Tenchu celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with the fourth canonical game in the series. There's been numerous Tenchu adjuncts on the NDS, PSP, mobile phones, and the Xbox 360 but only three games in the Tenchu canon thus far. The first three Tenchu games were all on Playstation consoles but the fourth game is a Wii exclusive. Rikimaru and Ayame are back as stealth assassins who skulk in dark places and attack with sword slashes and one-hit killing blows. Tenchu 4 emphasizes the use of stealth and the game provides a bevy of shadowy places to hide, wait, and attack from. The environments are darkly lit which also attend to a ninja's need for stealth. Unsuspecting enemies who approach Rikimaru's general vicinity but are unaware of his presence may be killed with a single killing stroke. Tenchu's original developer Acquire returns to the franchise that they built and is developing Tenchu 4 with Wii Remote and Nunchuk waving controls so players can eviscerate enemies with realistic stabbing motions. In addition to close-range slicing, Rikimaru can throw stars at enemies to wound them or kill them entirely. For fast movement from area to area, Riki and Aya can perform a barrel roll where they tumble quickly under the noses of unsuspecting targets.
