Ninja Gaiden 3 teaser teases Ninja Gaiden 3

The latest trailer from Team Ninja starring Ryu Hayabusa has a good chance of being Ninja Gaiden 3

*Yes.

Apologies for that palindromic headline, but we’re all probably a little weary of preludes to teasers of announcements. Yet as far as prolonging the magic goes, this GDC trailer from Team NINJA, teasing the E3 2011 reveal of a game confirmed for 2012 is pretty damned good one:

We’ve previously reported on the existence of a Ninja Gaiden 3, although Tecmo’s press release coyly hints that the unnamed teaser above is nothing more than a “new look into the next installment in the legacy of one of the studio’s most iconic characters,” without confirming what it is specifically.

Above: The number THREE is heavily implied, as is the possibility of this being a Ninja Gaiden game. Figure it out, gumshoe!

At least they’re serious about taking things in a different direction. The press release also echoes previous sentiments from newly crowned Team NINJA head, Yosuke Hayashi, by stating said game will “introduce this franchise to a broader audience while at the same time retaining the legendary challenge that has drawn hardcore gamers.” More importantly, the teaser adds a little credit to the promise of an actual "reveal," as in, something you didn't already know about a certain character's identity. Hopefully, they'll confirm my suspicion that Ryu has been the Tecmo Bowl referee all along!

Above: This'll make sense if you watch, silly

Really, Chris? Ninja Gaiden 3? Foolish man, this is obviously Dead or Alive 5! ... (notices the lack of jiggle physics) They're... REBOOTING Dead or Alive? Right?

This was posted in the aforementioned link, but if they ease up on the difficulty at all. I will be pissed. What's so wrong with GIVING A LITTLE EFFORT? I do agree though, the cheapness and bullshit camera need to be toned down big time. On a separate note, I've always hoped they would remake the glorious NG1&2 from the NES with the addition of the amazing music into the 3D treatment it truly deserves!

Love this series even though I was a bit let down by the second installment. I played NG Black again a couple months ago and it was even harder than I remembered. I hope they make some tweaks to the gameplay and the camera... that would be nice.

I really hope they release this and sigma 3 at the same time, it is really annoying, specially if they try to "tone it down" like they did with two, and I also hope it is going to get even harder

Honestly, I was very confused. The press release dances around the game's existence, yet they've spoken openly numerous times about its development. But I guess we'll know more at E3!
