Extracto de la entrevista a Itagaki-san publicada en la XNM:
XBN: A lot of men will buy this game because of the attractive chicks. What is the most risque element you've included in Beach Volleyball?
Itagaki: You'd be surprised, but this is not really a sex game. The girls are beautiful, but I think of them like daughters. They're my babies!
XBN: So there's no nudity at all?
Itagaki: Never! I ask you now, what kind of father would want to show his daughters naked?
XBN: I don't know. Do you happen to know any?
Itagaki: But even if we show nipples, that doesn't necessarily mean sexy. The real entertainment value of this game is in the beauty of the environments, the characters...it's paradise!
XBN: Roughly what perentage of the game is actually volleyball?
Itagaki: Okay, let me break it down. About 30 percent of the game is volleyball. About two percent is the pool-hopping side game. Another 30 percent is very beautiful, interactive computer graphics.
XBN: Has work started on DOA4?
Itagaki: Of course.
XBN: For Xbox or antoher system?
Itagaki: I'm looking at a farily big change this time. In fact, I might look at a next generation system for DOA4, but it's not decided yet. I don't want to alienate current Xbox owners, though.
