Wow, these came out of nowhere.  Xbox Japan has posted the first screens of the highly anticipated Xbox 360 action sequel.  Things have been so quiet on the game’s development front that some of us were wondering if it was even happening.  Well wonder no longer.  Judging a game’s graphical finesse on a handful of still shots is always a fool’s errand, but I’ll bite anyway.  Ninja Gaiden 2 is looking nice…really nice.  The game doesn’t look like a monumental jump technically over Ninja Gaiden Sigma, but then remember the finesse and the still shots and the fool’s errand thing.  Itagaki’s latest will surely be a thing of beauty in motion.  For now, enjoy this little taste and expect to hear a lot more at this month’s Tokyo Game Show.  Oh, and hit the link for the rest of the screens, and gallons of arterial spray.
