EGM admits typo: Ninja Gaiden 2 not coming to PS3

The latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) says Team Ninja‘s Ninja Gaiden 2 is for both Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 platforms, but according to EGM’s previews editor Bryan Intihar, that tidbit is just a typo. More on this at the full article.

If you grabbed a copy of Electronic Gaming Monthly‘s (EGM) latest issue, one small detail may have raised your eyebrow. Among its pages is Team Ninja‘s Ninja Gaiden 2, which is listed not as an exclusive on the Microsoft Xbox 360, but a cross-platform title that will also appear on the Sony PlayStation 3. According to EGM’s previews editor Bryan Intihar, however, that snippet is just a product of a typographical error.

Intihar posted on a thread over at the NeoGAF forums, clarifying that the gaming magazine  made a mistake. A part of his forum post read, “this was just a mistake on our end (damn those late-night deadlines!). NG2–as far as I know–is only coming to the 360.”

Publisher Tecmo indeed haven’t made any official announcements regarding a PS3 version of Ninja Gaiden 2. Some may remember that Team Ninja did state when the ninjutsu-powered title was first unveiled that it is a 360 exclusive, and it’s developed using an in-house engine designed to make games for Microsoft’s console.
