Quantcast



If anyone is going to squeeze every ounce of graphical power out of the Nintendo DS, it's going to be Team Ninja. Still, I'm amazed at how great Ninja Gaiden Dragon Swords is turning out. I mean, the last 3D game I played on the Nintendo DS was Hotel Dusk -- how can I not be surprised by this?

So the game looks great, we've established that. I'm still not sold on how the game will control, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. 

Thanks to Mark "Shuttle Pants" MacDonald (from GameVideos) for the heads up!

the game looks sexy, but the prerendered backgrounds are annoying

I am in awe. I can't wait for this one. Hope it doesn't get delayed.

Prerendered backgrounds suck.

It looks almost like it's actual motion capture of people on top of a 2D drawing, sort of like the early mortal kombats.

egh >_<

listening to his description of the controls made it sound extremely complicated, but the way the demonstrator was pulling off moves made it look easy. I'm interested in how the control is really going to turn out.

It would be so much better if the videos you guys posted were not in gamevideo.com's format. They don't work for me.

That's fuckin' awesome! I can't wait.

Now I just have to go and buy a NintendoDS. I'm about the only person on the planet who doesn't have one.

I thought the DS was already reaching its limits, but this video showed that I was wrong.

The control sounds a lot like the control for the new Spider-man 3 game that just came out, and it works really well for that game. So I have high hopes for this game as well.

Can you at least see the player on the page? If you can, you can click where the video would normally be to be taken to the actual website so you can download them or view them in either Windows Media Player or QuickTime.

Those controls seem needlessly complicated but the moves still look cool. Cautious optimism...

This looks awesome, especially the way you can stay in the air longer. But is it just a port or is it a new game?

that looks extremely fun, but more difficult than the guy demoing it makes it sound.

Hey that looks pretty good! Too bad, I already have too many DS games to finish. Looks like I'll sit this one out for now.

Looks awesome! I think I'll have to pick this one up when it comes out.

Gotta be a new game. I mean, it might as well be, since all the graphics would have to be rehashed anyway.

Tee hee, Dragon Sword. I love all the little DS game titles. It's just so kitchy, I can't decide whether to giggle or barf.
