All Your Base: Cave CEO Tsuneki Ikeda

SPOnG Exclusive Interview: "When you sit down with the CEO of a company like Cave, it’s difficult not to get overwhelmed. This is a studio with a lot of history behind it, arguably formed of developers that have reinvented the 2D shoot’em up, while aiming to keep the genre alive in today’s era of 3D first person blasters.

Tsuneki Ikeda is one of those shmup legendaries. He was at arcade powerhouse Toaplan for two years before it declared bankruptcy and closed its doors in 1994, with credits for V-V and Batsugun under his belt. He helped form Cave with the company’s chairman Kenichi Takano, and now as CEO is leading a new wave of shoot’em up developers such as Hiroyuki Kimura, Hideki Nomura and Yukihiro Masaki."
