Preview: I-Ninja

[bahn]

For years, Namco has consistently graced gamers with its solid lineup of eciting hits including such titles from <i>Ridge Racer</i> to <i>Klonoa</i> (who personally I miss a great deal by the way. It's about time for a new installment, wouldn't you say?)

Later in the year, we'll be hit with yet another wave of platformers (i.e. Jak II, Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando), but they've got nothing on <b>I-Ninja</b>.

Recently, our esteemed colleague Haohmaru had the pleasure of giving Namco's upcoming action platformer a spin. While it's still early in development (GameCube edition also in the works), his initial thoughts has got us all eagerly anticipating its release. I also had the opportunity to briefly speak with the development team about the current project.

Hop over to the full report.

Excellent. Ninja games are cool...but CUTE ninja games? Astounding.

All kidding aside, I've been waiting to hear something about this, and I'm glad it's good.

Thanks Haoh...oh, and you too, Bahn.

Also, what's it coming out for?

I guess Don Bluth is doing the cinematics, which is fantastic news. I case you are a dummie, Don Bluth did the animation for the "Dragons Lair" and "Space Ace" games, and several acclaimed animated films.
