If Ninja Blade was gonna be like 'Otogi 3' (Otogi/Otogi2 being one of the Xbox's best games and one of my top 10 favourite 'last gen' games), I would be super excited for Ninja Blade.

Besides the fact that From Software has said that it's not intended to be Otogi's spiritual successor, it just doesn't look as interesting as Otogi. Though I've always been more attracted to the 'Samurai' side of Japanese lore than the 'Ninja' side. Still, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, since Otogi was indeed awesome and this looks more like Otogi than From Software's kindalame Tenchu series.
