Extended Gameplay Footage Of Ninja Gaiden III.
With the second sequel of the next generation Ninja Gaiden series being released in early 2012, check out this awesome and brutal extended gameplay footage taken from the Tokyo GameShow event of the Dragon Ninja himself, Ryu Hayabusa, in action.
Ninja Gaiden 3 will yet again feature Ryu Hayabusa as the main character. Although his black leather outfit from the the previous two installments will make another appearance, Ryu has been seen with a new metallic blue suit in recent screenshots. It has a few visible differences as well. His toes are now covered with metal, presumably used for his new Kunai Climb. Furthermore, Ryu's right arm was cursed in Ninja Gaiden II. This will play an integral role in the game's story, and due to this, he no longer wears his right gauntlet.
In the E3 2011 gameplay demo, it is revealed that Ryu gets a request from the Japanese Self-Defense Force, the Ministry of External Affairs. He is sent to London where he fights unidentified terrorists. A mysterious hooded opponent appears at the end of the trailer, telling Ryu to "open [his] eyes".
