Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360) screenshots and teaser trailer revealed

New Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360) screenshots have hit the web.

We knew it had to come sooner or later given that series producer Tomonobu Itagaki already confirmed Ninja Gaiden 2’s existence. But now it looks like actual screenshots of the next game in the series (back on Xbox 360) have finally surfaced. And it’s about time, seems we’ve been waiting way too long for these as Team Ninja continued to milk their franchise (here’s looking at Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the PS3).

The origin of these new screenshots apparently comes from a Japanese Xbox 360 site who briefly posted the images before they were quickly yanked down. Of course, the damage had already been done and several sites are now displaying the gloriously bloody screenshots for all of you to admire, including us (view all the images below).

It has not yet been confirmed whether these screenshots are actually from Ninja Gaiden 2 or not. But given the excessive amount of blood and gore (and flying limbs) I’d reckon that these ARE real screenshots from the actual sequel and NOT another version of the first Ninja Gaiden, because if they were, that would be (in the almighty words of Bill O’Reilly) “ridiculous”.

Update: First teaser trailer for Ninja Gaiden 2 added! Microsoft has also confirmed at their TGS briefing that Ninja Gaiden 2 is an Xbox 360 exclusive that will hit in 2008.

Watch this trailer in HD.

gotta play everything before cause… word has it that a ninja is involved in this series. I don´t know

Honestly… is this game really worth it? Cause when I wanna play a game nobody ever yells Ninja Gaiden. I hear GearsOW, God of War, MGS, RE4, FF, etc. Ninja Gaiden amazingly never comes up. Maybe it just happens to me.
