Something I kinda hope is that they add a masked option for Momijis White ninja outfit

As exciting as this news is, I would've given it extra points if they had just given Ayane succubus attire.

But biker hot pants is good.

I've been playing the hell outta the WiiU version (friends') so I'm glad this finally got announced.

Also I tweeted they should add LAN multiplayer. Too many games I would have bought ignore that feature *cough* Anarchy Reigns.

For people who have played RE, has the AI been tweaked from vanilla? I've heard mixed responses regarding the AI for the WiiU version.

I'm going to say upfront that I only played on Normal when I played the game, as opposed to having played vanilla NG3 through to completion on everything up through and including Master Ninja. That having been said, I did NOT notice the enemies being more aggressive than they were before. I don't exactly sit still, though, so maybe they just didn't have a chance. Normal difficulty you can just steamroll if you're a franchise veteran.

Cool thanks. I'll be getting this mostly for the missions and whatnot since I heard so many great things about the actual story mode.

Overall the A.I. is smarter it could and probably will get tweaked (cuz during ninja trials boss character would be dumbfounded at times), the new karma system lets you buy and upgrade everything at your will. Some people might prefer the "old way" but overall the game is A LOT more action/arcade coin-oppy, also with dismemberment they come after you like in NG2 plus chaining steel on bone with obliterations . . . :

I will admit I liked the ability to purchase abilities and such. That was an improvement. That being said, some of the abilities you have to purchase should have been available from the get-go lol. I'll be picking this up, despite my misgivings about having to pay for the version of the game we should have gotten initially. I realize that a lot of this has to do with back-door politics and money, and I'm not going to fault either Team NINJA directly or Tecmo Koei. It is what it is and I love the Ninja Gaiden franchise too much to not give it another shot.

Having never played the vanilla version, some of the aspects of the game did seem appealing like a few of the bosses and environments. Kasumi seems pretty fun as well. I wonder what they'll "add" to the inevitable Ninja Gaiden Sigma 3+/Razor's Edge+.. Hayate maybe?

There may be further DLC support for this version of RE. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Hayate, but my worry is that Ryu uses his sword and movelists in the NG universe are dependent on the weapon, not so much the character. Hayate would likely not be too much different than Hayabusa. Still, if it was pretty cheap (or better yet, free) I wouldn't complain about just having Hayate in the game as a model swap.

Actually, I notice a lot of similar moves from Ryu in both his unarmed and sword fighting styles. For example, his DOA 8T, 214P, 6PK, H+KKK, 1H (low K hold), shoho izuna, 236P, etc. have all had variations appear in NG. I could See Hayate using some modified versions of his moves from DOA with a sword.
That said, I doubt he'll ever appear in Ninja Gaiden. It's the harem complex, where Ryu can be the only good guy. Similar things have happened in James Bond games, where MI6 players consist of Bond and a bunch of chicks whereas the villains can be anyone.

Yeah.. if Hayate's gonna be a palette swap for Hayabusa, they should just leave him out.

Slightly off-topic, but was anyone's interest piqued at all by that Yaiba tease a few months back?

Honestly? No. They didn't show enough of anything to get excited, not to mention lack of platform confirmation.

I read somewhere that the game was being developed for current-gen consoles.. most likely PS360. Interesting concept nonetheless.. ninjas and zombies, but I don't know how I feel about the cel-shade art style.

A zombie ninja that is killed by Busa and comes back to get revenge? The game will end with Hayabusa killing you again, but I'm on board with the idea. I think it's a missed opportunity to not go for next gen consoles as well as current, though.
