The Ninja Gaiden series is known for its hardcore action and intense difficulty, but after viewing the E3 trailer for Ninja Gaiden 3 it appears we need to add “extremely bloody” to the list. Ryu guts enemies with his signature katana and they spray blood in a ridiculous—yet awesome—fountain of gore. Ninja Gaiden 3 supports 8-player cooperative and competitive modes, which could easily translate into a must-play gaming experience. Sharpen your blades and prepare to get your ninja on when the game releases in early 2012.
