Tenchu 4 Answers Ninja Cat Gameplay Prayers
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 8:40 AM on August 14, 2008
From Software and Acquire are bringing Tenchu-style ninja action to the Wii with Tenchu 4, the eleventh game in the series. This promotional clip, via Insert Credit, shows that Acquire is on the right track, finally letting us take control of kitties for some of the game's stealthier sections. It would appear that ninja-trained cats needs a bit of coercion to enter stealth mode, but when they do, expect serious pussy action.

Seems fun, and the cat behaves like a cat. If it makes the game good, I'm all for it.

@resetbutton: My thoughts exactly... Seriously--I remember when this game used to be innovative and, you know, kick ass. Now they have... cats? What the hell?

Reminds me of the Mk. II and Mk. III from MGS4. Now that I think about it, a cat would've been better because you wouldn't be able to send it "out of range." Damn Otacon taking control away from me!

I don't know if I like the idea of teaching kids that shaking a cat is how you get it to enter "stealth mode".

Bahahaha, I wonder how long before an animal rights groups target this game because it "promotes violence towards animals." I can also seem them mentioning how the target audience for this game is children, since it's a Wii title.

Very much agreed. I'm not to familiar with what the Wii is capable of... but is this really representative of the graphic capability of the Wii? If so, I am not impressed. I thought it could do better.

this is one of those thing we definetely dont want to do. teach animals the deadly art of the ninja. i mean if we do soon they will rise and judgement day will be at hand... and on that note i for one welcome our pussy overlords. :| thats right i went there
@Suda51: the cows are taking back what was once theirs.

@Michael McWhertor:
This is exactly the kind of story I can take places but I've been walking around all day with my guts hanging out due to something indecent you did to me. A nice entry point like "pussy action" is wasted on me now :(
...
I remembered the last game in this series: Tenchu-Z. After playing that demo, it took hours of washing my eyes to stop the burning. It seems they haven't changed much but then again, it's a Wii game.

Ninja kitteh iz ninja. But not all black -- no, kitty is half white and still manages stealth. Mad skillz.
This would totally give my cats ideas, I'm afraid. They're already ninja enough.

I don't mean to be a graphics whore and i know the Wii isn't capable of super atomic sugar looks. But that clip just looked extra horrible and I know the Wii can do so much better.

Avoid the action and pain by deploying your faithful cat who can not be harmed, kills enemies by attacking their jugular, and can be used for an unlimited time.
Only on Wii! :D

On-topic now, Tenchu always seemed to be lacking something...maybe this solved it. Maybe..

The original Tenchu was one of my all time favorite games. I didn't even have to play more than the first mission over and over to get my ninja fix on. I don't know what to make of the series anymore after the last one that came out on xbox 360.

PLEASE make one oh dear Raptor Jesus! :(

@hamandcheeseUK: I thought the demo sucked too, but somehow the full game was great.

Pl;ease don't suck, please don't suck...
I was Tenchu God back in the day. Grand Master'd everything with every character, had every line memorized, etc. I was a fanatic.
But lately, not so much. Though I wish they'd port that Tenchu PSP to the states sometime. importing is a bitch for me.

This series seems to be on an unstoppable downward spiral. Poor Tenchu. You were actually innovative when you first appeared. Now...now we're waggling at the screen controlling a ninja cat. Where did we go wrong with you?

Ninja Cat is Win
Being able to shake Ninja Cat using wii-mote is Double Win.
If you can shoot projectile hairballs (or shurikens and lightning) it will be Flawless Winnery.

I think this game looks awesome.
GOOD TENCHU: 1, 2, 3(WoH) & FS
BAD TENCHU: XBox, PSP & DS
... see? it's not complicated.
this is the original team working with the main storyline - if you liked the original games you won't be disappointed.
I promise controlling a cat will be less than 1% of the gameplay. feel free to quote me on that.

Looks like a PS1 game. I totally expect a PSP or PS2 port at some point.
Posted 12:21 AM 15/8/08
@CSanjuro: Pirates have parrots, which are birds, so ninjas naturally had to one-up them with cats. If pirates get dogs, it'll lead to full-scale escalation, which can only end in pirate sharks and ninja ligers. Then god help us all.
