Team Ninja has three new games for TGS News

Xbox 360 DS PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

4 September, 2008

Ninja Gaiden developer Team Ninja apparently has three action games ready to unveil at the Tokyo Game Show, which takes place in early October.

That's according to Yasuharu Kakihara, president of parent company Tecmo, who was speaking at a Japanese press conference yesterday (watched by IGN).

Details were scarce, but the trio of titles are said to appeal to a worldwide audience. Clearly spiky-haired kangaroo boxing with tea breaks and high scores, then.

The games could, of course, be "Project Progressive" or "Dead or Alive: Code Cronus", which have both been whispered about by Team Ninja but never unveiled.

This may also mark the end of a traditionally Xbox-based development focus; following-on from Ninja Gaiden: Sigma on PS3 and Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword on DS.

Word of the projects arrives in the middle of merger talks between Tecmo and KOEI, after the former rejected a takeover bid by Square Enix.

At least the 360 is getting another exclusive generic Ninja action game.

Woohoo.

You can't really call NG/2 generic, the first was the best in the action game genre for me.

The second one's not though.

@Duff

play 1 and 2 within half an hour of each other, and 2 is most clearly superior, trust me it is the case, it is just a whole lot quicker and slicker

of it's time perhaps the first made a bigger impact...that is true

Been there done that billy. I beat NG2 on MN and went back to NGB the next day and had so much more fun. NG2 is most certainly faster and has a better engine, but it's wasted on continuously cheap game design. I don't hate the game or anything, but with a few more months the higher difficulties could easily have been brought up to standard with the engine and the bugs fixed, sadly not. Each to his own and all that though.
