They didn't make Ryu look like a heroin addict with a bad haircut

She has some cameo stuff in sigma 2, but thats about it. She doesn't show up in the original versions. 

Maybe so, but did you read the ruminations in the OP?

THey shouldn't be taken at face value, of course, but if one were to do so then this would look kind of dire.

I read it, and I think it has some potential. As long as they don't do some cliched "dark" Ryu or something. I mean, he does have the blood of fiends running through him. 

itagaki is the most overrated developer, i want you guys to tell me exactly what he did to make him "Legendary" like mentioned in the devil's third trailer, Ninja Gaiden ? , that was made by Tecmo long before he came in , Dead Or Alive ? a Virtua Fighter wannabe with boobie girls?

Based on Kasumis apprentice in NGS2 she will almost supernaturally be a character in NG3.

Ninja Gaiden existed before him, yes, but have you played any of the mainline console games in the past seven years? A cogent and solid argument could be made that they're the best beat-em-up action games in the industry. Having your name attached to projects like those does make you legendary, if only to a very specific niche.

You mean Ninja Gaiden 1 and........ ?

Well there's a lot to be said for the Hurricane Pack, since Intercept changed the balance of the entire game (I missed it in NGB). Ninja Gaiden Black was also expanded enough to be a real expansion instead of just a special edition. And Ninja Gaiden 2 of course was great.

When he pulls off the mask

There will be another mask beneath it!!!!! :P

But seriously I hope we don't see his face

But yeah hyped as hell :D one of my fave genre and franchises
