Normaal gesproken zou ik me tijd niet verdoen met het posten van nieuws over de erg matige developer TECMO KOEI, maar omdat ze de nieuwe Ninja Gaiden titel maken (en ik hou me hart vast) is er voor één keer een uitzondering.

Ninja Gaiden 3 (PS3/X360, Early 2012)

Team NINJA's iconic ninja character, Ryu Hayabusa is set to be unmasked to the world with an all new story, new gameplay and new modes in NINJA GAIDEN 3. This latest installment in the wildly popular series will take players on an unforgettable journey with super ninja Hayabusa once more, but will get a look at the world through Hayabusa's torn eyes, and find out what drives him to fight, defend and kill. Under new leadership from Yosuke Hayabusa, Team NINJA will once again change the way fans think about ninjas - and Hayabusa himself - in this evolutionary game. Ninja Gaiden 3 promises a heightened feeling and experience during close combat fighting, and will also feature online multiplayer, both co-op and competitive, that will add a completely new experience to the NINJA GAIDEN series. Pick up the Dragon Sword once more, sharpen its blade and hone your skills. An adventure unlike any other awaits players...

Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey & Gallop Racer (PS3 Move, X360 Kinect, Wii, Q4 2011)

Monster Rancher (Smartphone, Android, 2012)

My Monster Rancher (working title) marks the first time the beloved monster breeding series will be available on the mobile platform. Filled with nostalgia from past games, fans of the series will recognize popular monsters such as Mocchi and Suezo, the big one-eyed monster, but there are plenty of additional monsters to discover in this new game. Players will be able to generate monsters in a number of ways on their own or with their friends. In My Monster Rancher, players will be challenged to use their best strategy to raise, train, and battle their monsters. Can you become a legendary master breeder?
