Ninja Gaiden 3 will be more accessible

Fans of Ninja Gaiden has always loved his tough challenge level, but according to Team Ninja's next installment of the series, the first without Tomonobu Itagaki at the helm, will be more accessible than ever before. "With Ninja Gaiden 3 we want to achieve two objectives: to develop the best 3D action movement and focus on the protagonist, Ryu Hayabusa," said the new boss of Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi.

"We want to provide exciting gaming sessions, but that should not depend solely on the difficulty. In the previous games played and people are excited, but it was something like wanting to throw the controller at the TV," said Hayashi. "At that time we focused on that aspect of the game, some were a bit 'too demanding.

This time we will try to make something as good and exciting, but with a different balance." "This does not mean that Ninja Gaiden 3 will be easy," assures Hayashi. "They simply allow a greater number of people to approach the game and finish it."
