Ninja Gaiden 3 confirmed for 2012, first teaser video hits

Tecmo Koei's just released a teaser trailer for Ninja Gaiden 3 ahead of a further update in June.

The launch of the video is to celebrate the kick-off of GDC week.

The video shows Ryu thrusting his sword into an enemy a couple of times, by the looks of it. He's set to take off his mask, but is cut off by the end of the teaser.

It then says at the end "Unmask: E3 2011." Those who attend the LA shindig will get its first chance to go hands-on with the game.

The info box for the video on YouTube also confirms a 2012 release for the game, first announced at Tokyo Game Show.
