Kage Densetsu: The Legend of Kage 2 - New Import

Ninja shenanigans resume this Spring when Taito revives The Legend of Kage for a new generation of gamers. Players control a bare-chested ninja named Kage who jumps across obstacles, swings across ceilings, and throws stars at fiends to dispatch them. Kage attacks with conventional blows but he can call upon special flaming attacks to get out of hairy situations.

A second playable ninja named Chihiro is armed with a spear with a hook at the end. Chihiro's secondary weapon is a chain of sorts which she throws out. She's just as versatile as Kage in terms of mobility and attack skills. The game utilizes both NDS screens for an vertical aspect gaming experience where enemy ninjas attack from above and from the sides. Interaction sequences take place on the top screen for added dramatics.
