EA Japan reveals DS ninja game

by JC Fletcher { May 1st 2009 at 11:40AM }

EA in Japan isn't much like EA in the West, at least in terms of DS games. Well, maybe it is in that it delivers exactly the kind of stuff its target audience wants to see -- to the point of being stereotypical. In the US, that means licensed games, racing, and The Sims. In Japan, it means DS nongames, pervy stuff, and dungeon crawlers.

The latest game to be revealed by EA Japan falls into the latter category: Shonen Kininden Tsumuji is about a young ninja whose mountain home is attacked by enemy ninja types. To save his family and friends, Tsumuji takes off into a series of dungeons, battling ninja with a large magical shuriken called "Senpuuki" ("Wind Demon"). Along the way he can find more ninja tools hidden in walls and under the floor.

EA has only revealed one piece of artwork from the game, but it's enough to capture our interest. We eagerly await the details that should come from a Coro Coro Comics event tomorrow.
