Did you know that today is the Annual Day of the Ninja? So if you've been waiting for an excuse to flip out, hit on ninja babes, and assassinate pirates, consider today your excuse.
Electronic Arts is celebrating this sacred holiday by revealing new screenshots and details for its newest party game, Ninja Reflex. Developed by newcomer studio Sanzaru Games (former Activision developers), Ninja Reflex will feature "a series of martial arts challenges to test gamers' reflexes and measure their reaction times with millisecond precision." Up to four players will be able to participate, sharpening their skills and speed in this mashup of Brain Age and ninjitsu action.
The minigames shown so far are predictable, ranging from catch-a-fly-with-chopsticks contests to shuriken-throwing competitions. Hopefully, the final product will have more interesting activities -- and online support, too! Creep into our gallery under the cover of night and check out some of the screenshots EA has made available. Go ninja, go ninja, go!
[Thanks, Troy]

Too many minigame compilations. This would be cooler if it was an actual game... seriously, give us a great ninja game and then I'll be happy.

No such thing as a ninja game... at least, not much.
As far as I can tell, Tenchu's the only real one... other than that: Why the heck would a ninja run into there with swords blazing and fighting people head-on???
Not saying those games aren't fun. Just saying it's just ridiculous to make a ninja running in there, commando-style.
Fun, but ridiculous.
... as for this game? : Sounds fun. :)

That isn't a ninja game. Some stealth game about committing an assassin or something. The Wiimote could make it quite interesting.

What isn't a ninja game? Tenchu?
And I'm sure Ninja Gaiden is more of a ninja game. O_o
If you were talking about this game: I never said it was a ninja game, I just said it would be fun.
