IO Interactive takes a step away from their popular Hitman franchise to introduce us to an all-new, all-tiny brand of hero, with the announcement of Mini Ninjas
Lately we are seeing more and more online flash games making the leap to consoles and handhelds. The newest addition to that roster is N+, an updated version of a little Ninja action/platformer game called N that took the interwebs by storm last year. The gameplay is simple and addicting. Guide your stealthy Ninja through mazes of obstacles, grabbing gold along the way until you eventually make your way to the exit. Now, Developer Silverbirch Studios is set to bring the title to the PSP and DS with new levels and new game modes.
newVideoPlayer("assassin418_kotaku.flv", 463, 280,""); Ever fight an enemy in an FPS and wish you were playing the bad guy instead of the good guy? That’s the feeling I get watching this clip of Project Origin’s assassin in action. It’s all well and good to run around shooting folks in the face, but the ability to fade in an out of view at a moment’s notice really calls to the ninja inside me, which is good, because it keeps him from stabbing his katana into my innards and trying to climb my esophagus with his pointy ninja gloves. Damn inner ninja.
UPDATE: Monolith contacted us to let us know the wrong vid had gone out with the release, and the better one has replaced the…less than better one.
Love or hate the anime, Naruto’s Clash of the Ninja series of games are some of the best 3D fighting games I’ve ever played. Now the series is being refitted for a Wii release, and this video shows you exactly how you’ll be kicking faux ninja arse using the Wiimote and nunchuck. It’s good to see the disembodied hand method to demonstrate Wii controls return. I have missed them so. Hopefully the game will let you use the GC controller as well, because so far fighters and Wii controls have been kinda spotty.
I don’t think any of the Ninja in Screw Attack’s Top Ten Ninja(s) actually deserve to be on the list. Sure, they’re all good at doing whatever it is that they do, but come on, top ninja? You can see them! To be a top ninja you have to start your training early, slipping out of your mother’s womb in the dead of night to avoid being detected by the doctor’s special “look at the baby in your tummy” device. Amateurs.
Southpeak Interactive describes Ninjatown as “a quirky but intensely addictive strategy title.” It’ll be on dispaly at the Leipzig Games Convention, and the game will be out first quarter 2008. I don’t care if it’s Wednesday, this clip is the cutest thing you will see all week. Mark my words.
Cute Ninjas Okay [Dtoid]
One thing I’ve learned: You can never have too many ninjas. Pirates, yes. Ninjas, no. Still, there is a flash game called Too Many Ninjas!. It’s annoyingly bizarre little flasher with purple ninjas that is not nearly as great as its own title. Still, I was only able to kill 20 of those little buggers, when I realised there may be too many ninjas, but not enough fun. Too Many [Foddy via Game|Life]
