Players will control a miniature ninja on his quest to save the world from evil over-sized samurai. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=17623 Hitman creators Io Interactive have announced the upcoming release or their newest title, Mini Ninjas for the Wii and DS.
The player will control Hiro, a miniature Ninja who traverses a dangerous world full of evil samurai. He must confront and destroy the samurai warlord in order to restore peace to a world on the "brink of chaos."
Contrary to the name, the case appears to be that Hiro and his party are not actually miniaturized but that their adversaries can be big, really big. Mini Ninjas will make use of a cell shaded graphical art style for the characters and on-screen action. Screenshots of the game suggest that the title is most likely a third-person action game, and while there have been no official confirmations, it appears that players will be able to control characters other the Hiro.
A combination of basic sword mechanics and special skills will comprise the combat system of Mini Ninjas. By tapping into the power of Kuji magic the player will able to utilize the special skills of Hiro's ninja friends, Suzume, Futo, and possible other unnamed companions.
Mini Ninjas is rated E10+ and is dated to release during Q3 2009.
