Siliconera's hands on with the title tells us it isn't announced for a US release as of yet. Spike (the publisher of Shinobido 2) hopes to find a overseas publishers.

Oh very cool

I always wanted to play the PS2 version after I read the topic on gaf about it.

Hopefully this one is localized in the US

same here.

 

[TacticalFox88]

FUCK! I read it as "Shinobi 2" ((((((

 

[Totobeni]

Yeah Hell, Shinobido Way of the Ninja on PS2 game was so awesome.

 

[rollingstart]

super stoked about this

This and Gravity Daze are what I want most on the Vita. Both the PS2 and PSP set of games are radical.

[Discotheque]

FUCK! I read it as "Shinobi 2" ((((((

Yeah I thought it was a misspelling

Megaman Legends all but confirmed I was gonna get a 3DS at some point in time. But with that looming on the chance of not even getting greenlit I'm waiting on a hacknslasher a la Devil May Cry, Itagaki game, Bayonetta or Shinobi on Vita.

It's a race to capture my interest on these handhelds. Not excited for handheld Uncharted or other PS3 franchises.

 

[Rikyfree]

CALLED IT! BTW Day 1 for both this and Vita and Uncharted. I still want my Tenchu PS3, Acquire.

 

[Irish]

Heh, I called that in Mumble earlier when we were watching the conference.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Shinobido is literally the only time stealth and ninja work for me in a video game.

 

[EXGN]

Oh hell yes! One of my favorite PS2 games, this is a megaton in my eyes.

 

[UrbanRats]

FUUUUUUuuu.
I wanted it for the Ps3, fuck, now i have to buy the Vita just for this, goddamit.

 

[Ozzykamikaze]

Was the first game any good?

 

[Busaiku]

I initially saw the "Ninja" in the subtitle and thought Team Ninja.

 

[Shaheed79]

PS2 game was awesome. Better than Tenchu imo. What is the battery life of Vita? I may have to get one.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'm excited to see how this turns out.

 

[UrbanRats]

Was the first game any good?

Yes it was.

 

[Necromanti]

Oh SHIIIIIIIT, so this was the Tenchu-esque game I saw.
I loved the first one. I can't believe it got such shitty reviews.

 

[Forearm Star]

Loving the subtle hints of 3rd party support!
Can't wait for info on release dates for all these goodies

 

[Ozzykamikaze]

Yes it was.

Ahh cool, thanks.

I saw it mentioned before and checked Amazon. Unfortunately 70 bucks for a used import. I'm a sucker for ninja games.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Sweet. Bring that shit over here.

 

[IrishNinja]

FUCK! I read it as "Shinobi 2" ((((((

you and many of us, too.
then again, we already got an awesome part 3.

 

[Yurt]

YES GOD SHINOBI 2 FUCKING FINALLY !!

SHINOBI 2 ..SHINOBIDO..IDO....what ? *quits thread*

 

[Takao]

Loving the subtle hints of 3rd party support!

Very subtle, as this most likely will be published by Sony...

 

[sykoex]

YES GOD SHINOBI 2 FUCKING FINALLY !!

SHINOBI 2 ..SHINOBIDO..IDO....what ? *quits thread*

Yeah I was seriously hoping this was a sequel to Shinobi on PS2.

Not sure how I feel about the game itself, the stealth stuff reminds me of Tenchu.

 

[Eiji]

Level editor please

 

[Smo21]

I thought it was Tenchu.

 

[Hellion]

Maybe DMC psp lives on in DMC Vita?

 

[Tain]

fuck, i guess i'm in

Shinobido was very good, and Sega's in no state to make Shinobi 2, so confused people should just buy this game anyway.

Was the first game any good?

it was ass ugly and a little too easy but ultimately fuck yes it was

 

[sixteen-bit]

Maybe DMC psp lives on in DMC Vita?

Was DMC PSP ever shown anywhere?

 

[MightyKAC]

Fuck yeah!!! I loved this game on the psp. Ever since the Tenchu series jumped the shark with 4 I've been itching for a new stealth ninja game fix.

Day. Fucking. One.

 

[Akainu]

Was DMC PSP ever shown anywhere?

I don't even think it was ever announced.

I thought it was Tenchu.

I did too. But looking at it haven't the recent Tenchu games used that. Third person over the shoulder prospective.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

I thought that's what it was when I first seen it. Loved the Shinobido PS2/PSP games so will definitely buy this one.

 

[Gintoki]

I didn't recognize it at first as well. Looking forward to it

 

[djtiesto]

Shinobido is literally the only time stealth and ninja work for me in a video game.

Ninja almost always works for me in a video game...

Spoiler

except Legend of Kage NES obviously

 

[Kaizer]

I always wanted to play Shinobido but sadly it never came to US waters.

 

[Ahoi-Brause]

This is the main reason for me to buy the vita... oh man I love shinobido.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

SHUT AND TAKE MY MONEY SONY!

Seriously, I did not give two shits about Vita until Wipeout 2048 and now this.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Any more media outside of the montage?

 

[D2M15]

Any more media outside of the montage?

Even given how rough the original Shinobido titles looked, this seems more proof-of-concept than anything else (although at least it has a draw distance!) - so I'd guess this is the last we'll see until TGS.

 

[AAK]

I don't even think it was ever announced

The producer said it was in development during an interview back in the PSP infant years if i recall correctly.

 

[BomberMouse]

I thought it was Tenchu.

It's better than tenchu and is made by the developers of the original PSX tenchu games.

 

[iconoclast]

Sweet, glad to see there's a ninja game on the horizon that might be good.

 

[Suzzopher]

Awesome. Loved the PSP one, despite it being a bit shit.

I loved Shinobido on PS2 and PSP, but it looks like they've fixed my only real criticism - it was a bit too fast and twitchy at times. Hopefully this is a launch game because I want it ASAP.

 

[rollingstart]

Looks great. Looks like Acquire portable games have made the jump from PS1 to PS2 graphics! but who cares, this will be awesome.

 

[BadWolf]

Uncharted, Gravity Daze and Shinobido 2 (friggin love stealth games)? I've never done this before but the Vita looks more and more like a day 1 purchase for me.

 

[Phantast2k]

So damn ugly
