What?! Hard Corps: Uprising was f'ing incredible - this is coming from someone who played Contra NES practically at release.
HC:U was supposed to be a Contra Hard Corps prequel. But instead it was just another Contra game. Also, slow gameplay.

Some Shinobi 3DS screens for your ninja eyes to look at
A new bunch of Shinobi screenshots have dripped down from Gamescom and now we're posting them on the Internet, along with about 35,000 other blogs. Our images look better though, because of Destructoid Graphix. The screens show off all sorts of ninja fun, as our hero flips out and kills everything. Should be a good little game, especially with the focus it's put on being as old school as possible. Looking forward to it! Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)This is my killer 3ds game. Hopefully. Griptonite does decent work. They are good with action, so fingers crossed. Old school my ass. I expect the same level of execution as Hard Corps: Uprising. Which was not good. @Zepp
