DS - Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword - Ninja Gaiden creator to embark on new action franchise Speaking to press at a Ninja Gaiden 2 event being held in London today, Team Ninja's Tomonobu Itagaki has offered further insight into what he plans to do next.

"I love the action game genre, in particular I am very focussed on movement and the animation. One of the precepts I always have for my games is making sure that the animation of all the characters is as fluid and as cool looking as they can be," explained Itagaki. "I think that I'm going to continue to explore the action genre and do something that allows me to go in directions that I haven't been able to go with the Ninja Gaiden series, with an entirely new franchise."

DS - Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword - Team Ninja Reacts to Kanagawa Rampage It wasn't until Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi stepped off the plane from Japan earlier this week that he heard about the connection some in the Japanese media were trying to draw between his recently released Ninja Gaiden game and the rampage of a disenfranchised gamer at a shopping center near Tokyo.

"We were just talking about it. We didn't fly in until last night and I didn't know about it until I got off the plane," Hayashi said through a translator Wednesday afternoon. "They told me there is stuff going on in the media in Japan, there is a game that was involved and it just so happens it was Ninja Gaiden DS."

DS - Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword - Ask Itagaki Column Returns Ninja Gaiden and Team NINJA fans might remember the much-discussed 'Ask Itagaki' column that ran in now-defunct Ziff magazine Xbox Nation, in which Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki would field reader questions about romance, gambling, games, booze and more. Unfortunately, when XBN died, so too did the column. But 1UP has good news.

The Ask Itagaki column will soon resurface somewhere in the Ziff universe, sooner than you think. The only thing 1UP needs is fuel for the fire. Send your questions to 1UP, and they'll select the best ones to pass on to Itagaki himself.

In the case of this game, however, we can safely make a statement along those lines and mean every single word: There is no other DS game, action or otherwise, that can compare to the technical prowess of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.
