Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword

In Team Ninja's first entry into the portable game space, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword takes place six months after the events in Ninja Gaiden (Xbox - 2004).

Inspired by his daughter who desired to play one of her father's titles on her favorite platform, Itagaki set out to create the most accessible 3D-style action title for the Nintendo DS.

What had become one of Team Ninja's trademarks, became one of the negative points of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. Known for action titles with punishing difficulty, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword was criticized for being too easy but still maintained generally positive reviews.
