New high-resolution (full HD, according to Sony) screenshots from Ninja Gaiden 2, the upcoming violent sequel to the ninja slasher.
At its pre-Tokyo Game Show briefing, Microsoft officially announced Ninja Gaiden 2, the full sequel to the bloody action game. Team Ninja designer Tomonobu Itagaki took the stage to show off the game and announced that it is exclusive for release on the Xbox 360 sometime next year.
The game, among other new things, will feature an entirely new engine and have “finishing blows” system for fatality-like moves. It will feature an automatic health regeneration system with “semi-permanent damage restored at save points,” over 30 hours of gameplay and both land and water-based fighting.
Check out a nice, shiny teaser trailer below.
You can thank Gamers-Creed for letting the world know that there IS a GameSpot Korea, which they cite as a source for the following juicy phrase: Ninja Gaiden 2 at TGS.
Apparently, the game was confirmed by an insider in the Japanese games industry, who claims that the game will be shown on the Xbox 360 at the show though there might be a PS3 version in development. According to their source, this is being done because of the good relationship with Microsoft and the franchise’s developers. He also notes that this move is necessary to Microsoft to increase sales of their console which is ailing far behind the PS3 and Wii in the region.
