Ninja Gaiden characters to appear in Dynasty Warriors, vice versa
Merged game companies rarely fuse their franchises together, but when the two partnered entities' action-genre focus overlaps as much as Koei and Tecmo's do, inter-brand cameos come naturally. That's why we weren't shocked to hear that Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa and Warriors Orochi's Nu Wa would make appearances in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, respectively, of Dynasty Warriors Multi Raid. In addition, Multi Raiid's Sun Shang Xiang and Zhao Yun will appear as costumes in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
At this rate, we expect the many, many ninjas from Koei and Tecmo's respective properties will soon be thrown into a "ninja pool," which players of any their titles will be able to choose from. For the record, we're strong advocates for this ninja unionization. Fairer wages for our shiruken-slinging brethren!

I hope this leads to a series Tecmo developed Romance of the Three Kingdoms action games along the same vein as Ninja Gaiden.

Now see, that's the kind of evolution that Dynasty Warriors needs. NEW GAMEPLAY PEOPLE.
Playing as ryu is fun, sure.. but the gameplay is still going to be exactly the same thing I've already played 4 times now (I think I've played 4 of them, I can't remember because they blend together)

...this is cool and don't get me wrong, I think this is great...
But why OH WHY, did Tecmo turn down Square-Enix?!.......(deep sigh)

lol, the Age option made my middle-school years better with DOA on Sega Saturn.
Yeah, I was 99 years old.

So PS3 gets super ninja Ryu, and 360 gets so no named nobody from some game I have never heard of?
...Lame.

Of course this was going to happen. It's not like Koei was going to try and do anything DIFFERENT. Ryu fits perfectly with the Dynasty Warriors gameplay

In another post Joystiq asked us if we wanted more coverage on peripherals. I would like to take this time to say that I would like less, as in "no," coverage of Dynasty Warriors. Thanks.

Koei & Tecmo can go F*** themselves. Tecmo is a shell of its former self.

Well hell yeah. As a fan of both series, seeing them team up's gonna be awesome. Although since both tecmo and koei get most of their sales and fans from japan, i'm sure a few people over there are having a dream come true.
