Twenty years ago a gaming icon was born. A ninja. Originally unknown to the world, gamers everywhere now know him as Ryu Hayabusa–star of today’s hottest new release Ninja Gaiden II.
As the warrior Ryu steps into the shadows never to return again, we look back at his origins and humble beginnings. From the arcade, a brief stint at Sega, his wonder years at Nintendo and the new generation of HD-limb separating on the Xbox 360. This is his legacy, his legend, his history of violence.

First 39k pre-orders get the “Fiend Hayabusa” costume, which makes you look well ‘ard.

In lieu of any sort of collectors edition, Ninja Gaiden 2 appears to be getting all manner of pre-order bonuses. First it was Circuit City giving away the Halo 3 Legendary maps with a pre-order, and now it’s Walmart and Amazon, getting into the act with their own pre-order trinkets. In a similar move to the one with Iron Man, Ninja Gaiden 2 can be bought with a $10 gift card thrown in (Amazon). And if you really like the box art than you could pre-order from, *shudder* Walmart, who are giving away a wall scroll of the box art with their pre-order. Really, with so many games getting collectors editions these days, just give one of those Microsoft! Hey, it’s Ninja Gaiden, we’d buy it.
