The latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly reveals that Tecmo's Team Ninja is indeed planning a sequel to the difficult, yet immensely satisfying action game, Ninja Gaiden. In the magazine's "Afterthoughts" section, EGM sits down with Team Ninja's main man Tomonobu Itagaki.
Itagaki-san delves into all things Ninja Gaiden, most notably that a sequel is being planned. "Yes, I am planning a sequel. But first, I'm implementing some of the requests from the fans into the game program of the Master Ninja Tournament." That tourney, by the way, gets started on May 12, with registration opening today May 3.
Interestingly, when questioned about Ninja Gaiden's high difficulty level, Itagaki commented, "I don't care what other games are doing. I personally directed the A.I. programming, so it's difficulty is a reflection of my own sense and taste." Yes, this man is most definitely hardcore.
Lastly, Tomonobu Itagaki has been a quite vocal supporter of the Xbox platform ever since it launched. When EGM asked if the PlayStation 2 could handle Ninja Gaiden, Itagaki grinned and replied, "Why even ask a question that you know will disappoint PS2 fanboys?"
Perhaps the upcoming E3 will shed some actual gameplay details on Ninja Gaiden 2.
