Sega has announced that Shinobi is indeed in development for the Nintendo 3DS by Griptonite Games. The game will return to the series’ side-scrolling roots, feature StreetPass support, achievements and challenges, and feature a new story starring Jiro Musashi (leader of the Oboro clan and father of Joe Musashi) who can use magic, sword and shuriken attacks in deadly combos.
For years the fans have been asking for a new Shinobi, said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing of Sega West. With Shinobi on Nintendo 3DS we re able to answer their prayers and bring this legendary series to the next level.
Shinobi will release on 3DS in September 2011.
