"Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi recently gained exposure with the announcement of his collaboration with Nintendo on the surprise title Metroid: Other M, first announced at June's E3 Expo. However, the team is working also on the latest installment in its own flagship series, Ninja Gaiden.
In addition to Other M, Hayashi is spearheading development on Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, due for the PlayStation 3 this fall. An enhanced version of Ninja Gaiden II, which showed up on the Xbox 360 last year, it adds online co-op play, enhanced enemy AI, and promises to smooth out the rough patches in that game -- called a disappointment by many fans of the series.
Here, Hayashi lays out Team Ninja's development philosophy for Gamasutra, expounding on what makes Ninja Gaiden what it is, and how he and his colleagues tackle the challenges of developing hardcore action games."
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 debuted in 2009; ahead of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's launch, it's time to look back at one of Tecmo Koei's best titles.
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.
been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
