New Shinobi 3DS trailer reveals “special challenge” maps, unlockable via StreetPass or Play Coins.

These extra stages look a bit bland — which I presume was Griptonite’s intention, differentiating them from the more busy environments you’ll see in the story campaign — but at least you can play through them as Joe Musashi, the hero of the original Shinobi games (and the son of this game’s ninja protagonist, Jiro Musashi).
