Ninja Gaiden DS Dated for UK

Ubisoft has recently announced that it is to be handling distribution for Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, releasing it just in time for the summer sun on June 28.

An extension of Team Ninja's visceral series on home consoles, it pleasingly makes the most of the DS's quirks, being played vertically on the system and using the stylus and touch-screen to control the eternally aggrieved protagonist Ryu Hayabusa. Or US team eloquently concluded that, "Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword kicks a whole lot of butt on the Nintendo DS" upon the game's review, before slapping an 8.6 on its hind. Which, taken as a whole, means it'll be well worth taking down the park for a little hack and slash come June.
