So yeah along with the Nintendo Power cover saying there is a new game, this confirms its coming to the 3DS.

Hopefully with Griptonite involved (for chuff sake please give them enough time to do it SEGA!) this will fair better than the dreadful GBA and meh PS2 games. It is a shame that there are more shit Shinobi games than good.

I wish it showed some gameplay from the actual game and not from the old games. I hate teasers.

Lol, funny, I just completed both Shinobi and Shadow Dancer some weeks ago on MAME.

Good time for a new Shinobi game. I hope they'll do a good job on it (please, be 2D, please).

Anyone looking for a bit of Ninja 2D platformy action check out Ninja Five-O/Ninja Cop on GBA.

Only played like the 1980s ones. I'm lagging ain't I?

If this proves to be good, I'm in.



EDIT:- O NOEZ I broke my l33t post count QQ

Griptonite has done some awesome work on the DS. I can't wait to see some game play footage.

OH MY GOD FUCK YEAH.

Griptonite makes some pretty good handheld games. They actually do a swell job with some shit that's thrown at them (Iron Man 2 was fun, Over the Hedge was surprisingly good, and then there's Assassin's Creed II: Discovery and the Spiderman games that are my favorites for their DS games) so hopefully they won't screw this up. It seems like something they'd get even more time and effort for so it may just be excellent.

I'm an interested panda.

I'm an interested err cow..thing.
Sounds almost too good to be true.

I honestly thought it would be something similar to the PS2 Shinobi game.

I really don't want a side-scroller..
