In the eternal battle between ninjas and pirates, stealthy assassinations and quiet kills have always given ninja an edge against their debaucherous, scurvy-ridden opposition. Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword throws that advantage out the window, shattering the silent slinking of the assassin with percussive taps and slashes of the touchscreen. No stealth, then; just kills in this straightforward slide 'n' slash action game that possesses as many drawbacks as fresh ideas.
Playing as renowned ninja of the Dragon clan Ryu Hayabusa, the game sets you on a quest to protect the titular weapon from the ill-intended Spider clan and its army of demonic fiends. Preventing the Spider clan from enshrouding Japan in total darkness requires tracking down eight dragonstones that fuel the dragon sword with magical power. Only by imbuing Ryu's inherited blade with the essence of the stones can he wield enough strength to send the Spider clan and its fiends into oblivion.
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
decent score but he has a hard time jumping and blocking? Only one thing happens when you slide the stylus up and that's a jump. He has to flip the DS horizontal to hit a button to block better? I just don't see that one at all. When you hold the DS sideways what is your thumb right next too? That's right it's next to the shoulder button which makes you block.
