“When we played the old Sly Cooper games,” explains Sanzaru head Glen Egan (opens in new tab), “we loved the stories about the Cooper clan ancestors and their various thieving abilities.” Which is why, when Sanzaru took over the series from Sucker Punch, it immediately set to work developing those ancestors into playable characters. The first to be revealed is Rioichi Cooper, Sly’s ninja ancestor, who Egan describes as “not only an uber-Ninja but is also the inventor of sushi.” Really? Sushi was invented in Japan? This game about time-traveling talking raccoon thieves is historically inaccurate (opens in new tab)! For shame.

Anywho, the HD Collection will apparently hit PSN fairly soon, which should tide fans over until the 2012 release of Sly 4.
