Screenshots are up on the front page. Also: WUT. Why the hell did htey pick the PS2 Shinobi and Yakuza of the Dead?

Hotsuma is my favourite design, really cool Ninja. Even though Shinobi 3 is the best in the series.

Maybe the Yakuza team wanted a non-canon part of the series to crossover so as to not confuse things?

PS2 Shinobi seems to have a following in Japan.  There's a stage in Dengeki Bunko too.
Yakuza of the Dead, perhaps to give Kazuma and Majima interaction with Resident Evil and Devil May Cry characters and more "supernatural awareness".

Yea, much easier to have them fight zombies rather than street gangs as odd as that sounds for the Yakuza series in general...I'd still want Akiyama as an Assist unit.  I'm curious as to who else is coming back, I'm hoping a Valkryia Chronicles rep is kept in.

I'm just glad they are ignoring Donte.

But someone at Bandai Namco still made the joke:

I'm pretty sure they'll keep Valkyria Chronicles representation in...as a franchise. It would be hella weird if they just erased VC. IMO the question is whether or not they stick with VC3 or go with Welkin/Alicia. If they're keen on worldwide audiences ("A TRIBUTE TO GAMERS WORLDWIDE" or w/e the trailer said) they may just go with VC1.

Anyway, beyond that I hope to see

I'd hope the Western release of the first game impacts the selections for the cast this time out. Like, I'd love to see Beat and Gum or Ryo and Ren teams.

It's from a Shin Megumi Tensei Nocturn/Lucifer's call cover (I think it was in Europe-only, not sure if the NA box art had it):

Would anyone have preferred Yoshimitsu as the Namco ninja instead? Anyway, neat to see that the devs are taking the feedback on the gameplay from fans in mind while making this game.
