Mini Ninjas, published in the UK by Eidos, will be available from for the Wii, Nintendo DS, PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. Developed by IO Interactive, Mini Ninjas will take you on a journey to feudal Japan where you’ll join Hiro, Futo, and the rest of the ninja clan on their biggest ninja adventure ever, as they embark on an epic and electrifying quest to restore harmony to a world on the brink of chaos.

You play one of three characters with different abilities and you can magically switch between them at any time: the ‘normal’ ninja that is both stealthy and a master of the sword; his female equivalent, less strong but more agile; or the big guy who plows right through enemies and hammers them out of existence. Your task is to free as many animals as you can on your way to the evil guy, as you will often encounter caged animals waiting to be turned into evil minions, but defeating minions also frees the animal inside so there’s essentially no killing in the game – a mechanic that’s been used before to make it more friendly to the younger gamers.
