Kasumi announced for Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge!

Remember back in the day when Kasumi was going to be DLC for Ninja Gaiden 2? Yeah well, that never happened. Since Ninja Gaiden 2, Team Ninja has changed quite a bit, the head of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive left the team, and most fans gave up hope on both series; however, today I've got some good news!
As some of you may know, NG3RE on the Wii U is a completely remade version of Ninja Gaiden 3, which returns the game to the NG2 sytle of play, and fixes EVERYTHING that was wrong with the original. There's also two extra characters to play as in a "chapter challenge mode" and in the ninja trials, but today we have learned that yet another charcter will be entering the mix. Yep, that's right... Kasumi!

Although the details are still pretty limiting, Team Ninja has released the following pictures (which can also be found on the Wii U web page)



There was actually another image released as well, but I had to actually avoid uploading it here due to the fact that it had violent content.

Anyway, yep, it looks like Team Ninja finally got around to bringing us Kasumi in a Ninja Gaiden game, and to top it off, she's wearing her Dead or Alive 5 outfit! Now I'm sure there are other costumes as well, chances are we'll be seeing her default from DoA 1-4, but as of right now, like I said, details are limited.
Kasumi will be hitting NG3RE either this month, or early next year as free dlc.
