Wow, is it just me or is PSP doing a lot better in Japan? Both quality and sales wise? Any chance either of these crack the top 10?

New slogan for the PS3 in MC threads: Wait until Ninja Gaiden.

:lol

It might be the first game I buy for the PS3. If so, that will make three versions of NG I've bought.

Yeah, because Team Ninja sucks at making games.

*rollseyes

They may not suck at making games, but they suck at making Ninja Gaiden.

And by Ninja Gaiden, I mean this...

...not the Xbox game of the same name.

Ninja Gaiden DS was a chance for Team Ninja to prove that they can make "real Ninja Gaiden", not just "Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden", and while they were at it they could prove that they're better at 2D than Koji Igarashi and maybe even Keiiji Inafune. But no, they have to go and suck. I'd rather Tecmo just make some more Rio pron for the DS.

you hold the DS like a book? ughhhhhhhhhh

why Team Ninja why? ;(

Apparently because Ryu's character takes up 50% of the available screen space, so by making it vertical you can have 25% visibility in any given direction, instead of having 50% to the left and right and being forced to walk blind whenever you need to move up or down.

I loved how the boss exploded. Did he activate his bomb laden vest as a last ditch effort to take you out?

Tecmo != Team Ninja

But they didn't have to make a NG either. I wonder who's bright idea that was...

justchris · Mar 28, 2007

God****!

I hated the 3d Ninja Gaiden almost as much as I loved the original 2d games. And touch screen controls? TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLS!!!!??? You just do this to harvest my tears, don't you?

rockman zx · Mar 28, 2007

Wow, Ninja Gaiden for the DS, also Sigma to be released in june confirmed, I hope Team NINJA make a demo and released it before the lauch date.

mugwhump · Mar 28, 2007

Wonder if NGDS will have you drawing sword slashes on the screen... I've always wanted to try that since the DS was unveiled.

any word yet on what console this is for?

wonder if this has any chance of being one of gaijinworks's mysterious acquisitions?

Xrenity · Mar 28, 2007

Ninja Gaiden DS getting a lot of hate here...

I'll actually wait for more footage/info before I state the gameplay is ruined.

Come on, Team Ninja ain't some crappy dev.

NON-GAME CONFIRMED

Jonnyram · Mar 28, 2007

Growlanser VI is PS2.

Also Q Games is working on a selection of casual games for PS3 (PSN distribution) called PixelJunk series. They're the guys who made DigiDrive for GBA and Starfox Command, not to be confused with Mizuguchi's Q? Entertainment.

farnham · Mar 28, 2007

im excited about NGDS...

360 related; Idea Factory announced another 360 game called...Desire. :lol
...and there seems to be new Trusty Bell article introducing new characters in the magazine.

toypop · Mar 28, 2007

"NG:Sigma demo will be released on April 27, and that has original stages apart from final version. You can play and record scores for online leader-board."

Hmm Time to buy PS3 maybe? But I don't wanna play whole NG again heh.
That was fun but painful to be owned by Alma all the day.

Cool! Maybe something similar to the bit Generation series? I would be definitely interested.

Mr. Pointy · Mar 28, 2007

Ninja Gaiden DS will be like a shit version of Onimusha. Itagaki will call it a masterpiece.

Kafel · Mar 28, 2007

Anyone remember the interview of last month when it was said that the Itagaki project on DS will be "totally different" from what he's used to ?

Branduil · Mar 28, 2007

Ninja Gaiden DS will probably suck, but I'm not ready to say it definitely will.

_Alkaline_ · Mar 28, 2007

Question: When does the new issue of ngamer (which apparently unveils a new Wii game and gave a hint last issue which was space/earth) come out?

Tomorrow, no ?

Skilotonn · Mar 28, 2007

Touch screen-only gameplay is unexpected, but I'm not gonna overreact - it's still Ninja Gaiden, the greatest ation game ever made!

Plus I need a new DS game - haven't bought one since Clubhouse Games...

I'm very intrigued to see how this plays...

Jonnyram · Mar 28, 2007

Haunted · Mar 28, 2007

Touch-screen only is meh, borderline bleh, even.

I switched from stylus to traditional controls about 10 minutes into Super mario 64 DS - having the option really helped that game. If NG DS plays like Mario 64 DS with the stylus....

bleh.

EDIT: ah, a scan! well, it seems to look good... *sigh* play before you pay and all that.

EDITEDIT: :lol at the BIG PURPLE TEXT smeared all over the scan. At least it doesn't insult Jeux-France this time.

Error · Mar 28, 2007

jonnyram what does it says? the scan

Kafel · Mar 28, 2007

thx Jonny. o/

FateBreaker · Mar 28, 2007

was Growlanser just announced, or was there any information and/or screens to go with it?

Branduil · Mar 28, 2007

Well, if it's top-down it might be okay. Maybe it'll be like Diablo on crack.

farnham · Mar 28, 2007

Zelda DS is touchscreen only too.. it doesnt mean the game will be an abomination

Mr. Pointy · Mar 28, 2007

Oooh top-down view. Interest risen by 25%.

icecream · Mar 28, 2007

Another port of a game, or a new game?

Skilotonn · Mar 28, 2007

Jonnyram said:

Thanks Jonny - I almost passed that off as another game due to that artwork!

Top-down view with these controls starts to make me see what they're aiming for - and it looks to be cool...

That stage looks just like the area before and in the bone dragon boss' area - does the scan say if this is also some sort of remake? Either way, it looks like I will be buying an NG game before NG2 (still can't justify buying a PS3 for just Sigma, no matter how hardcore of an NG fan I am)...

Namomura · Mar 28, 2007

another DS game by tecmo... ?

Growlanser VI Precarious World (PS2)

Kafel · Mar 28, 2007

thx, well this one game could be different from what Itagaki is used to do.

This better have hot Urushihara tits to complement the gameplay.

Grizzlyjin · Mar 28, 2007

Ninja Gaiden DS sounds a bit lame, but I'm far from writing it off so early. Hopefully they at least include the option for a A/B/X/Y control scheme. Even though the game might be based around the touch controls, some people just don't like playing that way...In the end, this game brings both joy and fear into heart. Seriously, who here wasn't hoping it would be a 2D remake with more advanced combos?

RiZ III · Mar 28, 2007

Itagaki looks like an eternal pimp right there.

Thats pretty impressive for the DS. But Holding the DS vertically is uncomfortable

Doubt it since you hold the DS book style.

- TOUCHSCREEN CONTROLS WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NG on DS? hawt. And its not just GnG with a ninja theme? double hawt.

'bout time the touchscreen got a use outside of rhythm games.

Looks like a murder mystery adventure game.

Xellotah · Mar 28, 2007

Anybody waiting for the NES version of Ninja Guyden, should probably just wait until they hit the VC.

Touch screen controls? hmm .. I'll wait and see.

Actually, that doesn't look so bad.
