Famitsu secured the exclusive on Tecmo's upcoming Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword for the Nintendo DS. Remember that? New, clean shots of the game's familliar protagonist Ryu Hayabusa and demonic bad guys are now available online.
The portrait perspective action game doesn't stop the DS design cliche at its Dragon Sword moniker, mind you, it also takes advantage of the second screen in the most predictable way possible. Maps! In addition to standard stylus ninja control, it piles on the touchscreen schtick with Ninpo spells that must be drawn to execute. Sigh.
While it may seem like I'm ninja-dogging Itagaki and Team Ninja for their stock design decisions, it still looks pretty damn sexy. Shit. Damn sexy. Now they've got me doing it.
