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.

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

Phranctoast: Feb 20th 2008; 3:29PM

dmc4 did that well because it was multi platform.

Sir.sinho: Feb 20th 2008; 7:03PM

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.

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.

Diskoboy: Feb 20th 2008; 5:02PM

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.

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo): Feb 20th 2008; 5:06PM

mmmm. Violence. So delicious.
