I thought she'll be in a flashy pink suit like all kunoichi are supposed to be. I remember going to visit a ninja place near Kyoto and all that pink suits made my eyes hurt...

But they did change her outfit around. Now she looks like a female Hotsuma instead of dressing like someone who should be fighting rubber monsters on a children's action show. Too bad, I actually liked the slightly goofy look she first had.

I can't believe it!!!!!! Did nobody notice that the original and this new completely fucking badass new outfit are based on the original JOE MUSASHI???????

Or maybe this was covered in old posts. Anyway, I'm so happy with this new costume that I could scream. And I think I will. I knew my childhood fascination with ninja would pay off in the long run.

I could see how the old one was based on Joe Musashi, but not the new one. The new one seems like little more than a palette swap of Hotsuma or Moritsune. She has the Oboro mask, Hotsuma's leggings, Hotsuma's scarf, and Moritsune's netting. The only thing that looks like Joe Musashi is the white suit.

And personally, I liked the original costume a lot better than this one. It had some dignity and respect, rather than looking like Ninja Ho in Hotsuma's torn-up hand-me-downs. Even the original kunoichi's pink and pastel "I'm a stupid little girl, please kill me before I annoy the player some more" costume from Shinobi looked better than this.

The All Points Lead To Funtown design with the all of the suit's lines leading to the glowing red crotch armor was a nice touch, though. I guess they figured that doujin artists these days need an invitation?

A brief update:

Those crazy phuckers are carrying an article with more Kunoichi screens, as well as larger versions of the ones on the official site. One of them clearly shows that the dark energy gates that keep you from progressing are back, as well as the mid-air shuriken explosion, which apparently still does stun damage like Hotsuma's and Moritsune's shurikens did.

Her resemblance to Moritsune in the shuriken explosion picture, though... well, it's unfortunate. I really did prefer the old costume that looked more like Joe's.

Meh. After seeing the screens of the new Ninja Gaiden, this game looks very poor visually. Probably won't mind so much in motion if the gameplay is good. Shinobi was okay, but not worth buying for me.

That often happens when you look at an Xbox game and then at a PS2 game.

From what I hear from the development team, they're expanding the combat/tate system (notably a lot more techniques and revamped air combat system). Personally I loved Shinobi, and my only complaints seem to be being addressed.

And come on guys, that old costume looked cheesy as all get out. That's the kind of thing that would make a good unlockable... I have a feeling the majority of people would prefer the new design. And what's wrong with a little visual continuity? Nothing!
