It is a universal fact that ninjas should not be cute. It really kills the credibility of being a ruthless killing machine if women are cooing over you. However, figure in a DS title populated by Shawnimals, and somehow the whole concept becomes somehow much more acceptable. For those of you not familar with them, Shawnimals is a line of toys that appeals to the designer toy set that collect goodies such as Kubricks and Qee bears.
Southpeak Interactive will be showing Ninjatown at Leipzig Games Convention this week. They describe it in the press release as "a quirky but intensely addictive strategy title". As usual, the DS continues to delight with its eccentric library, and people with hardcore habits for cute attacks continue to feed the monkey. We can expect to see Ninjatown's US release in the first quarter of 2008. This has been Colette Bennett, your official commentary on all things squeeworthy, now signing off.
This looks like an interesting title. But strategy? Ninja RPG? i wonder how thats possible. er wait unemployed ninja, but it was never like this. So is 2007 the year of the ninja?
i'm glad, i'm not the only one who was confused and a little scared when i saw the character 'ninja dropping' wow. just wow. although ninja consultant looked pretty bad ass. i'd hire him, if they didn't listen he could just kill them and take all their money. win win for me. [:
So, I looked at the video preview and I says to myself "Self, is that really a happy turdlette there beside the ninjas?" and Self said "Yes, now pay your fucking car insurance for the month."
Maybe the Anti-Ninja and the Regular Ninja are much like polar opposites that represent two extremely linear representatives of the ninja lifestyle. One obeys the concept of stealth combat as a whole and utilizes the silent stature that is the ninja way, whereas the Anti-Ninja is the more popularized rationale of the flipping out/cutting heads ninja that we as a trendy hip pop culture has come to the conclusion of being a ninja after watching three Jet Li films, a Tony Jaa film, five Jackie Chan films and half a Steven Seagal film and a late-night session of Ninja Gaiden Black with the final culmination of looking up Real Ultimate Power at four in the morning on a buzz combined with a Baconator and two bottles of Amp energy drink.

I can't wait to play it. Better yet, I hope it becomes WiiWare. Those little bastard's hearts are just too damn big to be stuck on the small screen.

I saw the shop on the Shawnimals site. They have a sticker of a fucking ninja riding a mustache.
Shawnimals = WIN
