So I stumbled upon this on Kotaku and I'm going to post it here:

I for one support this; it's about time that the crazy Japanese cough*Capcom*cough understand that we in the "west" buy Japanese games cause they're Japanese and different.

Good.  Do what you do best, Japanese developers!

Team Ninja please Kojima-fy it!!!

Cut scenes and character development please!

Ninja Gaiden : The Other G!

j/k j/k...don't kill me Khuutra

Wait.

What wasn't Japanese about Ninja Gaiden already?

Edit: Actually I find this title misleading. The statement suggests they're keeping it Japanese, rather than making it moreso.

You're right, but with all these threads on Japanese devs making games more "Western" I thought I'd point out that this one particular dev is doing the opposite.  I was just poking fun at it.

As long as the gameplay is still tight and the challenge is satisfying like NG:B and NG2 I'm sold regardless of the story or what I'm slicing up. Ninja Gaiden series = best combat IMO.

I imagine Hayashi smirking at Inafune as he says this.

This isn't news he said making games using Japanese sense. How does this imply at all they wern't using Japanese sense in their other games.

But they always make it from a japanese sense... sometimes they make it from the sense of what a japanese person thinks a western game is though... >_>

That and Ninja Gaiden always appeals to the west more than the Japanese Audience Anyways I believe. First 3D one was awesome oh yes

PS3 exclusive confirmed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
