Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus Character Details, Gameplay Video

Team Ninja today revealed new information and a new gameplay video for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus, the sequel to its PlayStation Vita launch title that will be available on February 26th.

The addition of the “Hero” play-style first featured in Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus gives every player a chance to play like a hero. With this mode selected, Hayabusa will get temporary advantages when his health runs low, including auto-block, auto-evade, increased damage, and a higher chance to dismember enemies, allowing gamers the chance to turn around a tough situation without interrupting the action.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus features a strong cast of characters, led by Ryu Hayabusa:

  • Ryu Hayabusa: A young ninja of the Hayabusa Clan, Hayabusa is forced to face off with his long-standing rivals, the Black Spider Ninja Clan to prevent the resurrection of the Archfiend.
  • Momiji: The last Dragon Shrine Maiden and an elder sister figure to the children of Hayabusa Village. In addition to her ceremonial duties, she has trained to the rank of a full-fledged kunoichi.
  • Sonia: The alias of a CIA secret agent who attempts to track down Hayabusa to warn him of the plot to resurrect the Archfiend.
  • Muramasa: A legendary master swordsmith and the owner of Muramasa’s Weapons and Tools, Muramasa also owns an antique shop in Sky City Tokyo.
  • Elizébet, Ruler of Blood: The Queen of the Greater Fiends is deeply connected to the Black Spider Ninja Clan and works with Genshin on his schemes.
  • Dagra Dai: This evil priest was originally a human philosopher who underwent a horrific transformation to become the Archfiend’s Infernal High Priest.

Players can look forward to a variety of boss battles in the game. Team Ninja today unveiled the following pantheon of villainous bosses:

  • Genshin: The enemy of the Hayabusa clan has joined causes with Elizébet, Queen of the Greater Fiends, in his quest to take out Hayabusa and his father.
  • Alexei, Ruler of Lightning: One of the Four Greater Fiend Lords, he smites enemies with lightning-fast shocks and charges. Players should focus on evading his attacks before counterattacking.
  • Volf, Ruler of Storms: Another Greater Fiend Lord, this lycanthrope werewolf’s immense strength means most of his attacks cannot be blocked. Players should jump or evade attacks and go in for damage as he recovers.
  • Zedonius, Ruler of Flame: This Greater Fiend Lord attacks Hayabusa with high-damage hellfire and relentless close-range attacks. The key to beating him is reading his next move carefully.
  • Black Dragon: After losing to Hayabusa once before, the massive Black Dragon is summoned by Elizébet to exact its vengeance with a devastating variety of attacks.

Germinator Coming to PSN

Creat Studios today announced Germinator will launch on PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 on March 5th, and shortly thereafter for PlayStation Vita. Creat’s 21st title for PlayStation Network and first for the Vita, Germinator features a character-styled departure from the traditional bubble-popping casual game genre.

Something messy and contagious is festering in suburbia, and only one hero can save the day: The Germinator. Germinator dismisses traditional match-three bubble popping in exchange for combining germ bubble characters of the same color. Upon collision, germ bubbles merge and grow until they pop into a gooey, splotchy, splattering mess.
