Mini Ninjas, big media update

by JC Fletcher on Apr 9th 2009 12:00PM

Eidos sent out a ton of screenshots for Io Interactive's massively multiplatform miniature melee, Mini Ninjas, including our first looks at the Wii and DS versions. The latest game from the Hitman creators follows a trainee ninja named Hiro, the youngest ninja in his clan and the only one left, and his friends Futo and Suzume as they battle the Evil Samurai Warlord and his army of "mindless Samurai warriors," transformed from helpless forest creatures.

Head past the break to see the Wii and DS galleries. We don't know if it's because the Wii version's graphics are extra-sharp or the 360 version's are extra-simple, but the game looks fairly consistent between the two platforms! Publisher Eidos plans to release Mini Ninjas this fall, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Wii, and DS.

"Evil Samurai Warlord and his army of 'mindless Samurai warriors,' transformed from helpless forest creatures."

....did Dr. Robotnik help him come up with the plan?

Eggman!

... Robotnik made it sound like he knew what he was doing with his life.

great screenshots, can't wait to get my hands on this one.

it looks pretty good on both platforms and the ds. so that almost means that we might get a half decent ps3 port. should look somewere between the wii and ds versions.........................score!!!. im just kidding developers have been gettin their act together of late

I'd say these are the best graphics on the Wii by far..

Almost Gamecube quality!

they must have "tightened up the graphics" on level 3

jeez.. the played out wii joke(s) that never seems to go away.

HotLimit

They're not really offensive anymore.

They're just cute.

Is this a ninja RTS? If so, awesome.

Where did you get RTS?

Go buy Ninja Town!

*sigh* Been itching to buy ninja town... but recent developments have made it near impossible to buy a DS game.

......... is it as awesome as everyone's saying?

Pretty awesome...

How come when developers make games for everything they always forget about the PSP?

Because for some reason, everytime it hits the PSP, people complain why it's not on the PS3. Or if it's on both, people just claim that the "PSP version's not worth it, get the PS3 version."
...and then comes a long discussion of how the PSP version is its own type of game.
But no one cares after a certain amount of time, they'll just play it.
