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...

Looks inferior to the other Samurai game coming to the eShop, but since I hate the genre anyway...
Looks interesting enough who doesnt love samurai's ? haha

Huh, that's a shame, the game kinda looks dope but... that review score ain't filling me with confidence
