Keiji Inafune's Yaiba will be Ninja Gaiden spin-off

LOL, 'Ninja Gaiden spin-off', not like we've never seen one of THOSE before...

This is not the full trailer, search youtube for it .  :-)

Also Ryu Hayabusa appears in the trailer .  :-)  I don't know what is going on but spinoffs sometimes are even better than the core games ( like Persona games in Shin Megami Tensei franchise ) .

NG3 is almost unplayable online, im just sick of Marbus glitches . The single player campaign is good on MN . :-)

Thanks  Jonathan

This could actually be pretty good. Sure, to this day I pretend Ninja Gaiden 3 does not exist (outside of The Ancient Ship of Doom for the nes). But that is one game. The original Ninja Gaiden was brilliant, and Sigma 2 was pretty great. Add the creator of Mega Man and you at least have a much better chance of it being really good than really bad. Mega Man X is one of my top ten games of all time. Brilliant in it's game design. And the man who had a hand in that games design is on board. As cynical as I am, I think I'll shelve my pessimism for now.

Really team ninja? Does every thing need zombies? What the F!@#? Ninja Gaiden 3 now this thank god your TRYING to fix NG3 with razors edge, which will probably also be a big piece of S!@# too. But if it happens to be a success make some FREE add-on content for the people who drounded thier paychecks on NG3 and finished felling that they just got F!@# up the a$$, sure the wii u a new shiney d!@# but that doesnt mean you should !@#$ the people who gave the same amout of money to your produck who praised your series from the beginning.

Second what kind of trailer was that? you gave us game play but you didnt, icouldnt see what the F!@# was going on. give us a few seconds of gameplay then do your thing.

with the crap that team ninja put together that was called Ninja Gaiden 3 they will never get my money again, they took everything that was good about 2 and took it out of 3.  Hell id go far enough to say is all they did was make combat fun, the story and everything else was a sick joke and ninja gaiden needs a new development team without any input from team ninja.  They should do to Ninja Gaiden 3 what they did with the ET game.  I am still baffled that they ruined NInja Gaiden, i wasntnot aware u could take a game as gruesome and fun like that and just dumb it down and destroy what made it special.  *rant over

"Yaiba, is tasked with killing Ninja Gaiden protagonist Ryu Hayabusa for reasons unknown". Well he shouldn't be too hard to find. Ryu doesn't have the first clue how to act like an actual Ninja so any townsperson should be able to point him out :P

Let the Arcade get this straight, the Megaman creator is building a Ninja Gaiden game!?!?! Tecmo-Koei really have fallen on hard times to ask for all of this help. I have to admit though this is good strategem. Perhaps Inafune's way might create something fresh.  He deserves all the credit in the world for creating our beloved blue mascot who Capcom butchered.

As if the Ninja Gaiden series doesn't already had a spinoff series of its own (Dead or Alive), why make a second one?

i will definitely be picking this game up. Still havent purchased NG3 yet which i will when it gets to 20 bucks.

They should just get Itagaki back.

there are certain games that i never buy day 1 anything from bethesda (duh) ninja gaiden. and almost any fighting game.

Why a spin off? why not just make it it's own game?????

Now I'm pretty much not interested......

oh look, another zombie game

I hope this game has a wide variety of zombies and how to kill them :P

I figure Ninja Gaiden 3 killed the series so of course it comes back as a zombie game.

Go Inafune, this is one project I will keep tabs on! :P

sound interesting

Wait, how did Keiji Inafune become involved with Ninja Gaiden?

im interested

against ryu hayabusa this dudes probably already dead back from hell for revenge he was probably one of the evil  pawns ryu sliced up without knowing it in Ninja Gaiden 3 whistle while you work. sorry yaiba it was just business nothing personal.

....... Eh?

for which console?

A spin-off could be just what this series needs.  I think they messed up the last game by trying to do things to it that were contrary to the feel of the gameplay and series generally.

At least here they won't have to contradict themselves while making the thing, if it sucks it sucks, but games that try starting fresh and cutting cords rarely *really* suck.

Hopefully Inafune's team will be able to ensure that this game doesn't turn out like NG3. I'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

Can we please kill off the zombie trend?  PLEASE?!  Just like MMOs, not every single franchise needs to have them!  D:<

But then again, ever since Itagaki was fired, Ninja Gaiden has been dying a cold, slow death.  NG3 was such an embarrassing letdown.

Excited till i heard Spark Unlimited is involved

how is this news live?

Looks interesting.

well this just turned into all kinds of horrible... :(

Spark Unlimited?  Oh gawd no.

Is NG a Japanese CoD now? NG 1 and 2 were the best in the series, yet they are continuing down the Activision/EA/Capcom route and will ruin it til Team Ninja run out of money or until they collaborate with Activision for a FPS Ninja Gaiden set in the future with zombies then have robotic limbs as well as aliens.

Either go back to formula, or give up. The Japanese industry is perceived to be "dying" because of crap like this and NG3. FYI, hunting down the main protagonist of the last game or so is a dumb move (Prototype and Prototype 2), of which makes the previous titles pointless or makes the new protagonist un-likeable (Prototype for both again, of which came from Activision).

I'm losing faith in many companies because of false practise, making it clear which ones truly care about making a GOOD GAME! As far as the Japanese industry is concerned, I'll be looking at Square Enix, Namco and Konami for future titles.

Ninja Gaiden 3 SUUCKSZ BALLZ

Nobody is permitted to touch master RYU!

Who the hell is this noob guy??

This game will be cool but Yu can tell its based on the artwork its not like NG black or NG2 Or NG3, demon ninja clan and its gonna be its own styles

I want a Ayane based game finally, she is the true G from NG black

Maybe with Yaiba we can finally get the Ninja Gaiden 3 that the franchise deserved
