Don't worry, these aren't just surfacing from the intarweb or malicious websites. Coming from Electronic Gaming Monthly, there's a bit more credibility to them. However, a rumor is a rumor, so don't take anything to heart!According to the publication, gamers could be seeing a PS3 installment of Ninja Gaiden Black. Should this prove true, it wouldn't be practical to hold out for a November release. However anything next-gen of the dangerous assassin would be well-received (but doubly so with an original title).
Another rumor surfacing talks about the possibility of seeing a massively multiplayer version of Burnout. Talk about some design mechanics! This would have a lot of potential with a big fan base backing it. So there you have it: rumors for the taking. If we get any followups, you'll know where to find them.

I like the Burnout MMO idea. It's already a blast to race/crash opponents online with the 360...so amplifying that into a "Test Drive" type scenario that's actually fun would be sweet. Burnout's about the only fun racing game left IMO.
Why would they port an original Xbox game (Ninja Gaiden Black) to the PS3? Because the PS2 couldn't run it? On one hand, sharing titles is good, but on the other, I was hoping that MS would get to keep exclusivity on this one, since Sony already has Devil May Cry and God of War. Playstation owners really should experience NGB though.
I wish they would redesign the PSP with onboard memory, and miniSD support. Those MS Duo's are way over-priced compared to the standard SD/miniSD. Luckily for me, I've got a 2GB on the way, but I ebay'ed it @ $40 instead of the $120+ it goes for in stores.
Thanks for posting on more gaming info!

"When we asked about the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, Itagaki simply stated that he would look at both consoles once they've hit the market and then decide at that point what projects he will make available to each."

Isn't this the guy that "LIKES POWER", or something like that, I think they will eventually move into making games for playstation 3 in the future though.

ninja gaiden black might be an xbox original, but the origianal ninja gaiden was on the nes, its only possible that they should jump from console to console were they find a business base for it and or the tech needed for something new they want to do.
