What would you love to see appear in the game?

Personally, I'd love to see some characters from the PS2 games as unlockable characters. I'd be really happy to see another crazy boss like Godzilla, Batman, or Spider-Man (as seen in the previous games). A boss mode would be cool too, in which you play through each of the game's bosses one after another. So what would you like to see in the game? A Ryu Hayabusa cameo?

It's kind of sad to see this place so empty...

I don't have much to add either. I'm expecting Joe to be an unlockable character or make a major cameo. And I want to see more ridiculous bosses too (how are they going to top a train or Godzilla?).

I'd actually like the colour-coded ninja team from the Game Gear games to appear as a boss or at least a cameo. I really liked those two games even if they were spin-offs.

I think it partly has to do with how little there is to say about the game at this point in time... I've never played the Game Gear games. Were they good?

I'd say they were. I played them all the time when my Game Gear worked. They're pretty different to normal Shinobi though. It starts out kind of like Revenge of Shinobi minus shurikens (you only have a short range slash). It has this system where you get a new ninja when you finish a level and they all have their own ability and ninjitsu technique- so if you have the right ninja in the right level you can get to areas you can't normally reach and stuff like permanent health upgrades.

Oh yeah, it lets you choose which levels to play and when too- it's kind of Megaman style. And then in the last level you have to use all the ninjas' abilities. They could probably have done with faster movement but otherwise I think they're really good.

The second one was pretty much the first (same basic ideas and ninja abilities) but better though... the problem being that I prefer the music and graphics in the first one.

Here's a video of someone playing two levels from the second one if you're interested:

I kind of guessed that it was a lack of information too... I hope we'll see more about the game soon.

The character from the PS2 one. Not Hotsuma, but the girl, from the second one.

And about Ryu... (shudders) This might not end well.

Oh, Hibana? That would be pretty cool. I liked her.

Perhaps Hiruko, the villain from Shinobi for PS2 will also make an appearance. He was pretty old, so it certainly seems possible. I don't think I'd really want to see him though...

I want to see Neo Zeed in the game, 'cause fighting Neo Zeed in Shinobi III was fun.

Depending on when this game takes place, Hiruko is probably still sealed up. I don't think the Zeed formed until after the events of the first arcade shinobi, so we probably won't be seeing them specifically. But, some of its founders could make cameos as bosses or something if they are apart of the ninja clan attacking Jiro's village or something...
