The people who played "Shinobi" and "Nightshade" on PS2? Or the people who actually played the old ones in the first place?
Love the old Shinobi games (I also like the one on PS2, but prefer the old ones). Can't choose a favorite between Shadow Dancer and Shinobi 3: Return of the Ninja Master... hope this does well, I'd def. buy a 3DS for it.
How "smooth" was the game play? And by that I mean, how well did the 3DS handle multiple enemies and magic all going on at the same time? Any stuttering or drops in frame rate?
Firstly, Jim, Congratulations. I've learned that you are physically and mentally capable to like one of the same games I like. Up until this point, I've always thought that you were a monster who hated everything except Deadly Premonitions.
Either way, thanks for this tidbit of information about Shinobi 3DS, I'm looking forward to playing it.
@JimmyX
Along with a number of people here, I remember Shinobi as well. You may need to take a trip backwards into the 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation of consoles. There are some gems back there.

Visually it just looks unappealing. I would have liked a highly detailed Shinobi with 2d sprites. It's too easy to take crap graphics and say they are "stylized." This is one of those games that probably could have done with one of those cell shaded filters that always seem cheap but in this case it would do wonders.
Honestly, the only side-scrolling Shinobi that I truly loved was Shadow Dancer. I'm still looking forward to this one though, and the heavy use of parrying sounds like my kind of game.
I so want this game.
The Shinobi game for PS2 (and Nightshade) was awesome, Jim. You probably just didn't "get" it because blah, blah, blah Dynasty Warriors, yadda, yadda, yadda 4.5, toucans and such. You know, REASONS.

@Klado Do you own a 3DS? why does it suck? so sick of the 3DS hate. Yes Vitas a beast,but somehow that negates the 3DS and all of its awesome games,and features.
@klado: That's nice boyo.
@jimmyx: I do. You should, too.
@Master Snake: They were pretty great, but I definitely didn't enjoy the art direction that much. The second one had VERY solid controls though.
I'll buy the hell out of this one. My ninja sense is warning me it may be a bit on the short side.
@TheGoToGamer: Dude, didn't you get the memo? Games are irrelevant. If you're carrying a brick sized powerhouse to show off there's no reason to have FUN and such.
Seriously though, I'm going to buy a Vita down the line, as soon as they release a smaller revision and the games aren't exactly the same as the ones available on the PS3. So far, there's too much good stuff being released on the 3DS to pass by. Those 300 bucks for the Vita could be well spent on a bunch of unmissable 3DS games, as far as my taste goes.

@springsteen, Glad someone else gets it. So much hate these days in an industry designed around fun. I'm Thoroughly enjoying all the great software right now why everyone cries there is no games, not to mention all the great software coming out this later this year alone.
I will also get a vita, but it really doesn't seem ideal as a portable unless you carry a purse(or bag of some sort). I also hope its less delicate than the PSP I am always afraid of breaking the thing. It may be old school but I love the clam shell never worry about screen scratches. I've noticed smudges and dirt really stand out in when in 3D mode. I fear a good scratch could be the death of the thing for me.
