Do you know if it will have any tie-in with the games?

Shinobi on ps2 is a brilliant game, has anyone played it? The mega-drive version was great 2!

Aparently it`s not based on any of the games but it is based on the Japanese comics and Manga movies.

Plot outline for the Movie and the Comics. I`ll spoil warnign them just incase:D

SPOILER:
Two ninja clans, the Iga and Kouga have a peace treaty between them until the current shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu decides to pit them against each other to decide which of his sons will become the new shogun. With each clan representing one of the sons and both groups given a scroll with the name of which ninjas that they have to kill in order to win, the war between them starts. Unaware of the fighting between the groups a pair of lovers, Gennosuke grandson of the Kouga leader and Oboro granddaughter of the Iga leader go on about their lives. when they find out about the war they must decide if they should stick together and resist the fighting between the two groups or join in the fighting between the groups as they watch their clan members die around them.

That sounds cool! Live action or anime?

I think anime or CG would be quite cool, however live action does have it`s advantages too. What do you think?

it`s live action, with ott house of flying daggers type effects (done quite well from what i previewed) trailer here :) http://www.apple.com/jp/quicktime/trailers/shochiku/shinobi/
