Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



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.

Perhaps they can strategically fling Ninja Dropping at their opponents?

Ninja consultant is my favorite!!!!!!!

This is really fascinating. I remember seeing Shawnimals and pooh'ing at their remarkably kawaii but ridiculously easy to make plush bodies.

What do you think this says about the connection between the urban vinyl/toy scene and the gaming industry?

I'd love to see some Tim Biskup characters or Labbits marching across my DS screen. SHeeee---attteee

Major win for whoever likes Ninja Consultant. He wields his pie chart like a Katana - he will hack you up worse than last month's sales numbers!

I also find the Consultant Ninja quite humorous. Of course there will be collectible figures I must have...

@soadsam
I think they look more like Puyo-puyos.
lol @ ninjadropping... a ninja disguised as a turd, or an actual turd with the powers of a ninja?
This video gave me Magical Designer Mari-chan flashbacks.
