"E3 YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z"

It has already been a while, but Inafune and team were in LA to attend the Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka E3) in mid June.

This year, we were proud to showcase the first playable version of "YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z" at the TecmoKoei booth on the E3 show floor, so it was a very special show for all of us.

And guess what happens on the first day of show?!

Inafune’s flight that flew out to LA from Tokyo,

turns out to suffer a major engine problem 7 hours after takeoff (OMG) and had to fly back to the nearest airport in Japan which was Hokkaido.

He got stuck at the airport for another 10 hours before they could fly him over to LA.

Yikes! It was another one of his crazy flight crisis story…but it didn’t have to be now!

So anyway, poor Inafune arrived in LA 17 hours after his ETA.

He missed a conference he meant to attend, and had to jump right into his busy E3 schedule!

He joined Hayashi from Team NINJA at the TKA booth where they together checked the latest game build.They attended meetings and video shoots.

They both met with MANY press over the 3 days of show and had a chance to talk about the amazing new game.

So despite the accident, we had a wonderful show!
