Kotaku made the surprising overview, which clearly shows results from the past offer no guarantee for the future. Why?

Ryu Hayabusa returns in this action-packed and totally unique game following Tecmo’s thrilling Ninja Gaiden series. The Team Ninja-developed title is a 3D action game that makes full use of the DS’s most standout feature: the stylus. The entire game can be controlled almost entirely with the touch-screen-based motions.

You guide Ryu about the play field by tapping in the direction you’d like to go. Slashing the touch pen from down to up makes Hayabusa launch an enemy into the air, into a perfect position for combos. You make Hayabusa jump by tapping the screen twice, and can then point to enemies to shoot shurikens at them and perform a downward thrust attack. Even your ninja arts make use of the stylus, requiring that you draw shapes in order to perform the special attacks. Buttons are used only for defensive moves.

Take a closer look as Team Ninja’s Tomonobu Itagaki demonstrates Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword on DS for the first time. You can watch the full conference at Famitsu.
