Following their mega-update of over forty Ninja Gaiden II screenshots, Microsoft have released some character renders and artwork for a handful of the game's central characters. 

Alexei, Joe Hayabusa, Elizabet, Volf, Muramasa, Zedonius, and Sonia are all pictured here. My favorite is Volf, who seems to be the reason for the inclusion of werewolves in Ninja Gaiden II. There was a pretty fantastic cut-scene in the preview build that had a weary and angry looking Volf commanding an army of werewolves to terrorize Venice. They listen, of course, and Italians are then slaughtered left and right. Volf is very respected.

Ninja Gaiden II comes to Xbox 360 on June 3.

June 3rd, DO WANT. If this game gets censored for the Australian/NZ market, I'll be pretty pissed off :( Hopefully it'll be region free.

more good Ninja Gaiden news comes in the fact that the costumes are 200 points for FIVE costumes, not one like everyone thought.

Is it just me, or does the sexy female in red have a "big surprise" in her pants?

I guess I'll be waiting for the PS3 version in after another decade.

Sigh...

@KING3VBO - your *drool* seems inopportune in respect to the previous comment.
