Kasumi the star of the new Ninja Gaiden?(Rumour)

"Among the various odds and ends crawling out of the Japanese rumor mill in this otherwise quiet Golden Week is talk of a new PlayStation 2 third-person action game from Tecmo, aside from the already-announced Rygar. Supposedly, it's based on a series from the arcades and Famicom, featuring a female character spotlighted in the Dead or Alive 3D fighting games, developed under the code name "kunoichi" (meaning "female ninja"), and ready to be displayed at the upcoming E3.
Those who can put two and two together should be similarly curious at the possibility of the long-hinted-at Ninja Gaiden game (or a related title) featuring a leading lady, rather than Ryu Hayabusa. Look forward to further updates on the subject as E3 approaches."


I hope thats not true since I hate that boring bitch.

Itagaki mentioned a game based on DOA characters in OXBM but I'm pretty sure it's a separate game from Ninja Gaiden.

I certainly hope so. If they make Kasumi the star of Ninja Gaiden I will hunt down Itagaki and kill him.

I second that. But hopefully that won't be the case, since Ryu's ending in DOA3 is suppose to be a prelude for the new Ninja Gaiden.

Hayate could be a worthy successor to Ryu, though the game might get MGS2-like backlash if Tecmo did it that way.

And dammit, they better NOT put that lame Kasumi in it. She's quickly become the Tecmo equivalent of SF2's Ryu.

Kasumi lame? I beg to differ. She's the hottest chick in the game (Tina's a close second). Though I agree that she shouldn't be in the new Ninja Gaiden game, IF it ever gets made...

You're only referrin to the looks man. I was callin out her personality, which is as interesting as a brick wall.

As for who's the hottest DOA chick, Hitomi whups all their asses :p

I find myself somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, that just isn't right. But on the other, Kasumi = Hot.

Of course, it probably isn't true, so not much sense pondering it one way or the other.

Personality? What's that? That have something to do with her, like, talking and stu-- Mmm... bouncy...

I want new side-scrolling Ninja Gaiden, but since I'm not going to get it, I suppose I'll just deal with what they offer. I do want some Hyabusa, though...

As much as I like Kasumi, I think I'll let the man himself talk... :D
