Yeah, that made me sad. Even though it doesn't fit with the NES Ninja Gaiden at all, and even though it's all kind of pointless to consider, it still makes me sad!
As for NG3...I'm not sure. I liked NG2 as a refinement and expansion of NG Black, but it was still an exploitation of the Flying Swallow technique at its core. NG3 doesn't
seem to go anywhere really new, other than adding some grit and tossing in some pretty unconvincing gimmicks (wall climbing, cowering enemies, more QTE-ish combat). It's not looking especially enticing to me, but I'll have to check it out for myself.
