Simply called "Shinobi", like a reboot, this new title by Griptonite Games is aiming for a September release window on the Nintendo 3DS.
The game seems to be pretty with past and recent episodes of the series.
Like it happens some times, you'll play as a brand new different ninja in this title.
This time, it isn't the classic Joe Musashi, nor the famous Hotsuma from the recent episodes. Instead it will start Joe's father, Jiro Musashi, chef of the Oboro clan.
The game will once again be an horizontal sidescroller, but in 3D. It kinda reminds me of Sonic Rivals visually.
The graphics don't look that polished, at least for now. Kinda Nintendo 64-ysh. (heresy!! talking about a classic Sega franchise!!)
Here's some screenshots now:
Jiro looks like a cross between Hotsuma and Joe :P
And glad to see the gameplay variations back! (on the horse nonetheless!)
And the actual trailer now:

I'm a huge fan of the series! (hey! I should show you that, gals and guys, with a picture :'3)
I'm fearing a low-cost cheap new episode so far... but hey, last time they did that it either resulted in the well-loved Game Gear titles (yay!) and a Game Boy Advance abomination (nay!).
Wait and see~
