Team Ninja is not sure how make Ninja Gaiden appropriate for a portable system

Ninja Gaiden was announced for the 3DS a while ago, but nothing ever came of it. Luckily, the project is not dead, although it hasn’t been chugging along. Yosuke Hayashi, the head of Team Ninja explains that “we are discussing daily about the way to make a 3D action game such as Ninja Gaiden into something that would be appropriate for a portable game system. When we get this answer just right, we will show it to all of you so stay tuned.” That’s a delay I can get behind. I love the Ninja Gaiden series and will happily wait for an experience that’s tailor-made for a handheld.
