I just got a bit more excited for TGS. IGN reports that at the Tokyo Game Show next month Team Ninja will introduce three new action games. Many (myself included) have been wondering what was up with Team Ninja since Tomonobu Itagaki left a few months back and it seems we will find out in a little over a month. Tecmo president Yasuharu Kakihara said at a press conference today that three new action games targeting a worldwide audience from Team Ninja will be introduced at TGS. What those three games will be is unknown at the moment. Games like Dead or Alive 5 or Code Cronos who were in development before Itagaki left are good guesses (though these may or may not fall into the action category). I wouldn't mind seeing either of those (especially Code Cronos since it's a bit more of a mystery to me). Seeing a new DS game would be good too as I enjoyed Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword quite a bit. Since it would be a shame to not use the technology they built for the DS again, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the games was on DS. Plus, I couldn't imagine them having three games to show for consoles. I'd love to see what they could do with the PSP though that's a bit unlikely. It's also possible that a new IP not related to the DOA/NG universe is in the cards. I would imagine that Team Ninja would eventually have something unrelated to the Itagaki era, but it may be a bit soon for something like that though I wouldn't rule out some sort of CG teaser trailer. Anyway, this is just another reason to be excited about this year's TGS. I'll have more coverage of TGS leading up to and during the show in October.
