Will
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword be
the most awkward franchise sequel ever or will I have to eat my words with poison darts and Cocoa Puffs? I doubt it -- this new video suggests that the gameplay is the equivalent of eating chicken broth with a salad fork. Now that I see it in action, I also think that there's just something inately emasculating about controlling Ryu with a stylus. I don't think I want to put that much fussing into stealth ninja asskicking; he looks like he's painting messy rainbows in his
Pokemon sketchbook.
Ninja Gayden, anyone?
[On sidenote, Ninja Gaiden II for the NES needs to get on the Virtual Console like ... right now. It is easily the best game in the series, fancypants versions included. My dusty old balls have spoken. All rise.]
Thanks Kayka!

I mean, the thing wasn't already awkward enough to hold and use the stylus at the same time so they decided to up the ante?
Yeesh, and I'm sick of these "second screen is a map!" games. If you're not using the screen for anything productive, just turn it off and save half my battery charge.
I was hoping for mostly button mashing and maybe special missions with the stylus. We'll see - no use in speculatin' hatin'.
