Square Enix Melds Ninjas With Smash Bros. and Contra

Sweeeeeeeeeetah! I can't wait to buy this. The fact that it's downloadable makes it even better.

Anyone play the Spiderman arcade game? This reminds me of that. Hanging on the ceiling as catwoman or spiderman, fighting bosses, zooming out.

Looks great!

Umm... I am honestly surprised. Looks pretty fucking awesome.
Bravo, Square. A little dissapointed that this isn't a retail game but, whatever, still is a great idea.

 

[MasterSqueak]

I am so going to buy that. Looks great! Ninjas are always cool. Not as cool as pirates, though. Now that would have made for a great game. But since that female ninja had an eyepatch, I''m counting her as an honorary buccaneer.

Pirates and ninjas are cool, but they both pale to the awesome sauce that elves bring to the table.

...elves...elves...awesome?!

You need to be subjected to the Dwarven Emergency Anatomical Transplant Hierarchy. Your mind has been infested by the pointy eared menace.

OT: Futuristic ninjas? Is one a doctor?

To be honest, I think it looks idiotic. If you actually looked carefully at it, it seems everyone has the same running pattern. It hardly differentiates between characters. Also, it seemed they all had the same running speed, WTF?

All their standard slash attacks looked a-like. How boring? This is a really bad version of Brawl. The only thing wrong with Brawl is Meta-Knight, Sonic, and Super Smash attacks - period.

can u say strider 3...that would be awesome...and i dont even like square enix...

 

[Evilsanta]

Because everyone knows ninjas wear bright Power Ranger colors and wear armor that looks like they wore a magnet suit and jumped in the armory at a Hot Topic. This looks stupid and knowing square enix, the story's gonna be stupid too.

Looks like a remade retro game (a compliment)
Im guessing this is going to be an expensive arcade game though?

Some games are story driven (anything by Bioware) but some games are all about the gameplay. I think this is the latter. This has a retro feel that I like, but I guess you did not like games like Galaga cause of the lack of story.

Ninjavania? That's what it looks like to me. Sign me up. More single-console co-op games are very much appreciated. Haven't had anything new to play with my roommate since Borderlands.

Moon Diver though? What is that about?


Moony Diver, you've been out to long in the midnight sea...

Ninjas plus Smash bros plus contra, I think the entire press release could have said just that (plus a trailer) and people would go nuts over it.

I hope this game is awesome.

 

[VirusHunter]

I just noticed, at 1:51 of the trailer you can see a fifth (Grey) ninja. Secret character perhaps?
(The pic flashes by real fast like the rest of them so you may have a bit of trouble)

That looks so badass. I loved the Dishwasher and this game's style looks very similar. I'll have to keep an eye on it.
