IO Interactive reveals Mini Ninjas, trailer and screenshots galore
IO Interactive has quite the pedigree when it comes to action titles: The Hitman series. Freedom Fighters. Kane & Lynch. So how does a cutesy little game like Mini Ninjas fit into the equation? I have no idea. The only reason I can think of is, well, everybody loves ninjas. Except maybe pirates.

Anyway, Mini Ninjas is the latest game from IO Interactive. Players will take on the role of Hiro in a quest to restore harmony to a world and kick some evil Samurai ass in the process. Players also get to use Kuji magic (it can turn enemies into pandas!) and enlist the help of Hiro’s Ninja friends on the way to the final showdown with the Evil Samurai Warlord in his Fortress of Doom. Wow. That’s some great naming right there.
Seriously, though, Mini Ninjas certainly doesn’t look like it can appeal to IO’s core demographic, but this is IO we’re talking about here! I’m keeping my fingers crossed, hoping for something deeper than what the trailer and screenshots below offer at face value. Mini Ninjas is currently scheduled for a Fall 2009 release on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, and PC.
