On this glorious day known as Day of the Ninja, Team Ninja unleashed this very Ninjatastic kill montage from Ninja Gaiden II. Ryu Hayabusa makes easy work of his enemies with his assortment of badass weapons. We also have some very pretty screens that oddly lack any blood. Though there is plenty of blood squirting out of Ryu's enemies in the above video.
I really don't like the placement of the lifebar. It doesn't look like it will get in the way of the gameplay, but it just looks ugly. Also, all that blood has got me thirsty for some Pomegranate juice.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Holy crap yes! Dual swords and Tiger Claws?!?! That is exactly what was missing from NG! I liked the dynamic camera as well, made the hits more pronounced.
I'm positive I posted a comment in here earlier about the massive amount of decapitations. It has disappeared. Better call Scooby and the gang, we've got a mystery.

And they didn't even show the quickchange weapon system they wanted to put in(like in DMC3).
