This is a completely new open world title set at the end of the Edo period in Japan.

In this article, we interview Koei Tecmo Games' producer Yosuke Hayashi and development producer and director Fumihiko Yasuda. We asked him in detail how the development of this work began, and what kind of story and game it is."
I know I'm probably the minority on this but I don't really care for many team ninja games. I can't think of one I actually really enjoyed. Ninja gaiden I liked but coulda did without, probably more a nostalgia thing on that.
Just please don't dumb the 360 version down like the ps3 version for part 2. Keep the hardcore challenge aspect to it. Making the ps3 version of NG2 easier and replacing the blood with purple mist is possibly the dumbest move ever.
...Reminds me of the days when Mortal Kombat released on Genesis & Nintendo, & Genesis was known as the "grown up" system, retaining the blood & gore,
While Nintendo got that gray stuff that sprayed out, which was later confirmed to be "sweat",
Lol.
I want see more blood this around Team Ninja for the PS3 version cause without it its not realistic enough to be called a Ninja Gaiden game, I wish Tomonobu Itagaki was there he would have gotten it right the first time with a lot blood/gore and bloodier dismemberment executions.
I swear if you fuck this up Team Ninja. I will lose all respect for you!
I hope the game supports playstation move...ninja air slice for the win!
