More Castle Crashers Characters: Ninja and Skeleton

The Behemoth aren't fools, they understand that adding ninjas not only adds awesomeness, it compounds it. (Seriously, try it out. Take any noun, say "plus ninjas", and tell me if it's not awesome. Christmas. Oregon Trail. My cousins' confirmation. Told you.) So word's out via the official blog that you can count on Ninja as another character, and Skeleton as still another.
Ninja carries a sai and a coffee mug, described in a pureley def4. That has to be an inside office joke. The mug is purely defensive. There's also a haze/halo around Ninja in the screens provided by The Behemoth, so does that include invisibility, camouflage or teleporting, or is that just a motion effect? Dunno.
Second character just announced: Skelly, whose weapons seem to include a sword and a bow-and-bone arrow. Plus from gameplay screens, he's either blocking or projecting some kind of energy attack.
Full screens after the jump.

I have been waiting ages for this game, adding ninjas does make it easier though.

Let's hope that unlike Hominid, the cartoonish sprites don't make it borderline unplayable because you CAN'T SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

This is actually the first i've heard about this game, and i am thoroughly interested. I loved alien homonid, and this looks absolutely brilliant, with it's old school arcade layout in addition to awesomely cartoonish sprites. Very awesome.
@raptorsrevenge: addition*

What are the chances of this coming out on other systems? The game looks great but I don't have an xbox 360.

I do hope this one goes mutliplatform like Alien Hominid did. Im really liking what im lookig at, plus, Capcom's Dungeons and Dragons CPS2 arcade games are among my all time favorite games and Im getting the same vibe out of this one.
Shiryu
Briss. Plus Ninjas.
Holy shit, that sounds awesome!
Erwin
I'm so fucking excited.
TheGuero
soooo, if we have ninjas... then it's safe to assume there will be pirates too, right?
lightsaber pirates!? too rad!
aeonpulse
I absolutely love the art direction of this game. This will be a nice edition too the arcade game list on my 360.

Well since they recently announced that development is finished I'm guessing were going to be seeing this title appear on live any day now. 2 year (not counting the work done before the unveiling at Comicon) certainly seems like a long development time but if it pays off I'm more than happy. Longs great.

Lets see Metal Gear Ninja Solid... Cooooooooooool

Oh how I wish this was coming to the PSN!

@Lixie: From the post right above you:
"Ninja carries a sai and a coffee mug, described in a pureley def4. That has to be an inside office joke. The mug is purely defensive."
So yeah, something tells me he is.
Also: Cannot wait for this to be released.
