Hope Ninja gaiden sells in america, but I expect it to. Looks like a pretty good game.

i truly believe action games are more suited to the big screen, GOW included. they just lose a lot of their charm on a 2 inch set. i think a lot of Japanese people agree with me(judging by the sales).

10 - He needs to make a psp game, period.
And make a Blu-ray game that gets over his close minded mentality to ninja gaiden gameplay. The endless possibilities for weapons, equipment, etc. He just talks smack about better franchises, and bakes the same cake everytime. I am not saying his games aren't good, it's just time for a new direction for the franchise.

The same button mashing gameplay you do on the 360? It's not different at all. The DS version I think is something fresh for once.

I thought it would have done better. Makes me wonder how Ninja Gaiden 2 is going to sell, I don't think it was that big in Japan to begin with.
