Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is a video game released for the Nintendo DS featuring the Dragon Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa as the main protagonist.[3] The game is the first portable video game title in the series to be developed by Team Ninja. This action-adventure title is presented in a 3rd person, pseudo-3D manner, meaning all the game-models are rendered in full 3D, but the world the player travels around in is pre-rendered. When played, the Nintendo DS is held sideways. The left screen shows the area map, while the right displays the main gameplay, when set for right-handed play, and reverse when set for left-handed play. Set six months after Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox and PlayStation 3, Ryu Hayabusa has rebuilt the Hayabusa Village. When fellow villager and kunoichi, Momiji, is kidnapped by the Black Spider Ninja Clan, he is forced to find her, while uncovering the secrets behind the mysterious Dark Dragonstones and their relation to the Dragon Lineage.

movie.diginfo.tv DigInfo News Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is the first game for the Nintendo DS developed by Techmo's famed Team Ninja and directed by Tomonobu Itagaki. The isometric 3rd person 3D graphical style, mixing true 3D sprites with pre-rendered backgrounds, meshes with a responsive and intuitive control system making this a truly unique action title. Unlike the traditional action adventure games input method, using buttons and the D-pad, with Dragon Sword you hold the DS vertically like a book, and use the stylus to jump, attack and do combos and special attacks, with the buttons only used for blocking and evading attacks. The vertical screen, with the left pane for a map and the right for action, makes the 3D environments feel more spacious, and allows for larger characters, such as this end of level boss, to be displayed without compromising the interactive and responsive gameplay or the graphical quality. Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword will be released in Japan this November.
