A Shinobi sequel?

[Sqoon]

<img align="right" src="http://www.the-nextlevel.com/news/0303/owslogo.gif">Gamerfeed claims that a sequel to Shinobi is in development, and though details are skim, Overworks is allegedly doing a large retooling of the gameplay that was present in their PS2 commercial hit.

New abilites for the next Shinobi may include the ancient art of anti-repetitiveness.

Oh my, you are a smart little updater, you!

I found Shinobi boring, repetitive and lacking and I hope the next one fails miserably. Not because I dislike it (although that I do) but simply because I dislike everything.

I don't understand what the complaints about repirition were. What did you want? Have shinobi trek accorss 5 rooms with nothing in them to get to a thing that says "There is a puzzle here. Solve Puzzle? (Yes/No) and then walk back accross 5 rooms and start fighting again, like Devil May Cry? How's this. Every 5 minutes, pause the game, and hit your balls with a hammer. Now Shinobi is like Devil May Cry. Problem solved.

I like how Shinobi played, it was pretty original and rather fun. It should be interesting to see what the new one will play like. Maybe they got a lot of flack from people for it not playing like the 16-Bit Shinobi games.

I hope not. I breathed a huge sigh of releif when I realized they weren't trying to bring the old shinobi gameplay into 3D. To me, that's like 3D bubble bobble. It just doesn't make sense, it's a bad idea.

No, because Devil May Cry is set in a gothic castle and its outskirts, and Shinobi is set in everydrabmuddylevellooksexactlythesame land. Devil May Cry has a better lead character and a lot more weapons. And Hotsuma never requests that his dark soul be filled with light.
