Nintendo World Store held a special launch event for Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword for the DS. (Check out what the critics thought here.) Development director Yosuke Hayashi was available to sign copies of the game, and a formidable pack of fans lined up to meet and greet the man. Afterwards, we had a one-on-one chat about the game, and what he's looking forward to next.

It's no secret that Team Ninja has a reputation for being outspoken and confident in their products. Hayashi is no different. At TGS, we grilled Tomonobou Itagaki about DS action games, and he admitted he played none. However, Hayashi's statement is far more bold: "Itagaki may have said that he's never played any action DS games. But I've played a lot, and none of them were good enough to remember. There's no comparison [to Ninja Gaiden], right?"

"There's a very good possibility," Hayashi said when asked about the possibility of DS follow-up to Dragon Sword. "We want to offer a completely different side of the Ninja Gaiden series in a handheld title. There are so many things I can see we can work around if we work on another project."

However, a DS sequel may not be the first thing on Hayashi's mind. He talked about how so many fans at the Nintendo World Store wanted a Ninja Gaiden game for the Wii. Without going into details, he simply noted that it was something he was "very interested" in working on.

Every developer and their pet rock says they're "interested" in the Wii... then turn around and get back to working on their 360/PS3 games.

Praise the Wii with the left hand, Develop for the PS3/360 with the right.

Well, we will see at this years E3 if they have or not anything in the works.

As soon as the Wii gets some decent 3rd party support that I'm interested in, I'll be first in line to buy one.

Can you imagine a Ninja Gaiden game on the Wii with motion controls? That would be awesome.

 Actually I don't know if it would.  Haven't played Ninja Gaiden Black for some time now but from what I remember the sword swiping was pretty fast.  Too fast to have it be controlled by you swinging the wiimote.  It would have to be button presses I think.

I hope something is created from his 'interest'.

While that is true games are usually revealed after 9-13 months of development. There could be big Wii games in development right now that we don't know of. I suggest we wait for E3 before we make any comments.


 And what happens when E3 passes if it doesn't see a lot of 3rd party titles?
