The Director And Producer Of Ninja Gaiden 2004 Wants To See Ryu Hayabusa Join Smash Ultimate

Tomonobu Itagaki gave the concept two thumbs up and thinks it is a setting becoming for the ninja.

Followers of sneaky speedy Smash fighters like Sheik, this one’s for you. The requires Ninja Gaiden’s Ryu Hayabusa to hitch the battle are actually heating up.

Now, it’s unusual to assume that there was a time when the Super Smash Bros. collection was all about Nintendo characters. The mere thought of icons like Sonic the Hedgehog getting in on the motion would have been ludicrous not too way back.

We dwell in an entire new world now, although, and Sonic is not the one one, both. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has developed from a love letter to Nintendo followers to a love letter to players on the whole. From Strong Snake to Sephiroth, from Banjo and Kazooie to Minecraft’s beloved Steve, Final is house to quite a lot of characters no one ever realistically anticipated. Now, one other trade veteran has spoken out for a special gaming legend: Ryu Hayabusa.

In a current interview with Dexerto, Tomonobu Itagaki, the director and producer of Ninja Gaiden (2004) and Ninja Gaiden 2 (2008), in addition to Government Producer of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, was requested if he thought-about Ryu Hayabusa a match for the Smash collection. Giving the prospect an enthusiastic “two thumbs up,” he proclaimed:

“Tremendous Smash Bros is a highly regarded sport… I feel it’s a stage large enough for Ryu Hayabusa to play an lively function.”

The considered including Ryu is probably not a completely surprising thought. Over the course of the sport’s DLC releases, Sakurai has delivered followers some actual curve-ball picks. As all the time, although, it’s all however unattainable to fulfill players, and the requires particular characters proceed in earnest.

Geno’s look as a Mii Fighter Costume was a horrible blow to many followers, and there’s no signal of Crash Bandicoot’s presumed Smash debut (for now, at the very least). Earlier this month, former Halo composer Martin O’Donnell spoke of his desire to see Master Chief join Smash.

As with Martin O’Donnell and Grasp Chief, that is solely the vaguest of allusions, and Itagaki is a former member of the Ninja Gaiden crew. It doesn’t rely for very a lot in the long term. Nonetheless, high-profile assist for standard potential Smash combatants is rarely a nasty factor.
