Sinan Kubba — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 09:00:00 EST

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is slashing its way onto PlayStation Vitas on February 26, 2013 in the US. It will then scurry into the night before suddenly emerging in Europe on March 1, except in France, where it arrives on February 28. The dates were revealed on the game's newly launched website.

The Vita port of the PS3 port of Ninja Gaiden 2 includes new features, such as the ability to switch between ninja heroes mid-battle, and the self-descriptive Ninja Race mode. It also sees Ayane, Momiji, and Rachel all get new costumes, because that's what being a ninja is all about. Forget hiding in the shadows, these ladies have brand new outfits.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus new modes detailed, new screens too

Sinan Kubba — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:30:00 EST

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is the enhanced Vita port of the enhanced PS3 port of Ninja Gaiden 2. With that confusion in mind, it's good Tecmo Koei clarified some of the game's details such as its new modes, as well as releasing an assortment of screens.

One of the new modes is 'Tag Mission,' which allows players to switch between two ninja heroes on the fly, swapping in and out as they see fit. On the ninja heroes front, the three ninja ladies of Ayane, Momiji, and Rachel all get newly designed costumes in Plus 2.

The other new mode is 'Ninja Race,' which really is as it sounds. The twist is a sort of Ninja Gaiden take on Mario Kart, in that you can collect items and take down enemies to increase speed and attack power. Unlike Mario Kart, though, there's no indication it can be played outside of single-player.

It also seems much of the Vita-specific functionality is returning from Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus, with Tecmo describing touchscreen and Sixaxis controls that very much sound like the first game's gyroscopic first-person aiming. The easier 'Hero' difficulty also makes a comeback in Plus 2, which is scheduled to release in Q1 2013.
