Ninja Gaiden 3? Possibly for Xbox360 & PS3?
Ninja Gaiden is Tomonobu Itagaki's action adventure game developed by Team Ninja was released for the Xbox in 2004, and followed up with Ninja Gaiden II for the Xbox 360 in 2008. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is a refined version of Ninja Gaiden II, which is expected to be released exclusively for the PS3. Now, word is spreading that the 3rd Ninja Gaiden is in the making, and a dual platform release seems to have a strong possibility.
With the departure of Tomonobu Itagaki, Team Ninja has a new leader in Yosuke Hayashi. In an interview with Kikizo, Hayashi said that Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 will only be for the PS3 and the new content introduced in Sigma 2 will not made available for Xbox 360 owners.
When asked about the truth behind comments from Itagaki, regarding the series being put to sleep with Ninja Gaiden II, Hayashi said, "Regardless of what Itagaki-san said before, in time, what the consumers, the gamers are looking for is going to be the next chapter, the future of an outstanding series. We feel that we are in a position of being able to make that call, and to provide pure entertainment that's going to be enjoyed by action gamers and our fans. That calling is already there, we feel it, and therefor we will continue to work towards a future for the series."
Hayashi had direct Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3 and directed and produced Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword for the Nintendo DSi. He also said that they would be in a better position delivering content for both console audiences and something about pushing themselves to the next level in the Interview.
