DS #4158: Mini Ninjas (USA)

[Gigen]

the trailer looked nice on tv

i'll try it out

well if the trailer is good it doesn't mean the game is good aswell, don't judge games with the trailers.
Anyway i saw the screens and it looks like you have to touch shit while you are playing, like super dodgeball ds.... that's not funny

I Think ill pass on this

It's finally here. i have been waiting for this for a year. all that is left now is scribblenauts, kingdom hearts 358/2 days and zelda spirit tracks. and i agree with Rhcpmikey the cutscenes are good and the graphics are aswell.

Why should he prove it, why not just try it.
Anyway been playing for about 20 mins, doesn't seem to bad. The graphics are ok, the walls are a bit blocky, not much detail close up and the controls, all on the d pad are fairly responsive, sometimes they seem to get little stuck.
Haven't had to do any fighting yet but I'd say it looks like a fun game to pass the time till all big hitters arrive.

Edit - Done some fighting, it's alright, aiming with the shurikens a bit hit and miss though.

 

[Rhcpmikey]

The game is really good. The fighting works verry good and its fun like the PS3-version.

Great game!

Checking this out now.

Hoping the curse of Donato's Hype Machine died a violent and horrible death along with whatever fun was forgotten to be programmed in Marker Man Adventures.

This is quite good, but I expected more from the trailers... Well, I guess I can't do anything about that, huh?

 

[Hadrian]

Seems that the reviews were right, sadly.

I am so bored with this game, I'm really finding it hard to find the need to keep on playing other then for the hope that there is a good game in here. I can see people here liking it more but then people here seem to like things that seem average at best. Certainly not a "buyer" that is for sure...thankfully we have other options.

I guess I'm overly picky when it comes to spending my precious gaming time but to me if a game like this doesn't grab you after 30 minutes then it never will. If you have lots of time to play games then you might enjoy it more I guess.

It seems rushed and unfinished, as if the developers only had a short amount of time to make it.

 

[KevInChester]

It has potential, some bits are enjoyable so far. Though the cut scenes seem to drag on a bit too much, the text stays on screen for slightly too long and ruins the pace of the game.

I tried it out. It's really good and everyone wants to be a ninja, right?

What is really awesome that it also has Single-Card Multiplayer (dunno about Multi-Card) in which you can duel your friend.

Now I know why certain game critics use made up adjectives, such as "wonky" and "janky." This game is so disappointing thus far. The controls work most of the time, but often I'll be pushing diagonally downward, yet Hiro will continue to move upward onscreen. Wall running is very hit or miss, and the objectives aren't presented clearly. And the camera has occasionally completely obscured my view of Hiro while in battle, leaving me looking skyward. It also doesn't help that the game is fugly as can be.

Well, 20 min is not enough, every game is good for the first 20 mins (except few ones).

 

[vgamesloja]

thanks good game

 

[Civori]

Hmm, this game looks rather interesting. I may check it out, unsure though. Once Pokemon get's dumped I'll be a happy soul

I was only trying to give some first impressions with the rest of the post, I wasn't trying to prove whether it was good or bad. Why don't you try it, unless you're thinking of buying it in which case I'd say don't.

The reliable September game rush every year is the only thing that makes me look forward to my birthday. Thank you game companies. Definitely gonna try this one it looks fun.

OMG =O you have the same birthday as me x3
but yeah i like this game so far nice gameplay but there's not much of a penalty for dying, not even exp loss.

Will the sequel be 'Mini Pirates'?

Will the sequel be 'Mini Pirates'?

Hopefully, there won't be a sequel -- at least not one by Magic Pockets. The game is ass.

To be fair, though, the spirit-world parts, with the Japanese ink painting, are almost amazing. It's like two completely different games.

How did you get past painting bit, I completely stuck. Got as far as this cloud floating up and down and now I don't know what to do.
