you hold the DS like a book? ughhhhhhhhhh

[Pureauthor]

Nomura says new Disney project is not a KH game.

Oh, look, the probability of it being a new IP rose about 0.2%.

How cute.

According to what's readable on that scan, except for blocking, you control everything in Ninja Gaiden with the stylus. Touch the field and you move there. Double-tap to jump. And Ninjutsu too, but I don't see them specifying how—maybe you draw the kanji, like in that lower-right photo.

Well, that sounds... That sounds...

Pretty awful, really.

Yeah, not ideal for any kind of action game unfortunately.

I'm kinda wishing it was NES remakes at this point.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Wow.

I went from HYPE to Meh on NGDS in, like, twenty minutes.

:lol :lol :lol ahahahahhaha :lol :lol :lol :lol :lo

that's not Ninja Gaiden at all...that's...that's nothing.

 

[ethelred]

The DS really brings out the worst in developers.

I thought we were past the point of devs using the touchscreen for the sake of using the touchscreen.

Sounds terrible.

Wait, yes there are: WTF?!

Who said its an action game?

 

[Grecco]

Sigh. Just Sigh.

Complete stylus control? I mean really?

 

[Mashing]

That sounds like that crappy first person RPG that came out a while back (not Eterian Oddessy).

 

[Shouta]

There are no words.



Wait, yes there are: WTF?!

You forgot the bold, italics, and underline tags.

WTF?!

Its like some developers do a good job with the DS and other make Ninja Gaiden DS.

 

[Y2Kev]

:lol :lol I'm still laughing. I wonder if Itagaki had anything to do with this.

Let's add highlight too.


WTF?!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I don't...what.

I mean, who the **** thought this was a good idea? This is like a PS3 adventure game where you only use the triggers and literally nothing else. And I don't even have a good analogy for making it 3D, that's just stupid.

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST GIVE NINJA GAIDEN TRILOGY NEW SPRITES

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST FINE

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU $30 FOR THAT

 

[Matix]

Remember this is Team Ninja, so they might can work some 3D-magic (even on the DS).

Oh..

I-can't-see-shit scans of NG have surfaced, looks like you play it with the DS on the side... I hope it's comfortable:


Hopefully Jonny will do some good ones soon.

Uh yea, forget what I said earlier.

 

[Grecco]

I guess making a 2D game on it ala the NES games was too easy for Team Ninja? Made too much sense.

Damn, that is disheartening news.

 

[JDSN]

Got Carpal Tunnel?


NINJA DOG!

 

[Mrbob]

We really don't need Ninja Gaiden DS to be NES remakes.

Yes we do. STFU!

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

I hate to sound negative, but, playing with the sisters mode in PoR turned out to be utterly annoying and a bitch to control for left handed people. I really don't see how this will control well. Unless this is like a faux arpg or something.

I really hope they come through with something amazing, and not Devil May Cry 2.

 

[Error]

what a ****ing tragedy

there is always Megaman and Castlevania for more 2d action sidescrolling goodness.

 

[Tempy]

If I put my blurry-vision goggles on those pics look like they have some nice drawn backgrounds. I'm having visions of Dragon Lair for some reason. It looks to have a map screen. Uhm. Yeah.

 

[klee123]

I take back my previous statement.

 

[Pureauthor]

Seriously. This is a horrendous decision. Who thought this would be a good idea?

 

[ethelred]

Maybe they looked at Phantom Hourglass and got inspired by that.

 

[Wollan]

Folk Souls will be bigger than NG in Japan I bet (not bigger than Gundam M though).

 

[diunxx]

2d ninja gaiden?

remember the good old days when we thought that this was going to be a new 2d ninja gaiden?

 

[kenta]

Alright, the DS is on fire and we need to capitalize on it but we've got enough on our hands with the PS3 and 360... Hmm... Go get those new interns, would you?

 

[klee123]

Folk Souls will be bigger than NG in Japan I bet (not bigger than Gundam M though).

Monster Kingdom on PSP wasn't exactly a huge seller in Japan tho.

You remember an argument a while back about how Nintendo should try to inspire 3rd parties by showing what could be done on their own systems?

I take that back. All of it.

 

[Takuhi]

Who said its an action game?

Well, they say it's an Action-Adventure, to be specific...

So maybe there's still hope for Hotel Ninja Gaiden?

But I jest. There is no hope here.

 

[drohne]

the nintendo ds really brings the best out of game developers

 

[the year 20XX]

the nintendo ds really brings the best out of game developers

I completely agree with you, but only for those game developers with great back catalogs.

 

[splattergnome]

Who said its an action game?

Ninja Training DS

 

[sykoex]

Watch them come out with a kick ass 2.5D ninja gaiden on PSP...

Spoiler

complete with every 2D ninja gaiden as an unlockable.

 

[EphemeralDream]

If they wanted to do something like this, they really should have just done a new IP.

 

[SonSon2]

...maybe it's a ninja gaiden adventure game?

 

[snorggy]

The Ninja Gaiden DS game is surprising... Can't wait to hear more about it!

 

[My Chemical Mouse]

A NG 3D game is better suited for PSP.

The fact they put it on DS, and now it sounds like trash is truly disappointing.

 

[a Master Ninja]

I'll need to see some gameplay footage before I can form any opinions.

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

Why? Why sully the name of the greatest 3D action game of all time?
