Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is an upcoming video game set to be released for the Nintendo DS featuring the Dragon Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa as the main protagonist. The game will be the first portable video game title in the series to be developed by Team Ninja. The game will be an Action-Adventure title presented in a 3rd person, pseudo-3d manner, meaning that all the game-models will be rendered in full 3D but the world the player travels around in will be pre-rendered. The camera will be set in an isometric viewpoint and it will pan, following the player while he/she is discovering more of the pre-rendered backgrounds. The ideal orientation of the Nintendo DS while playing the game will be holding it sideways, like in Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Brain Age. The left screen will show the area map while the right screen will show the main gameplay when set for right-handed play, and reverse when set for left-handed play. A playable demo of the game is downloadable from the DS Download Station volume 7.

Not much is known about the plot, the game will be covering the events that takes place six months after the events in the Xbox version of Ninja Gaiden and the player will be introduced to a new female character named Momiji.
