Because Itagaki, the man that basically made the series what it is today, is gone. A lot of Nina Giaden's hype always came from the big fans of the modern games (like me). However with all the dreadful changes they have made to this game it's pretty hard to get excited. As an example we have gone from having 8 unique, well balanced and fun weapons each with HUGE combo lists to master.... to one.
A lot of the core fans simply weren't interested in multiplayer especially when it seems to have come at such a ridiculously high cost to the singleplayer. Despite the singleplayer being HUGELY stripped of content the time estimate they gave was 8-10 hours, compared to 15 hours estimate for NG2. So getting a campaign with 2/3rds the length and 1/8th the weapon variety. With features like dismemberment etc removed.
Basically a lot of us feel it will end up being a good action game but a bad Ninja Gaiden game.
