Imax executives.
Yup like all influencers. The sooner Twitch goes under the better the sooner the influencers are gone the better. He even admits the gaming influencers at events are all like 40 no 20 year olds they did this same with film
God, you sound like such a moron. Like, jesus christ, you’re like a caveman clawing at the dirt. I don’t know whether to dislike you or pity you.
Now he’s being racist against the streamer awards and people there attacking black people max the fraud
Funny he supports rioting but takes issues with people being rowdy at an awards show and made weird morale high ground comments against them? He hates the police like what do you think happens to society when all this happens? I swear he and people like him should have no influence whatsoever or power. He is beyond dumb and entitled Gen X and Y are just like the boomers refuse to see how things work because they are that far brainwashed and want things their way without seeing how that is enforced. He actually said the national guard is Spehiroth and the rioters are Cloud. Yet somehow he supports the military? Bro is a massive liar and scumbag. Now he has another racism claim against him no one feels bad. I remember he and his friends defended Biden like crazy for price increases then all of a sudden they directly blame Trump now like they are mentally ill and have no real opinion. They are Newsom voters for sure.
Could he have left because Bandai Namco is about to be bought by Nintendo?
No. Tekken 8 flopped that’s why failed to meet expectations Bandai Namco had. Max dood already lying about it. Tekken 7 used old assets and was cheaper to make but this had more money invested in it and it failed to live up to that tons of money wasted not just on budget but for licensing and promotion and low DLC sales. Honestly SF6 may be next.
Add that to them needing to make back costs from other flops Unknown9, Crimson whatever, Blue Protocol, and others. Tekken will end and 8 was awful and instead of listening to criticism they listened to shills who lie. I swear the FGC will be owned by Saudi Arabia and I hope all these activists leave it makes them look hypocritical but then again look at Hasan and his friends.
Good. He ruined Tekken, him and Michael fire Michael Murray next! Bandai is run by lunatics it seems they sold the Elden Ring IP to From Software, canceled anime games that make money, and invested more into Tekken and have invested in Rebel Wolves Dawnwalker game and Little Nightmares also Unknown9 which flopped. They listened to influencers here in the west millenials and they set them up for failure same with other publishers. Bandai cut costs on Dragon Ball Sparking Zero and other games but invested more in Tekken despite Dragon Ball making way more money and let that game die.
Harada and Max helped kill Bandai Namco games the anime titles I don’t know how they can keep the licenses? Probably going to lose them soon. Murray ruined Tekken with Harada too and Max’s influence will end it. The next guest will be Tifa and it will not sell the way Bandai wants.
Goodbye! Tekken is trash and so is the FGC now NRS needs to close next. Ed Boon will leave soon he’s like 62 older than Harada. MK is worse been needed to end and SF too. Capcom would make more money not make SF.
Good, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
One problem less. Todd… you are next.
Tekken is officially done, Tekken 8 killed it all the ego of people like Murray and Max Dood another game killed by Max he need to be memed guy kills games and series MK, Tekken, soon Square Enix, MvC, and honestly Street Fighter probably soon Guilty Gear probably next maybe Arc System since they wasted money on other games. Bandai Namco in worse shape now and nothing coming to save them their own doing and Max influence.
Tekken is done, MK is probably done, SF is next to be ended. FGC is cooked those arrogant losers will have to humble themselves better stand by their morales and boycott EVO and Saudi Arabia. GG is all they have and that will flop. Tokon looks like trash and even the shills admit it, game was always going to be trash no one liked Strive but it sold well because PS5 ponies needed a game to play and it was brand exclusive to PS cross gen but exclusive to PS at launch 4 and 5. They not coming back for Strive 2. Woke killed fighting games, ass kissers, and millenial control.
Manipulator Max already trying his boomer manipulator tactics of being on sone fake moral high ground. These people need to go already also Twitch needs to be shut down. Nepo baby entitled man child is crying over Netflix buying WB like move on this guy cheered on Disney buying Fox didn’t care about all that activist crap but Netflix WB bad? WB before Netflix bad but he’ll still take the check. He’s trying to force them to sell MK like he hated the franchise before he became a influencer and he helped ruin MK1 the kameo system was something he suggested he wanted tag in MK something the actual fans didn’t want same with awful MCU story he loved it the actual fans hated it some want 3D MK back he openly hates it. Bro has no understanding of the entertainment landscape he thinks Disney is the biggest company in the world, thinks WB has unlimited cash for MK, and doesn’t know the owners of Paramount are super rich Skydance he also doesn’t know Skydance owns Terminator so they have a connection to MK he’s crying that would be worse probably because of his californtard politics. Harada was not some genius he even lied trying to say the guy wasn’t a developer he was a executive this guy max keeps lying and won’t stop to shill or push his narrative. Now he’s even defending crazy QT Cinderella like bro you should not care about that at your age it’s weird just shows talent agencies and management control these people to push the narrative they want. People need to demand Twitch shut down all the hypocrisy and trash there especially because it’s not profitable Clancy went to meet with some Republican congresswomen to ease that, it shouldn’t! Close the trash down!
