Koei Tecmo disclosed the sales results so far for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and Fist of the North Star (as well as Samurai Warriors 3) in their latest earnings report.
"While the women in fighting games tend to get the most attention for being considered "sexy", their cousins in the action genre are out shooting it up and exploring boundaries well beyond the confines of a ring. Just because these characters are rendered in more than bikinis doesn't mean they're not sexy.
The action genre has been dominated by male characters since the creation of gaming. But there have been a few exceptions to the rule of sexes. And of course, these female exceptions have..."

"It’s the tenth day of Christmas and the tenth instalment of Electronic Theatre’s The Twelve Games of Christmas series. Every day for the Twelve Days of Christmas we have been looking back at 2009 and the very best videogames that the year had to offer. Today we are nearing the end of the year and looking back at October 2009 and the games that, should you not already own, you should be looking out for in the January sales."
"Tecmo Koei Europe has announced that the previously revealed Downloadable Content (DLC) for the PlayStation 3 exclusive release of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 will be made available on the European PlayStation Store next week. Due for release on November 23rd 2009 in the UK and November 26th across mainland Europe, the DLC includes a number of brand new costumes of each of the playable characters."
"The most obvious thing to note is that the Xbox 360 game is capable of throwing far more enemies at you, though there can be a performance penalty. Ninja Gaiden 2 revels in throwing seven or eight opponents at you at any given point (though it can go higher) while the PS3 game is more strictly limited to six or fewer in the same situations. The original 360 code doesn't hold back in the amount of cut-off limbs that pile up, while on PS3 those same appendages disappear almost instantly. Left-b..."
From their Dead or Alive series to their lingerie wearing TGS booth babes to their over-the-top Fatal Frame IV breast physics to their boob jiggling feature in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, it's easy to assume Tecmo are one of the most juvenile game companies.
Here is a making-of video, showing us how they made the Ninja Gaiden 2 viral ads, for anyone wondering how to make a pair of boobs and stick them on the wall. Wait, no-one was wondering that? Oh...
"This weekend, Tecmo Koei Europe has re-launched their London MCM Expo microsite, http://www.tecmokoeiexpo.com/, adding a host of information and new features. With the London MCM Expo taking place this weekend, 24th-25th October 2009, most publishers attending the show will be ramping-up their campaigns this week, but once again it’s been left to Tecmo Koei Europe to lead the way."
"Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 has seen a number of revisions throughout it’s Campaign, but for it’s tidying and polish, it’s essentially the same game it was back in 2008, and suffers from many of the same flaws. The camera can be infuriatingly ignorant of the players’ wishes, often requiring you to engage an unknown enemy without a line-of-sight. The control system can occasionally feel loose, calling for unnecessary retries during occasional stretches of tricky acrobatics, and the numerous areas whe..."
All Age Gaming's Phong Nguyen bring's us the 13th AAG "The Week That Was". This week he discusses the 320GB capacity Blu-ray disk, the Playstation 3 motion controller, the rise in Wii sales, the new 360 dashboard update coming and more!
Looks like our user frostyhudson's 411mania site has ceased their great release lists, so it's back to shacknews.
Shed a tear, then remember Risen, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the Wizard of Oz RPG (really, it's gonna be good -- check for Neoseeker's review shortly), Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga, Gran Turismo PSP, Obscure, and lastly (phwew), the PSPGo are coming out (plus a few other highlights).
In a new interview with former Team Ninja leader Tomonobu Itagaki, we get his thoughts on a variety of topics, including his upcoming war game, the recent Tecmo/Wikipedia controversy, and the "breast bounce" feature of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (Itagaki created the original Gaiden 2 but has no involvement with this title). Read on...
"Throughout the course of this past weekend, September 17th – 20th, the Paris Game Festival took place over on the continent, showcasing some of the best games of this year and the hopefuls for 2010. Big name publishers such as Microsoft, Sony, Activision, Electronic Arts, Nintendo and Square Enix were joined by a raft of development studios and accessory manufacturers, each attempting to wow their audience with their latest and greatest releases."
Jeez, this Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 boob jiggling dealie has gotten ridiculous. If the creepy commercial and Team Ninja demonstration weren't enough for you, here are two more videos showing exactly how the feature works. As if the first two videos didn't show enough!
Okay, this is where Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2's new boob jiggling feature has stumbled into 'creepy' territory. We've already seen a demonstration of the feature in action. Now here is a new commercial showing hoardes of Japanese men mesmerized by the game's bouncing boobs...
"As the grand opening of this year’s London Games Festival, London MCM Expo was always going to be knee-deep in sweet gaming goodness, giving visitors hands-on experience with upcoming epic titles such as Bandai Namco’s Tekken 6, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II and Monster Hunter Tri from Capcom. Now three more top developers give you a sneak peek at what they’ve got planned for October’s Expo."
"Tecmo Koei Europe have today released the final launch trailer for the forthcoming European release of the highly-anticipated Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Due for release exclusively on PlayStation 3 on October 2nd 2009, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 will be available in both standard and Collector’s Edition packages."
"It is no shocker that for the most part, girlfriends and video games don’t quite get along. Every now and then you may acquire a significant other who isn’t bothered by any video game, and of course there are always games like Super Mario Kart that appeals to both genders. Then there are … other games. Games that girls will despise. Games that girlfriends will curse forever and banish to the bowels of hell. Read on, for the Top 10 Games That You Girlfriend Hates you for Playing."
A few days ago it was revealed that Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 will have a feature that allows players to use the SIXAXIS to jiggle the characters' boobs. Well here's that feature in action:
"Following the release of brand new artwork and screenshots last week, Tecmo Koei Europe has today unveiled the final artwork designs for the highly anticipated Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Collector’s Edition, including the first image of the Soundtrack CD's packaging. Set to be available exclusively from HMV on October 2nd 2009, with a Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of £49.99, the Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Collector’s Edition features the full game alongside a host of special additions."
"Tecmo Koei Europe have today released a number of new screenshots and artwork for the forthcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Set for release on October 2nd, 2009, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 offers a revision of the Xbox 360 release, Ninja Gaiden 2, including more playable characters and a two player online co-operative mode."
From their Dead or Alive series to their TGS booth babes to their over-the-top breast physics in Fatal Frame IV, it's no secret that Tecmo like their characters to be scantily-clad and full of boob. So what have Tecmo come up with now? Well, they're going to allow players to use the PS3's SIXAXIS to create boob jiggle in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. What an...uh...interesting way of using the SIXAXIS.
Indeed.
A list of the top games you should look into while making your September gaming purchases. With every system offering a solid game this month, you'll definitely be buying a couple games this month for one of your favorite systems.
The latest Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 commercial has been released and teaches gamers the valuable lesson that "Japanese Women Are Frightening". It's supposed to be a parody of a Japanese shampoo ad, but eh, maybe I'm missing the joke because the women in the game don't seem that scary...
"Precious few details are available currently as to what will be included in the demo version of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 when it arrives in September, though it has been suggested that the player will be allowed to experience multiple characters in a single environment. Of course, Electronic Theatre will update you when receive official confirmation."
"TECMO KOEI EUROPE LIMITED has today revealed details of the forthcoming Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Collector’s Edition exclusively for the PLAYSTATION 3. Along with a fantastic value pricing structure, setting the Recommended Retail Price (RRP) at £49.99, the Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Collector’s Edition will release day-and-date with the standard edition on October 2nd 2009, and will be available exclusively at HMV."
In addition to their announcement earlier today about a GameStop exclusive Collector's Edition, Tecmo also announced Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 will be hitting stores in late September.
Along with today's press release are a number of new assets, including screenshots and a long co-op trailer. Should tide you PS3 owners over until God of War III.
More screenshots at the source -- couldn't fit them all in here.
"The most intense, challenging, action-packed ninja adventure is back and arriving exclusively on the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system this fall. The latest installment in the critically acclaimed series, NINJA GAIDEN® SIGMA 2, will be launching September 29, 2009 in North America, followed by Japan and Europe."
"Xbox 360 owners have been enjoying Ninja Gaiden 2 for a whole year already and until now PS3 owners have had to settle for their 'Sigma' version of the first game for their ninja killing fix. Finally an updated version of NG2 is heading to the Sony machine, but while it's bigger and better in almost every respect, there's one thing that's certainly not. Gore."
"What hasn’t yet been revealed is that Tecmo Koei Europe appears to be considering pre-order incentives for the PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive release. Though not discussed in any detail, nor mentioning whether it would be available as a limited edition or with every copy, a spokesperson for Tecmo Koei Europe mentioned that there was a possibility of an incentive being offered, and suggested a comic book might well be a fitting proposition."
"Otherwise of note in the visual department is the increase of flash effects with attacks, and more fluid animation. The two new characters demonstrated, Ayane and Momiji – the former from the Dead or Alive series, the latter from the Nintendo DS’s Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword – are both graceful in their movement and combo structure, and each is distinctive in their moveset."
"The online co-operative mode offers up an arena for a new type of play so in that respect certain campaigns are available online. However, this is our very first attempt at online play and in the future we'll take a look at the possibility of bringing the entire experience online at some point."
"The event began with a presentation highlighting the completion of the merger and the official opening of Tecmo Koei Europe. With KOEI boss Kenji Matsubara in attendance, the new publisher was described as a “new force in games publishing” that plans for “new and vigorous growth in Europe”. The first title to be published by the new company will of course be Ninja Gaiden Σ II."
"In April 2009, KOEI CO., LTD. and TECMO, LTD. merged to form TECMO KOEI HOLDINGS CO., LTD. The combined organization owns and operates a valuable portfolio of universally-praised entertainment properties, a leading distribution system, worldwide network of sales offices, and world-renowned development studios."
Publisher Tecmo have confirmed the upcoming PlayStation 3 port of Ninja Gaiden II will receive a demo come this September.
The game is notable for featuring toned down violence and difficulty from its Xbox 360 cousin.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 will arrive this autumn.
The video showcases Ayane's gameplay and also shows off the fixed camera, no bugs nor glitches and the amount of enemies on screens.
The new trailer showcases another playable character Rachel.
Not only will she be a playable character in Co-oP but will also have her own story in Storymode.
The new Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Demo will be 10 minutes long, and launches on the Playstation 3 store for a E3 bonus. Everyone get ready for an amazing showing from Tecmo because there’s alot more to come.
