Team Ninja Talks Ninja Gaiden 3; PS Move Support But No Kinect

Famitsu.com has posted an interview with Team Ninja conducted earlier at the Tokyo Game Show. They talked to Team Ninja boss Yousuke Hayashi about Ninja Gaiden 3

Hayashi mentioned Ninja Gaiden 3 will be due out sometime in Spring 2012. He said the game will have PlayStation Move support to give player the feeling that they really are Ryu Hayabusa swinging around a katana sword.

He said Ninja Gaiden 3 doesn’t have Kinect support as it was too difficult to implement without the use of a controller on hand. Team Ninja felt the game needed a controller (like the Move) to have that “feeling of swinging a katana”.

It’s funny how Team Ninja feels this way. Some gamers wanted the Kinect Star Wars game to be on the PS3 to have the feeling of “swinging a lightsaber”.

Ninja Gaiden 3 is due out Spring 2012 for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

  1. can i call *cough cough* bs on this.

    just because something that has the weight of a toilet paper tube dont make it “feel” like a katana. they can just admit they were just to lazy to put it in. they couldve add a plastic handle in the box if they were worrying about that. obviously move is good for one thing and thats controlling anything with a handle. yada yada shooting games. is it just me but nintendo duck hunt was better at that?

    how about them feeling like theyre jumping, climbing, grabbing, throwing, etc…

    oh well

  2. don’t be stupid man

    Kinect is a waste of a time! Microsoft did not think twice that using a No controller with a game is retarded!

    you can’t even play FPS with Kinect, therefore= Kinect is instant fail.

    the only good thing you can do with kinect is mods on pc….what eles:/

  3. sounds like LAZYNESS TO ME like the makers of the game can put it in kinect if they wanted to butthis is an excuess:He said Ninja Gaiden 3 doesn’t have Kinect support as it was too difficult to implement without the use of a controller on hand. Team Ninja felt the game needed a controller (like the Move) to have that “feeling of swinging a katana”. MORE LIKE WE NOT GOING TO GIVE NINJA GAIDEN 3 KINECT SUPPORT BECAUSE WERE FUCKING LAZY!!!! i hope the japan devlopers see my message you here ME YOR TEAM IS LAZY.and iam not buying your LAME BS EXCUESS!!!!!

  4. xino theres where youre wrong. you know how many hacks out there with people creating fps with kinect. yes its weird doing the pew pew thing. however were not talking fp(shooter) were talking about swinging a katana. also just to throw it in. rise of nightmare while kinda clumsy is free roaming. add that ghost recon gunsmith demo control and bam=fps. anyway i have a move and its actually lame. for ping pong, tennis, sword games i love it. think about this, other than swinging the katana what do you do with move nothing, shoot the stars (wth is this lucky charms).

    kinect = get your lazy ass in the studio and think outside the box.

  5. Lol the kinect sucks anyway. Pretending your arm is a sword is just plain STUPID!!! xino is obviously the smartest out of all of you.
