GDC08: Ninja Gaiden 2 to hit North America June 3, worldwide early June

by Kyle Orland { Feb 20th 2008 at 2:39PM }

At Microsoft's GDC 2008 keynote address, Tomonobu Itagaki just announced that Ninja Gaiden 2 will be released in North America on June 3, with a worldwide release coming in early June.

Itagaki showed off a brand new demo of the game running on "real hardware" at the keynote. The demo level featured battles with enormous winged creatures, a fight on a rickety bridge, and a very, very large sword.

*NG2 strikes like a stealthy ninja*

MY MONEY! NG2 stole my monies!

I can't wait for this game. Judging by the success of Devil May Cry 4, this is a guaranteed 3million+ seller. IMO

dmc4 did that well because it was multi platform.

It's nice to see Joey Ramone rise from the dead to make this announcement!

Sweetness! NG2 FTW. I could care less about other systems now.

It's out my birthday, a nice present I shall say.

I wonder if Guardia de mueix will be back THIS time. I hope he returns. Oh for those who don't know who I am talking about ...he calls himself THE JAQUIO!!

Mike @ Feb 20th 2008 4:22PM

Yay! Just days before my birthday. I know what I'm asking for.

June?? But I want it NOW!!! :)

Well - at least there will be no summer drought, this year! If it's as hard as the first one, it'll take the entire summer, alone, just to beat it.
