Quick Quotes: Team Ninja not responsible for Other M's story
"The story for Other M was definitely the product of Mr. Sakamoto at Nintendo. We definitely worked with them on the project, but that was all him. For NG3, we’ve worked with Masato Kato to create our own story. It’s going to be different in a lot of ways. There are definitely things we learned from Other M by working with Mr. Sakamoto and with Nintendo that we’ve applied to the NG development. The actual story that you will experience here, however, will have a very different feel. A 'Team Ninja' feel, you might say." - Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi to G4 regarding the stories in Other M and NG3.
