So it will be played with the NDS on the "book" position?

Interesting..

Yeah... for me it's one of those see it to believe it things. But the scans DO look really good.

Thanks for the link drz.

I appreciate it is only a demo but did that look far easier than it should have been?

I suppose I had better mention graphics, the camera it was shot from was not the best (look at the reds) but they certainly are some of the best I have seen the DS squeeze out, not sure about the fixed/on rails camera but I could learn to deal with it.

I agree, it looks like a quick swipe will result in him doing a spectacularly flashy attack, not what I'd expect from the series.

The graphics look superb though.

Are the backgrounds hand-drawn or pre-rendered 3d?

 

[Samutz]

The graphics do look good, but the controls seem overly complicated.

I hated how almost everything on Mario Hoops was stylus controlled and required memorizing a ton of tap/slide combos. That's what this video reminds me of.

 

[Hadrian]

Even though I'd love to have a classic style one I think it'll be a good game, the developers wouldn't want to sully the game series reputation with a dud.

I disagree. Spider-man 3 is real easy to play with the stylus and I'll bet gaiden controls a lot better

S'pose we'll have to wait til gaiden is released/leaked to find out, though

Video! Look here:

This looks very promising. I really hope they do this game right. I haven't ever beaten a Ninja Gaiden, since I never played the MS or Sony console versions, and the NES versions are amazingly hard.

It's good to see a developer using the DS in unique ways, hopefully the touch screen interface feels good. I'm intrigued by their choice to go with the Book style positioning. Seems to make sense based on the camera angle positioning (more helpful to see ahead of you than on either side of you).

Fall of this year! Sweet. What a great lineup for this next fall/winter for Nintendo.
