I recently noticed the Shinobi 3DS is not being developed internally unfortuntely, Its been developed by westen Studio Based in Washington... double unfortuante.

So I decided to do some research into the companies track record.. I dont want no nobody fuckin around with my Shinobi but it turns out that they been around for awhile just under different guises

but something else caught my atention.

They have developed alot games, but they all have something in common( I ll let you take a crack at guessing)

....

.....

....

They are all portable versions of Console games!

Griptonite is contract company thats tasked with takings a console game desigh and reworking it for a handhelds

with this being said... Could SEGA be preparing to announce a new Console Shinobi?

or am I lookin to deep into this?

guess not....lol

Interesting observation, it's certainly possible when you put it that way

Though I wouldn't get my hopes up too high if I were you

Well its not like im drooling over a console version or anything.

Im quite satisfied with a 3DS game and just Shinobi being back period.. just something i happended to notice during my research of why SEGA would let these guys work on a legend like Shinobi.

Reminds me of when I found out OoT 3DS and Grezzo

after seeing their previous work, my hype for Shinobi 3D decreased...
