Team Ninja working on three new games

Team Ninja is working on three new titles, according to Tecmo's new president.

Speaking at a press conference in Japan, newly appointed Tecmo president Yasuharu Kakihara announced that the beleaguered publisher's star development team is working on three new games.

Sadly though, Kakihara declined to mention what these three games will be, or which platforms they're in development for.

Team Ninja has been linked with several new projects in recent times, although nothing has been formally announced.

I'd say those games are going to be for the Wii and DS judging by how much they are supporting both at this point.

[Fox01]

I agree. I'ld so love to play another DoA (DoA IV is 3 yrs old now and there's barly anyone online) on PS3 or 360 I don't care, just want one on the Next-Gen consoles pease!

[BrotherNick]

I support DOA for all consoles, I'm a perv!

[kesvalk]

ninja gaiden for Wii, i would love if they did it just like the old skool ones, or better a ninja gaiden 1 or 2 remake, that would be awesome...

[pp]

Yes three more xbox360 exclusives on the way

[OgTheClever]

It will be funny to see you PP your pants when proved wrong.

[DavidMacDougall]

All flops. Why should they make good games with retards like you on there side anyway

[juuken]

Don't hold your breath peepee.

[chrisnick]

since square is about to buy tecmo....odds are those games will make it on the 360.....sh!t, we might even see a gaiden port...which of course, like sigma, would be better than the original.

[Pain]

yea...Payed for with Office / Excel /Moron Money Exclusive bound by Legal Contracts are hard to get out of.
:(

@ DavidMacDougall

Flops?

Ninja Gaiden 2 a 8.2 out of 10 average reviewed (check Gamerankings).

So in your view, GT5P and Heavenly Sword are also flops then, right?

[juuken]

Mart, you were calling Heavenly Sword a flop. That's an 8.1 average. Ninja Gaiden 2 scored an 8.2 average.

Back in 2007, you bots would have screamed flop when these scores popped up for games on the PS3, claiming there will never be a AAA game for the PS3. Now you don't want to call those scores flops anymore because you're getting them for your games?

Oooh, that's right, Heavenly Sword, GT5P, and all the other games were on the PS3 so that means they're flops!

[Reibooi]

Hopefully one of them in DOA 5 as I would really like to see another DOA.

[juuken]

A new Ninja Gaiden?
Hopefully?

[Stryfeno2]

This will be a new Team Ninja team....Itagaki and half his entourage left. It will be intersting to see who is the head developer and what they are working on.

As for NG and DoA series, I hope they R.I.P. It wont be the same without the original team.

[cemelc]

Smells like Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is making its way to a real console, hopefully theyll fix the camara and if they do that were good to go

[juuken]

I sure hope so. My PS3 is thirsty for some ninja action. :D

[clintos59]

Dunno about anything else, but im sure the wii and DS will have alot to do about it. Hopefully we see something new.

[360Floppage]

Hopefully they're not floppages waiting to happen on the 360.

[InMyOpinion]

Ninja Gaiden: Sushi Master for the Wii?

[PS360WII]

Well hopefully under the new helm Team Ninja does do a few games for other consoles. Why not right?!

Oh and yes to a new DOA :) that needs to happen sooner than later

[kevnb]

Team Ninja isn't even the same team of devs now.

[Reibooi]

The fact that Team Ninja is largely new members now doesn't mean much. It could easily go both ways. The new ideas the new people bring could make the games better or worse. Either way they aren't gonna know until they try.

[BrotherNick]

Yes, we should not judge till we play their games. :)

[kevnb]

but this is like Team Kojima without Kojima. They shouldn't be doing any sequels to prior games, but I'm guessing they will...

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Except talent is hard to come by and there is a lot of expectations from an established franchise with a huge fanbase.

As far as I know though, Team Ninja is mostly intact and "only" missing the most important guy. So there is still a chance it could turn out well....

[N4g_null]

These guys have a lot to prove now. The old man is gone and some fresh blood get to stir those ninja games. They might as well make these games for the Wii so they can get better with the tools so when motion plus is out we can get a FP fighter in DOA! Or a FP ninja gaiden game! Hell they could make a retro ninja gaiden 2 sequel and I would be happy, just add running wall flips and I'm game.

If the camera thing is a problem then they should really look into do a 2d or god of war type ninja game.
