mini swords, mini shuriken, Mini Ninjas: 09/08/09

Danish developer IO Interactive (Hitman, Freedom Fighters, Kane & Lynch)


is set to release its' latest in, Mini Ninjas, a single player only, 3rd person action-adventure game published by Eidos and Warner Bros. The game is set in Japan before westernization so it's full of ninjas and samurai. Play as Hiro, Futo, Suzume and others in your quest to stop an evil samurai warlord that has learned how to use ancient forbidden techniques to turn innocent animals (from rabbits and foxes, to pandas and rhinos) into his evil henchmen; all the while agitating nature; creating horrendous storms and destructive phenomena.

IO Interactive is retained by Japanese owned, Square Enix, the pioneers of RPG video games.


So their resources, and affinity for game quality have definitely been met; plus IO created the game on their Glacier graphics engine - fully equipped with Havok Physics. The game's rich colors and contrasting backgrounds combined with cell-shading produce a "pop" effect. And the artistic representations really create the feeling of being in an old Japanese painting.

Mini Ninjas releases:


  • North America: September 8

  • Europe: September 11

Available for:

  • DS, PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox360

  • ESRB E 10+ (crude humor, and cartoon violence)
