It's entirely stylus-driven, which sounds weird, but IGN seems to like the way it's implemented. The system is held "book style," with the touchscreen being the action screen, and the lefthand screen providing story and misc. illustrations/info. And since it's Team Ninja, you know the graphics are top notch:
I just soiled myself and ejaculated at the same time. I'm glad they chose to display the game sideways as I find it quite comfortable when using the stylus like that. I'm by no means a graphics whore but I cant help but be quite fussed about those pics. It's good shit.
At the least, I won't like it. Fast-paced action based games that are entirely stylus = Failure to me.
Pretty much sums my opinion up right there. My hands are just too big to try and use that touchscreen for much of anything other then to open a map or change a camera angle.
Nice to see a game that actually uses the DS hardware (as in power of course not touch screen).
If is anything like the first few Ninja Gaiden games its probably harder then hell.

Interesting...I always thought that term was considered a slur.
Really? Where did you hear that? It comes a baseball announcer and the orientation of a field he announced from, if memory serves.

It might help you a bit if you got a full pen-sized stylus. I've been meaning to buy one for quite a while. The only stylus-based game I've liked much thus far has been Touch! Kirby.

They traditionally tend to choose the system with the most powerful hardware, but in this case, they said they chose the DS over the PSP because they were absolutely hooked on the concept of touchscreen control.
People just keep making odd choices. Castlevania Rondo of Blood on PSP which would of fit on the DS more and now Ninja Gaiden on DS which would of fit on psp better.
