It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The Tecmo/Koei merger hasfinally resultedin the inevitable crossover betweenNinja GaidenandDynasty Warriors, with Ryu Hayabusa slated to appear as an unlockable character in the PS3 version ofDynasty Warriors: Strikeforce.
Tecmo will be returning the favor by allowing for unlockable Zhao Yun and Sun Shang Xiang costumes inNinja Gaiden Sigma 2. Currently, only the PS3 will be enjoying the crossover chicanery, with the Xbox 360 version ofStrikeforcegetting Nu Wa fromWarriors Orochi 2instead of Ryu. Who the Hell cares aboutthat?
Not quite the auspicious merging of intellectual properties that I’d imagined, but it’s something. Can’t wait to make Ryu kick Lu Bu’s arse.
