Sega have just put out a video showing off the first gameplay footage of a new Shinobi for the 3DS.
Check it out
This is made by Griptonite games, who you may remember from such games as the badass GBA Spyro sidescroller/metroidvania, and the also very good handheld spider-man games.
Good for them that they've been entrusted with a series with such a strong heritage. I look forward to seeing more on it.

Shinobi is Back in Full 3D After Eight Years
LONDON AND SAN FRANCISCO – (May 26, 2011) – SEGA Europe Ltd. and SEGA of America, Inc. today announced Shinobi exclusively for Nintendo 3DS. Developed by Griptonite Games, Shinobi is the long anticipated return of the fan favorite series and includes the classic side-scrolling action gameplay players have loved since the original. Coming to stores in September 2011, Shinobi introduces several exciting new features such as StreetPass and a large assortment of achievements and challenges to unlock.
“For years the fans have been asking for a new Shinobi,” said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing of SEGA West. “With Shinobi on Nintendo 3DS we are able to answer their prayers and bring this legendary series to the next level.”
Shinobi tells the story of Jiro Musashi, the leader of the Oboro clan and father of Joe Musashi, the hero of the first iterations of Shinobi. Players will become a true ninja legend by mastering a brand new combo system switching between melee, ranged and acrobatic attacks. They will also need to rely on Jiro’s ninja magic to get an advantage over their enemies and get out of tight spots.
Shinobi will be released for Nintendo 3DS in September 2011.
That press release, plus screens and other fun, can be found here.
So, yeah, it's a prequel. Given the time jump between releases, I'd have expected Joe Musashi's son, rather than his father, but this is cool.

Also I think I hear some classic sound effects in there.
Regardless, this may very well tip me into getting a 3DS. Very excited about this.
Update this commercial
Very excited. I like the way it looks and I think the 3D effect could be really nice with the art style. September, get here faster!
edit: Oh, he's got the best part of the 2002 costume. Never mind then.
OMG, is that Hiro from Heroes?! YES!

"Did ya hear the one about the mussel that wanted to purchase Valve? Seems like the bivalve had a juicy offer on the table but the company flat-out refused and decided to immediately clam up!"
Gameplay vid
I don't really have much experience with Shinobi as a franchise, though.
Always good to see SEGA reviving one of their classic big names, particularly when they appear to be doing it right.
I feel the OP lacks information, though. Feel free to add the following for new visitors to the thread:

Know what would make this game even better?

Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
Done, cheers. Couldn't agree more about Alex Kidd.
He hasn't done Shinobi, you're probably thinking of Ninja Gaiden.
If this new Shinobi is more like Shinobi 3 or Shadow Dancer, I'll be happy.

That was my question when the game came up in the Sonic anniversary thread, as soon as I discovered the developer had made some Spider-man games.

It's true that graphics aren't the most important thing--Shinobi PS2 was pretty ugly--but it's stylistically very boring. It looks more like DSiware game than a proper 3DS title.
Aside from that, it looks like an uncreative rehash of old Shinobi mechanics, with giant inelegant point values flying all over the screen. I'm not optimistic.
Spoilers for obvious reasons:

"I CALL FORTH THE ICY TOUCH OF DEATH!"
"I CALL FORTH THE FIRES OF HELL!"
FOR FUCKING HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS!!!
FUCK YOU! I CALL FORTH MY COCK IN YOUR EYE YOU FUCKING SHITBAG!!!!!!!!
Of course, it's the most satisfying feeling when you basically one hit kill him (You can one hit kill any boss if you build up your ninja gauge).
This game was a ninja trainer. After this game, you'll only need 60 years of physical training to be on par of a real ninja.
