Ninja Gaiden Comes To... DS

NINJA RAPIn the most recent issue of Famitsu, Tecmo and Team Ninja reveal that their upcoming unannounced Nintendo DS title is, unsurprisingly, a Ninja Gaiden spin-off.

Series director Tomonobu Itagaki has gone the way of Dragon Quest IX bringing Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword to the ultra-popular dual screen handheld. Sporting a top-down look, Ninja Gaiden DS is probably what Itagaki was referring to when he hinted at a game "like no other type of game I have ever made."

The game looks to be played in portrait mode, similar to Brain Age, and will be primarily controlled with the stylus, not unlike The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

Scans from the mag are available over at NeoGAF which show plenty of promise. This should be interesting to say the least.
