Ninja Gaiden II weapons broken down

by Richard Mitchell { Apr 10th 2008 at 4:30PM }

Appropriately enough, said weapons are excellent at breaking things down themselves (demons in particular). IGN has posted an article detailing all the weapons they've discovered thus far in their six level build of Ninja Gaiden II (we want a six level build of Ninja Gaiden II! Pleeeeeease, Microsoft?). Old standbys like the Dragon Sword and Lunar Staff make a return and are joined by several new weapons that are sure to become favorites. While we're sure many will opt for the Falcon's Talons, a set of blades for Ryu's hands and feet, we're most intrigued by the Kusari-gama, a sweet looking sickle and chain combo (pictured above). With a chain that can reach "almost clear across the screen," it's definitely one of the most interesting weapons revealed thus far. Head over to IGN for in depth descriptions of all the weapons they've found so far.

I must admit, I never really cared about this game, but with all this coverage on X3F, I am reeeeeeally looking forward it now! That sickle weapon looks awesome!

I wish that IGN guy actually took the time to find out what a kusarigama is, and that it has existed before the vigoorial flails. Kusarigama is not a modification of vigoorian flails -_-

Things keep getting better. One weapon I always hoped for were Sai's. That would be cool. Close in stabbing for all.

This is a damned good and pretty popular blog, in my completely uninformed opinion, and it's an exclusive title.

It doesn't make much sense to withhold one from you, especially when the write ups from the people who did get it are lousy (hey normally-good-Kotaku, I'm looking in your direction.)

zomg! i've been waiting for a distance-chained weapon! this reminds me of Anubis's weapon in Ronin Warriors. Ever since that show, I've fallen in love with chained weapons! This will definitely be my favorite!
