I completely forgot about the existence of Tenchu: Shadow Assassins for the Wii. It seemed to appear almost as silently as an actual ninja would if one were to piss off an oyuban.
I have not enjoyed a Tenchu game since the first one, but twenty dollars is right on the threshold where I'm comfortable throwing money away on a title even if it winds up not being very good, as I usually get more bang for my entertainment dollar than I would paying roughly the same amount of cash on a mediocre movie in the theatre. And twenty dollars is the price Amazon is asking of me this morning.
Still, I'm a little uncertain as to whether or not I'm going to pick it up. Did anybody play this one? Or, did you overlook it also? Help me, people. I'm torn.

However, I am nitpicking and it is a very enjoyable stealth experience with a wide selection of cool moves to do. The waggle is, gladly, kept to a minimum necessary to justify its existance on the console. For twenty bucks, it's a no brainer for anyone who enjoyed any title on the series.
The one thing I really want is Japanese audio and most of them don't have it. :(
Apparently, Shadow Assassins is a return to form, so I'd say 20 bucks is probably worth it.
With all the other games I just picked up recently, I've only poured about ~20 minutes into it so far... but dear lord, I'm not a fan of the waggle. When I have more time to play it, I'll give it more of a chance.
My initial impressions are that Tenchu Z seems far superior all around.
and still, what a god awful use of the terms.
what a god awful sentence! structure aside(god knows I lack it), the content is just ridiculous!
it's good news though. let us know when the psp version comes out. This time in english you fucking homo faggot son of a bitch
