On February 22nd, the Vita is going to have a couple titles that feature a master ninja. There is, of course, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus, which features the legendary Ryu Hayabusa, but there's also another ninja stealth title that deserves your attention. Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zenis the newest game from Acquire (of Tenchu fame). This time around you'll be taking control of Zen the Spider Lily. I can't make this stuff up.
Namco Bandai recently released a new trailer for Shinobido 2, and it shows off the ways of the ninja. That's just a really fancy way to explain the different methods of how you'll take down Zen's targets. At your disposal you will of course have good old-fashioned physical stealth kills, a flying suit, grapple hook, assassin tools and a whole lot more. As I said earlier, Shinobido 2 is confirmed to be a launch title for the Vita, and it definitely seems worth checking out.
As a HUGE fan of the Way of the Samurai series, I've always wanted to try out its spinoff counterpart. I sadly won't be getting the Vita immediately, but when I do this is a game I'm getting.

My same thoughts, I'm sure the game is fun, I just can't stop thinking that this was planned for PSP at the beginning, but hell, if the demo is good, I'll buy it.

Was anyone else sort'a reminded of Shenmue's trailers by this one?
The main character talking about the gameplay mechanics and story, the music (which makes sense really), and the hunt for old mirrors are all similar to them...
Anywho, the game looks like a lot of fun, I should track down the first one and give that a whirl.
