Team NINJA today unveiled new details for\u00a0 NINJA GAIDEN\u00ae SIGMA 2 PLUS,<\/i><\/b> the highly anticipated sequel to its PlayStation\u00aeVita launch title which is set for a March 1st<\/sup> 2013 release. Faster, bloodier, and more beautiful than ever, NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2 PLUS<\/i> takes the legendary action game to the next level with the all new \u201cNinja Race\u201d mode, tag missions involving any combination of two characters, potent new weapons for Ryu Hyabusa, and a pre-order DLC including limited edition female costumes. To premier these new game elements, Team NINJA has released a new \u00a0trailer and images highlighting the modes, weapons and costumes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In \u201cNinja Race\u201d mode, a slow ninja is a dead ninja as players race through dynamic courses to beat the clock. After choosing a character, level, and costume, players can strategically choose to dash through the course or viciously kill as many enemies as possible to earn boosts and points. The mode\u2019s Combo Kill counter increases as foes are dispatched in sequence\u2014the higher the counter, the more damage is dealt as long as the gauge stays filled. Three special essences, exclusive to the Ninja Race mode, boost the player\u2019s chance of a successful mission: Green Essence adds time to the clock, White Essence boosts the Combo Kill counter for added damage, and Purple Essence grants Ninja Speed.<\/p>\n

NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2 PLUS<\/i> now includes \u201cTag Missions\u201d providing an exciting new way to combine the complementary strengths of any two characters. Players can switch between team members in real time as they try to complete challenges, with the other team member under AI control. With each fighter having different strengths and weaknesses, players can strategically tag back and forth when facing different opponents and situations by pressing down on the directional pad.<\/p>\n

Ryu\u2019s attacks can be enhanced with powerful weapons including \u201cEmma\u2019s Fang\u201d, a massive sword that can decimate foes with slow but powerful swings. Legendary tales say the fearsome blade grows even stronger when it becomes bloodied. Worn on the hands and feet, \u201cFalcon\u2019s Talons\u201d can quickly cut enemies to pieces with special attacks including the Izuna Drop and the sliding, leg-cutting Thunderous Attack. Steel-reinforced hardwood \u201cTonfas\u201d, which can be swung from both hands to brutally crush enemies with their special Heavenly Justice combo, provide another option for mass destruction.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, those who pre-order NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2 PLUS will receive a DLC including unique, limited edition costumes for the female warriors Ayane, Rachel, and Momiji. Ranging from Ayane\u2019s light armor to Rachel\u2019s seductively spiky dress revealing her demon blood, the costumes are designed for both action and style.<\/p>\n

NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2 PLUS<\/i> brings the most intense, action-packed ninja adventure to PS Vita with stunning graphics, new modes, and plenty of blood. In the game, iconic super ninja Ryu Hayabusa returns to the Sigma series to prevent the resurrection of the evil Archfiend by hunting down the Demon Statue stolen by the wicked Black Spider Ninja Clan. Players will battle from Tokyo to New York as Ryu encounters vicious enemies while building an awesome arsenal of ninja weaponry. The action lights up the Vita\u2019s impressive OLED screen with upgraded graphics and the game features an all-star cast featuring signature characters from previous installments. An intuitive control system uses the front and rear touch screens and motion controls of the PS Vita to give players full control and the powerful \u201cHero\u201d play style automatically engages when the player is low on health.<\/p>\n

NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2 PLUS<\/i> is developed by Team NINJA and published by Tecmo Koei, is ESRB rated \u201cM\u201d (Mature) and will be available for an MSRP of $39.99.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
