Team Ninja’s confirmed it will feature a Japanese option for Ninja Gaiden 3′s western release. When asked if it’d feature the option for menus, subs and voiceovers, the studio Twitter – typically manned by studio boss Yosuke Hayashi – confirmed: “Yes, you can choose it.”

Ryu’s latest comes out on March 23 in Europe for PS3 and 360.

Team Ninja has stated through the magic of Twitter that pre-orders for Ninja Gaiden 3 are a bit higher in Japan than what is normal for the series. Likely, this has something to do with folks getting a Dead or Alive 5 demo with their pre-order, and due to this, the firm has suggested everyone pre-order early to ensure they get the trial. The firm has also noted that if you press select when playing the game, you can open up a real-time move list, which changes depending on skill you’re using at the time. Ninja Gaiden 3 is out in March on PS3 and Xbox 360. Thanks, Andriasang.

Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi believes the Dead or Alive fanbase has grown past bouncing breasts and wants real female fighters.

“With developers taking stuff that they normally would have put on the disc and selling that for DLC later, we think that lowers the value of the actual disc, the players that are going to buy that disc. We don’t think that’s a good way to do things. But as for using DLC as a way to add more stuff and increase the longevity of the title, if we’re adding stuff later we think that will… Fans will enjoy that, we as developers will enjoy that, we’ll just have that much more time to spend with that game. That’s the approach that we would like to take.” – Team Ninja studio head Yosuke Hayashi to VentureBeat.
