Tango Gameworks recruits three ex-Capcom talents
by [@salromano] at 07:04 PM EDT, November 5, 2010 .

Tango Gameworks, Shinji Mikami’s new studio, has updated its staff page with three notable new members to its team, each with their own history at Capcom, Platinum Games, and Clover Studios.

The three lucky new staffers are:

  • Masafumi Takada – a sound director and composer who’s portfolio includes Vanquish, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Killer 7 and No More Heroes.
  • Naoki Kataki – a lead art and environment director. He worked as Environment Art Director for Resident Evil on Gamecube, Okami and Vanquish.
  • Shinichiro Ishikawa – a programmer who’s past works include Mega Man Legends, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta and Vanquish.

Accompanying the staff update was a mysterious new piece of artwork (shown above). Although, we’re not quite sure what it’s for; hence, “mysterious.”

Thanks, Andriasang.

  1. fucking ace :D

    good to see some high profile people joining mikami’s studio. especially Masafumi Takada.

    though i though Masafumi Takada is from Grasshopper Manufacturer since he always compose music for suda 51′s game. though he did Vanquish so i guess he was a freelancer.

    i hope this will be as Mind Blowing as Killer 7. heck why not invite Suda 51 again since your both doing Shadows of the Damned.

    TANGO”s project is going to be incredible. Their website is also very cool. I had no idea Mikami-san has recruited BAYONETTA & VANQUISH (2 of the best games EVER MADE) talent. I am now beyond excited…
