Ninja Gaiden 3 is not going to be asininely difficult like previous titles in the series

The game will include a 'Hero Mode', a less challenging iteration of the gameplay with auto dodges and blocks. But why was the option included into a series that's well known for its punishing difficulty? "We really wanted to flesh out the story this time around," director Fumihiko Yasuda told..

During the Tokyo Game Show last week, Tecmo Koei announced Dead Or Alive 5

The game was pitched as "fighting entertainment", a tag-line which prompted Joystiq to do some investigative work. Exactly what is fighting entertainment though? Studio head Yosuke Hayashi explained that early fighting games, like Street Fighter II, "had some of the most outrageous graphics, fun gameplay, and..

Pierce deeper within the man behind the mask

Team Ninja is definitely taking a new route with Ninja Gaiden III, and not only by implementing PlayStation Move controls. It seems that the new entry will take a deeper look into the series lead ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, starting with its chilling new trailer. Back when Tecmo Koei first announced the game,...

In addition to the trailer for the newly announced Dead Or Alive 5, Team Ninja's also released a piece of promotional concept art

And you were wondering where all the hot girls had got to, huh?</em>

It wouldn't be Ninja Gaiden without a bit of melodrama, and that's exactly what Tecmo Koei's brought to the fray with its TGS trailer for the upcoming Ninja Gaiden 3

The footage focuses on sweeping shots and forced melodrama, but it gets the job done. Catch it after the jump.

Remember Dead Or Alive? It's the fighting series that's never quite had the profile of Street Fighter, in spite of its curvy cast

Regardless of status, Tecmo Koei's eyeing a comeback for the series — having announced Dead Or Alive 5 as part of its Tokyo Game Show press conference. The game's coming to PlayStation 3 in 2012. It marks the first time the series has been on a PlayStation system since..

Tecmo Koei's shared the specifics of its Tokyo Game Show line-up

The publisher's booth is headlined by Ninja Gaiden 3 and a couple of Dynasty Warriors titles for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. We've included the full line-up after the jump. Dynasty Warriors 7 Xtreme Legends (PS3, video & demo) Ninja Gaiden 3 (PS3/X360, video & demo) Dynasty Warriors Next (PS Vita, video) Samurai..

You can do de-nasty in de past-y

Wherever there is a console, there is Dynasty Warriors. This has been a rock-solid gaming fact for years, and sure enough Tecmo Koei is preparing to unleash another instalment onto PS Vita. With a working title of Dynasty Warriors, the game will use Vita's touch screen and gyrometer for inputs alongside the...

You may recall Namco Bandai and Tecmo putting up an announcement countdown website earlier in the week

The website caused huge speculation about what the duo were about to announce, but Andriasang claims to have uncovered the secret. The website has scans confirming a PS3-exclusive Dynasty Warrior game based on the One Piece manga series. The game's officially called One Piece Kaizoku Musou. No..

We haven't posted a countdown teaser for a while

More's the pity. Thankfully, Namco Bandai and Tecmo Koei aren't giving up hope on the much overused video game announcement tool, teasing a joint venture that's due to be announced seven days from the time of writing (so, roughly September 5th). What could it be? We'll eat our head if its Tekken X Dead Or Alive.

Team Ninja has admitted that it is considering developing a PlayStation Vita title -- but only once Ninja Gaiden 3 is complete

"We've received a PlayStation Vita system and are thinking about it," Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi said in a recent PlayStation Q&A. "Having said that, right now we're focused on Ninja Gaiden 3 for PS3, and after that's complete we'll start to look at..

Prepare to do your very best samurai impression, as Team Ninja's just confirmed that Ninja Gaiden 3 will include full support for Sony's PlayStation Move motion controller

The inclusion marks the first time that the Ninja Gaiden series has experimented with motion controls. "We are really excited to announce this fantastic news at GamesCom," stated Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi. "Ninja..

Gotta keep putting those Dynasty Warriors titles on the shelves

While some fans are surprised to see Tecmo Koei announce a November 15th US release date for the poorly-spelled Dynasty Warriors 7 Xtreme Legends, we're totally not. The latest expansion's hottest feature is the Legends Mode, which allows players to revisit fondly remembered battles from previous entries in the series. In addition..

Sit back and enjoy

Champion Jockey will make use of PlayStation Move when it launches next month, but how? Let this video answer all your questions. Interestingly the video shows two Move controllers are used, one of the few games to do so, though we'd hope a single controller option is in there too. Even if it's not, this guy sells the double...

We've never really understood horse-riding video games, but now we understand them less

The above trailer for Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey & Gallop Racer with the PlayStation Move is not a parody. It's a genuine video released by publisher Tecmo Koei. You can tell the guy that's playing is having fun because he's constantly shaking his head and smiling to himself. It makes us want to play too..

Tutorial too

Champion Jockey will let you whip horses with PlayStation Move, but more than that, it'll let you design your very own jockey, making it the first Move game ever to let you play God and win a horse race at the same time. Tecmo Koei just sent over some new screenshots showing off the jockey customisation screens, where you can change...

It's Dynasty Warriors on the PlayStation Vita

Seriously though, while Koei might not yet have an official name for its PlayStation Vita spin-off of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, it's got a ton of assets. You can grab those over at VG247. The game makes use of the Vita's touchscreen, introducing a new "Godspeed musou" attack which requires you to tap on enemies to slice them up..

Not a big surprise this one

Seeing as there are about 814,523,567 other Dynasty Warriors titles available on other platforms, it makes sense to bring the series to PlayStation Vita. Tecmo Koei announced the game overnight, though it is still without a name. It will make use of the PlayStation Vita's rear and front touch-panels, as well as the device's gyro sensors. The game will also feature a..

The first thing you'll notice about this Ninja Gaiden 3 trailer is blood

There's lots and lots of blood. There are also chunky guitar riffs and people in fancy clothing. Catch the full trailer after the jump.
