GDC 08: Ninja Gaiden 2 screenshots, demo video

Didn’t get into GDC this year? All is not lost, as we’re making sure that we bring the experience right to you via our news updates – and such is the case with this Ninja Gaiden 2 update direct from the Games Developer Conference. Prepare for full ocular ecstasy as a full-length video of the demo (as well as some screenshots) show off what could be one of the most awesome-looking games of all time. All of them after the jump!

If you’re one of the many who didn’t quite make it to this year’s Game Developers Conference but want to get in on some Ninja Gaiden 2 joy from Tecmo, then you’re in luck with this particular update. Not only do we have five high-quality screenshots for you, but a video of the entire demo being played – and suffice to say, it’s digital ambrosia all the way. It’s just that awesome.

Looking at Ninja Gaiden 2‘s screenshots (and the video as well), it seems that Ryu Hayabusa is shaping up to be the very, very formidable contender to being one of the video game industry’s slickest (and definitely most badass) protagonists. Sure, Travis may have his rough-and-ready lightsaber combat, Dante and Nero may have their smashmouth fighting styles with the cheesy one-liners, but there’s nothing like seeing a ninja flipping out and killing everything in style.

Enjoy the video and screenshots!
