Ninja Party Game Coming to Wii, DS from EA in 2008

November 27, 2007 2:30 PM

Fans of pop culture phenomena will be pleased to learn of a ninja-themed party game coming from EA next year to Wii and DS. Arriving from an unnamed studio, Ninja Reflex will retail sometime in 2008, the publisher announced.

The title is the second ninja-including party game slated for 2008 release, as Blazing Lizard's Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball (X360) will be available for download from Xbox Live Arcade next year as well.

Another ninja-focused game for DS, Ninjatown, is based on a line of plush toys and will be arriving next year from Venan Entertainment and Cashmere Productions. EA said it will release more information on Ninja Reflex next week.

  Don't you mean that there aren't that many ninja related games out there that actually have enough to do with ninjas, beyond throwing shuriken and the name? Look at Ninja Gaiden, Shinobi, etc. All of those are essentially God of War type games with a loose ninja theme.

    Not only did Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden come out before God of War, they are nothing like it, in terms of gameplay.
    
    I do think that neither Shinobi nor Ryu are very stealthy, which isn't very ninja like.
