Thankfully, Dragon Sword -- Team Ninja's inaugural handheld Ninja Gaiden adventure -- dares to radically rethink the series' renowned gameplay in order to create a stunningly new, only-on-DS experience.
Although Gaiden veterans will feel some serious déjà vu scampering through the largely recycled (albeit now more often two-dimensional) environments, Dragon Sword is not intended to be a remake. Instead, it's an epic fetch quest bridging the gap between the first legendary outing and its soon-to-be-released, limb-lopping 360 sequel. Along the way, you'll uncover the true nature of Ryu's Dragon Sword and amass a bevy of mystical Dragonstones...but the only truly meaty reveal comes in the form of Momiji, Ryu's nubile female sparring partner. You actually get to control this buxom ninja during the game's opening stage, and mastering her streamlined arsenal allows you to segue nicely into Ryu's whirling, combo-heavy ninjutsu insanity".
We recently featured an article about five unannounced 3DS games that we would like to see Nintendo reveal in 2012. Following up on that idea, here are six games that would fit well on the 3DS in 2012, each coming from a third-party developer that has already pledged support for the handheld. Let the speculation begin on GameRabies!
I would like something from Platinum games...maybe God Hand 2 3D or just God hand 3D :)
then new No more heroes 3DS
new Sin & Punishment 3DS
new Madworld 3DS
new Silent Hill 3DS
Kororinpa 3DS & Bomberman 3DS & Omega 5 (damn you Konami, for now)..
Based on his appearance in Ninja Gaiden 2, the deluxe action figure joins the new ‘Best of Player Select’ videogame figure assortment. The series features some of the most Electronic Theatre Imagepopular figures from the ‘Player Select’ series, repackaged and offered at a reduced price. Many of the original releases were never made available in the UK previously, and the Ryu Hayabusa deluxe action figure was one of those that gamers may have missed out on.
Gaming Gauge writes:"So we recently got a look at how DS games function on the 3DS. As you can see the games are upscaled to fill the screen rather than mapped 1:1(although the option may be there). The downside to this method is that the games lose a bit a clarity, they can appear a bit blurry and fuzzy. I thought it would be interesting to make some mock up screenshots to compare how different styles are affected by the upscaling."
3DS cant even run ds games without fuzziness while the mighty NGP can run PS3 games
Good score and only one week away ^^
I'm playing it now, it is NICE!!!
But if you've got a Wii, you should also be able to download the demo.
I was playing the demo when I realized it was coming out today. I ran my ass right over there and picked one up (^o^)
