Review Samurai Sword Destiny (3DSWare)

No ninja, no ninja, no
There's been a lot of ballyhoo about the death of the dedicated handheld at the hands of smartphones and tablets, and given the amount of doom-and-gloom headlines penned about portables in the past year it can be easy to think that the chair has been kicked so forcefully out from under them that it's shattered against the...

News eShop Meets Its Samurai Sword Destiny on 5th January

With the help of dozens of upgrades available to enhance her fighting abilities, Akane just might have a fighting chance against the forces that stand in her path!

Seeing as how there's no review yet you can head over to the forums to check out people's impressions of it. It's not a masterpiece of a game, but it looks good in 3D and it's a fun brawler, if your into that sort of thing.
