>"We're not just focused on the high-speed, crazy battle stuff all the time. We really want to give players a lot of undulation in gameplay," Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi told me through a translator when I admitted I was a bit nervous about trying the game.

>In fact, Hayashi isn't particularly interested in raising the difficulty bar this time around.
>"We are aiming to be the number one 3D action game," he said.
>"If we can do that we are fine not focusing on difficulty level. We don’t care.
>"But to prevent misunderstanding, Ninja Gaiden fans will still really love it. That is our responsibility. We make sure the fans of the series are satisfied by our game.
