Tecmo’s Team Ninja Working On Three Titles

by Kev Lochun on September 3, 2008

Speaking at Tecmo’s Autumn Conference, new president Yasuharu Kakihara has revealed that Team Ninja are not only still together following Itagaki’s departure, but that they’re very busy indeed.

Three new titles are being worked on, but there’s no word on what they are. It’s a bit too soon for Ninja Gaiden 3, but it’s about time for Dead or Alive 5, isn’t it? He did however bring up Team Tachyon’s Rygar: The Battle of Argus– more details about it will be revealed at TGS 2008.

President Kakihara also engaged in a formal bit of corporate back-slapping, affirming that Tecmo is a world class developer and would be aiming to expand in the future. Though I’m not sure dreams of expansion are going to sit with Square Enix.

I’m sure this is not what you were hoping for.

According to the February issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, it’s a definite “maybe”. Of course that could just be a typo. Read more…

Ninja Gaiden 2 – Preview

by James Fleming on September 28, 2007

“The forecasted title for - Ninja Gaiden II: Electric Boogaloo”

When the original Ninja Gaiden was released in the U.S. in March of 1989 on the NES console it was an instant classic. The mix of side scrolling action, shuriken power-ups, insane difficulty and memorable boss battles left a lasting impression on young gamers across America. It also set the record straight concerning the misconceptions surrounding that most mysterious of ancient Japanese arts: Ninjutsu. The game’s developer, Tecmo, encouraged us to look past the rants of so called “historians” who claim that the Shinobi were assassins who incorporated the use of avoidance, non-detection, information gathering and stealth to achieve their goals.

According to the Tokyo based game company that was all a lot of baloney. Ninjas actually cared very little for subtleties – favoring the slaughter of everything from birds, leopards, dogs and spiders to fellow ninjas, grenade hurling hulks, axe lobbing hockey masked maniacs and even women…all in broad daylight. Yes, Ryu Hyabusa definitely utilized extermination over espionage and little has changed in the almost two decades since the series’ inception. Read more…

Review: Ninja Gaiden Sigma

by Chad Lakkis on July 4, 2007

ninja_header.jpg

One of the finest experiences in gaming just got better. Team Ninja has hit it out of the park with their latest installment of blade swinging action. Our beloved Ryu Hayabusa is back, in black, and better than ever. Playstation 3 owners, you now have a response to the insults regarding your system’s line up of games. Yes, Metal Gear Solid 4 is still a ways away, but Ninja Gaiden Sigma is here now, and you can only find it on the PS3! Read more…

What the heck are you looking at?!?

PlayStation 3 owners rejoice, for you and you alone have Team Ninja!

Eager fans of the Ninja Gaiden series have likely already hit the PlayStation Store, downloaded the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo, and played it non stop until their hands started bleeding, but now there is a reason to go back and play it some more!

Team Ninja and Tecmo have once again sprung from the shadows to smack us upside the head, this time in the form of an update! Read more…
