Ninja Reflex screens

Think you can go the way of the Ninja?  Click an image to enlarge.

EA are responsible for this; this college dormatory idea of actually releasing a game in which the player tries to be as quick, as agile and as deadly as the ninja.  Awesome!  So how are they going to present it?  So far we know that it's a party game that is action driven, drawing on the success of Wii Sports and Brain Training.  Two different ideas, two massive selling games. One relies on multiplayer fun and moving your body/the remote, whilst the other quite literally is teaching and challenging you.  Yes...admit it.  Brain Training took you to school and served you. Come on, we know it's true.

"Ninja Reflex trains players to be better gamers by sharpening their speed and skill, and is exactly the kind of unique concept and creative design that EAP helps bring to market on a global stage," said David DeMartini of EA Partners.  Nunchuck Games are co-publishing Ninja Reflex, so let's hope that the partnership is more about a kick ass game and less about 'the global stage'.  If it's a legend, it'll sell everywhere and that's a fact.  Games like Elite Beat Agents and the Phoenix Wright series prove this.

Ninja Reflex is due to release on the Wii and DS in March 2008  So finally, we can find out if you are ninja, I am ninja ... (ask a ninja??)
