Get your sword stylus ready, Tecmo plans to release Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword this March in North America. The stylus slashing control sounds unusual, but it’s fairly intuitive. You tap enemies to throw shuriken and draw lines to emulate sword swings. I gave Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword a spin months ago a TGS and the [...]

I was going to post an embedded video here, but the longer cut of the Day of Ninja trailer is something you should see in full screen. It starts with Ryu attacking enemies by bouncing on walls and later he brutally battles a spider-like monster. For better or worse there is a lot of blood [...]

Since Halo 3 is out the door, Microsoft is beginning to push Lost Odyssey and Ninja Gaiden II in Japan. Outside above Softmap in Akihabara is an eye catching billboard ad with both games. Will an advertisement like this do anything? Maybe. It’s in the place where gamers shop in Tokyo, but it’s not nearly [...]

In awesome, but predictable news the ESRB has a rating up for Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom as a Wii game. This suggests we will be seeing Ninja Gaiden III on the North America virtual console shop relatively soon. Ryu gained a few new abilities in this, notably climbing on horizontal wires [...]

Team Ninja is indeed working on a sequel to Ninja Gaiden and it's coming out next year exclusively for the Xbox 360. The news is a little surprising since Team Ninja just released Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the Playstation 3. Perhaps an enhanced version will appear on Sony's turf in the future. Along with the [...]

  Thanks to Siliconera tipster Bemo we have a first look at the sequel to Ninja Gaiden and it is going to be for the Xbox 360. Team Ninja is handling the game, which is notably gorier than the first. It’s already been slapped with a CERO Z sticker for decapitations and buckets of the [...]

The Ninja Gaiden Sigma survival mode package and the MotorStorm Revenge Weekend pack are the highlights on the Playstation Store. If you want to test out your Ninja Gaiden skills prepare to shell out $2.99. The new MotorStorm track, Eliminator mode and extra vehicles are bundled together for $5.99. Alternatively, you can buy individual vehicles [...]

Temco seems amped about Ninja Gaiden Sigma. They just announced that their first Playstation 3 game shipped out 500,000 copies worldwide. Not bad news at all considering Ninja Gaiden Sigma has only been out for two months in Japan and around a month everywhere else. It’s even better news considering that Ninja Gaiden Sigma really [...]

Famitsu has a few new pictures of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword and this time they aren’t of the stylus-swinging action. Instead of using character portraits and text boxes like most Nintendo DS games, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword looks more like a living graphic novel. It’s a fitting idea since you hold the DS like a [...]

Tecmo announced the first expansion pack for Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a survival mode where you try to kill as many enemies as you can with limited health. The bonus content is not free; Tecmo has it priced for 315 yen ($3) in Japan. In September the second expansion pack comes out, which adds in [...]

Tecmo wasn’t around E3 to show off their wares, but I have some screenshots of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword to share with you. On top of Ninja Gaiden DS, Tecmo also has Rygar: The Battle of Argus for the Wii in the distant future and they plan to bring out the sequel to Super Swing [...]

Gamesniped who always has a multitude of interesting video game auctions found someone is selling one of three wooden swords signed by Itakagi, the creator of Ninja Gaiden. The custom sword was a prize in the Ninja Gaiden Master Tournament Tecmo and you had to be in the top three to earn it. Remember how [...]

At Eidos’ London Event they brought over a working build of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, which features Rachel as a playable character. CVG was at the event and demoing the new PS3 character was… uh… Rachel, more accurately a model paid to cosplay as her. Somehow they convinced the model to play as herself, but from [...]

Tecmo has Ninja Gaiden Sigma scheduled to come out in North America and Japan later this month. It’s a remake of Ninja Gaiden Black for the Xbox, which was a remake of Ninja Gaiden (so… it’s a remake of a remake?) with the Hurricane Packs distributed via Xbox Live. There are some new features to [...]
