After slicing the competition to ribbons on other consoles, Ryu Hayabusa brings his ninja skills to the Nintendo DS with Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. Players use the touch screen to control Ryu's actions, throwing shurikens at enemies and performing a series of slick moves. The visuals look spot-on, though players must get used to holding the DS sideways to get the full experience. The quirky gameplay should keep things interesting, relying more on movements than D-pad actions. Last but not least, what would a Team Ninja game be without extraordinary unlockables, such as a female ninja? Dragon Sword strikes with a vengeance later this year.
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
be great bc of Team Ninja's proven track record. I have to wonder if the stylus controls will be fun though.
I am looking forward to this game very much so. I think the controls will work out wonderfully. It's so cool that Team Ninja is working on a handheld game! All they usually do is work on the most powerfull platform, but I guess it's hard to pass up the touch screen and well the user base. So many good games coming out for handhelds as well as consoles. Man it's hard to up with it sometimes ^^
