Here's the thing with Tecmo: it seems as if they want to embrace the competitor with the most powerful console in each generation. Last generation, we saw Tecmo focusing on the Xbox, so might it stand to reason that we see the developer turning their emphasis to the PlayStation 3 this time around?
Well, it certainly seems possible. The newest rumor circulating around the Internet (which, as far as we can tell, began in the NeoGAF forums) is that Tecmo is set to unveil a brand new project, and it's a PS3 exclusive. They plan to debut the title on March 24; we know this due to e-mails Tecmo sent to certain press members, asking them to attend an event at a PlayStation Store in San Francisco at 3 p.m. After the announcement, there should be a 30-minute Q&A session with the producer and director of this mystery game. Now, because this will all take place in a PlayStation Store, everyone is just assuming the title in question is a PS3 exclusive, and we're all starting to wonder…what the heck is it? They couldn't possibly be referring to Ninja Gaiden III ; it's a franchise that has gone multiplatform already (from Microsoft to Sony, actually). We're expecting an interesting IP of some kind, although we're not about to make any further predictions. You can bet we'll be paying close attention on the 24th of this month, though…
Yeah, we'll tell you as soon as we hear what it is. Tecmo is a talented developer who is capable of doing some amazing stuff, so this could turn out to be very good news for PS3 owners.
I'd like a Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 plz. kthxbai lol
I take a Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 game but if it's not I would like to see a new Fatal Frame game even tho the Wii has part four locked up for itself.
so this isnt Quantam Theory? Or are they doing two PS3 exclusives?
Quantum Theory is already confirmed by them so it could possibly be a new IP.
lol come to think of it, it'd be pretty funny if they just "announce" Quantum Theory there…. funny but sad.
I'm really hoping its some game we haven't heard about, either.
yeah, I doubt they are going to announce another PS3 exclusive. Two games at once for one system – I doubt it.
I think it may be the "western" announcement of the game – it had only been confirmed for Japan previously.
Hopefully it means some gameplay footage and a 2009 release date…
Could be the U.S. announcement for Quantum Theory.
I don't put all of my faith in Tecmo, they've lost the creator of Ninja Gaiden, while the last notable game from them was NG2.
*does victory dance, then realizes it's Tecmo…*
Hmmm we'll see.
HaHAHA exactly what i was thinking.
lol well we just have to wait and see maybe itll be good im lookin forward to it
umm i think its a little game called "Quantum Theory" anybody heard of it ?????
Hopefully it's a new IP, I personally want to see a next-gen Fatal Frame.
So do I. The Wii got a new one last year so hopefully we'll get an updated version of it. But would love to get a new entry.
fatal frame would be cool but i rather go for sumtin else
Man it sure is good to live in San Fran right now…

probable just some monster rancher game again. LoL.
I want a new Tecmo Bowl game. Better yet, put the classic on PSN!
The classic one was slightly updated and released on the DS. But I agree, I'd love to see it re-released again for everybody else.
If its another exclusive its going 2 be awsome,but does it have space 2 be released this year. I hope sony plan thier stuff properly or thier going 2 swamp the market. Well this might be a good idea if they r going to reduce the price of the PS3.
Hopefully its not anothe ninja gaiden II hope its something completely new and original.
That was confusing, looked like "not another Ninja Gaiden 2"
I never did like the Ninja Gaiden series. Even the original saga on the NES. I'd like to see them give us a new Fatal Frame, Dead or Alive, Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Wrestling, Kagero: Deception, hell I'd even go for a new Gallop Racer lol. Maybe they'll surprise us with something completely new.

I agree, Gaiden sucks.
Whatever it is I hope it isn't a pointless button smasher.
Agreed, My friend told me how awesome it was on the Xbox so I picked Sigma, I was disappointed when I finished it.

Maybe they are going to let Dead or Alive die and this will be a new Fighting Game. Hell the fighting genre is back with a vengeance.
Hey! Who thumbs downed the new fighting game idea? *Shakes fist in anger*
Wasn't me, I've only given a thumbs down like 2 times and both were for the Double I guy.
Don't worry Limited, i think somebody put the cronies on me again.
I just thumbs downed you, as i am a pessimist. 😉
Tecmo bowl Tecmo bowl Tecmo bowl
cmon cmon cmon cmon
In a way, I agree…in another, I despise the idea of a 3D Tecmo Bowl.
God no, no 3d tecmo bowl I want a 2d uber cheese HD tecmo bowl with 80 yard hail mary's and digital high fives.
Heck yes, Coverton!

i got ninja gaidan sigma, played it about 2 hours and im completely stuck and havent picked it up since. Hoping Tecmo will make something easier lol
I didn't think it was hard, more like boring button smashing. I've always liked Tenchu more so maybe I was just being biased.
Agreed. Tenchu ruled. At least the first two anyway.
Kagero would be cool…. erm… i mean, Volleyball girls!
Aren't they the same guys making 'Quantum Theory'- A third person shooter for the PS3 only?
The Ps3 portfolio keeps on getting bigger and better.
I hope its something new, I wish it was a rpg, I guess will keep dreaming.
man the hell with all of that lets just start a riot in front of their building and force them to make the type of game we want!!!!!!!LOL 🙂
Yeah, it'd be a third-person rpg about a fooball player who sees ghosts.
lol no not ghosts thats totally predictable it should be little farries that persuade him into tryin to turn into a baseball pro and wen wverything goes wrong zombies pop out an THEn we add the ghost lol 🙂
Oh wow, so yesterday PS3 got an exclusive JRPG…and now there are talks of another exclusive game made by Tecmo. This is getting interesting…
Poor MS,
Even if they throw down a 5 inch carpet of greenbacks, MS "ISN'T" able to weasel out a 6 month lease "exclusive" at Playstation's store.
this is out of topic but @bikersaint that is such an evil lookin dog..i dam sure wouldnt want it in my house lol
