One of the only announcements for Nintendo fans at that terrible awards show the other night was Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. It’s releasing this coming summer for the Nintendo Switch (and we can assume the Switch 2).
It’s an all-new 2D sidescroller from the beat-em-up professionals at Dotemu (TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge) and The Game Kitchen (Blasphemous). And, much like the modern TMNT game from Dotemu, the game looks fantastic.
Our story begins when Ryu Hayabusa journeys to America to honor his father’s will. While he is away, the barrier between the human and the demon worlds suddenly shatters, unleashing a terrifying army upon the Hayabusa Village, which now faces an unprecedented threat in Ryu’s absence.
