uhh...alright.
the guitar was no more or less confusing than gametrailers giving that an adult warning...was it cause of the game's blood?
Overall, it was a confusing trailer with guitar going.

Everyone knows that one things ninjas like to do after flipping out and killing things is wailing on guitars.

Needs more Rachel.

I thought I had to verify my age for the T&A. I am very disappointed.

Game looks pretty, though.

Why oh why did they have to combine the trailer with that obnoxious guitar solo? Sure, Satoshi is a great guitar player, but personally I found the music just interfered with the action taking place on-screen.

Regardless, Sigma's looking pretty amazing.

I don't remember an enemy with guns?

The sublime connection between electric guitar and the ninja is explained here:

That guitar was so sloppy that it made the trailer look very bad, I don't care if the guy can play guitar in a dark place while wearing sunglasses and more rings than all the members of an underground black metal band all together. Anyway, I will buy this game but not the CE, there isn't just anything worth for me.

@DaAznSaN: yeah, that's what i was going for as well.

I liked the guitar. I feel like I've seen most of that gameplay before.

@OGHowie: The guys on the zeppelin all had guns, especially the boss of that level... and there were some interspersed through later levels.

worst guitarist ever!

That was lame. I don't even see why they restricted it as mature. I was epecting nudity, and now i'm disappointed. :(

"It also helps confirm my suspicions that continued employment at Tecmo requires one to always wear dark sunglasses, leather and/or leopard print."

You forgot sexually harrass women in the workplace.

That charge to double decapitation was AWESOME. Unfortunately, Ninja Gaiden is so stupid hard for me that I can never enjoy it.

This trailer reminded me of that 8.5 minutes of Mario death featured here earlier. Why is it that whoever is playing the games in these videos always sucks at it really bad. I expected to see Ryu kicking some major ass, but in every clip he had a sliver of health and I saw way too many animations of him getting hit by enemies. Looks great though! I just wish I hadn't beaten the game twice already and/or it didn't come out on the one system I am morally opposed to owning until they drop it to an acceptable price... Maybe in three years Itagaki!

P.S. Let's see some more Ninja Gaiden DS!!!

Anyone know if the original 3 Gaiden games will be on the disc. I doubt it though.

This doesn't look all that much better than playing Ninja Gaiden Black on my 360. Although dual katanas would be totally sweet.

@Random-J: you got anything to back that?

I only played Ninja Gaiden on xbox a little bit.
I am curious though, is that a different looking ninja?

Gaiden looked like he got some megaman powerups.

anyways how many of you are getting this game?

Holey crap!!

That is all....

that's badass, looks great. too bad it's essentially the same game i've bought and played through (ninja gaiden, ninja gaiden black) several times, though. itagaki had better be working on ninja gaiden 2 for the 360 now, dammit.

Only at Gamestop? What kinda crap is that?

Wow, it looks like the rest of the game after the horse-riding baddie near the beginning of the second level is completely awesome!

Shame I wasn't good enough to get past there :o.

Yeaaah, I didn't think i could be less interested in the "behind=the-scenes" DVD. But this video proved me wrong. There was also mention of "codes to unlock Ryu & Rachael missions" being included with the collector's edition. Does anyone know if those codes will work with the regular edition? We all know codes are easy enough to get. Assuming the game disc will be the same, i see no reason to shell out the extra 10.

What is the point of the age verification? That is some real air-tight security they have there, i hear that is can only be defeated by the best and the brightest.

I am so glad that I am over 18 and didn't have to worry about it.
