New Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword DS trailer shows off stylus-based attacks, new female character

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword on Nintendo DSAn extensive new trailer for Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword on DS shows off a ton of gameplay footage, storyline pieces, boss fights and goes in-depth on the game’s stylus-controlled fighting system! It even shows off how exactly you pull of Ryu Hayabusa’s many moves with the touch-screen.

Tomonobu Itagaki must be a happy man, because this DS game truly shows off the power of the system with graphics and effects that make it look extremely close to the Xbox original. The trailer even briefly shows the player using a new female character!

The action is fast and intense, the stylus controls are new and innovative, conquering a genre that we have yet to see on the DS (an action game of this magnitude that takes so much technique) and the graphics are beautiful. What more could you want? Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword has a release date of November 1st in the US.

Now behold the awesome (and quite long) new TGS Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword trailer!
