Team Ninja considering new Wii U games

In an interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, Yosuke Hayashi, director of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, revealed that Team Ninja is considering new titles for the Wii U. He did say that they have begun work on a new action game, but didn't provide any further information as to whether or not it is currently in development for Nintendo's console.

“We are working on an action game, and we are looking into other titles for Wii U.”

Hayashi also said that Team Ninja decided to work on an enhanced port of Ninja Gaiden 3 very early after hearing about the concept behind the Big N's new system.

“One of the reasons we decided to develop Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge was because we heard about the development concept of Wii U itself early on. I think that starting development early was what allowed us to create a game that fully takes advantage of the hardware specs and special features.”

In another interview, Hayashi addressed the question as to whether or not the Wii U is a "next-gen console," saying there's more to consider than processing power alone.

"If you’re basing this simply on processor speed, then it’s not next generation. If you’re basing this on Wii U being a new idea that challenges existing platforms, then it definitely is next generation. It is a console videogame platform that is now independent of the TV. Nobody has done that before."

"Players want new innovation that includes the environment in which you play and services you use, rather than just raw processor spec. Nintendo is at the forefront of that innovation. I’m looking forward to seeing what the other platforms come up with in the future."
