[Update: God damn it, SEGA! We have been asked to take this video down because apparently it's wrong or something. Because I am nice and honorable like Jesus Christ, I am complying. Apparently a better trailer is coming next week. It better shit gold!]
Here's the debut trailer for Shinobi 3DS, which has quite easily shot up to the top of my 3DS "DO WANT" list. The video pays tribute to the series, starting with 1987's debut title and ending with this nostalgic portable trip.
Fans of the series will note just how old school this thing looks. Despite the 3D models, the game definitely looks like its retro brethren, and that's no bad thing. I noticed some people have complained about the graphics, but they don't look bad to me -- just heavily stylized. They look better in motion than in screens, that's for damn sure.
So yeah, SEGA can go right ahead and insert this game into me.

I'm excite, but not too excite yet.
Insert this game into Jim, Eternal Death, and then me
Damn Son.. I LOVED the Game Gear shinobi, with the 4 different colored ninja's that all had separate abilities?
HOT SHIT.
HD remix that noise and I'd pay full pop!
Now Sega, how about getting WayForward to do another Streets of Rage?
This.
If Sega doesn't dare, Shinobi could always go with more hilariously terrible full motion video cut-scenes.
How else will you know that it's a next-gen Shinobi game?
THIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
BOOM......
God, if only...those games were so much fun.
