Mini Ninjas Xbox 360 Screenshots, Release Date

The quirky brawler Mini Ninjas has been on our radar for a while after Eidos Interactive announced the project back in January. At that time, all we had was a flashy cinematic trailer and a vague idea about what the game would be about (tiny ninjas, obviously). Now, Eidos has announced that the game, which is headed to the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms, will be available in stores this fall. They have also released some new in-game screenshots, which you can check out below.

The story sounds compelling enough: "When the Evil Samurai Warlord, with the help of an ancient magic, turns forest animals in to an army hell bent on world domination, Hiro must lead his small band of Ninjas on an exciting journey through a disintegrating world, to battle the magical hordes of twisted Samurai and eventually confront the Warlord in his Fortress of Doom."

The journey to the Fortress of Doom is long and dangerous adventure that will take Hiro and his Ninja friends through a large and detailed world which includes bamboo forests, snowy mountains, treacherous castle interiors and flooded valleys. Players will need to use their various ninja skills, potions, magic and to defeat enemies large and small.

The latest batch of Xbox 360 screenshots are included below. They don't look like they are pushing the hardware very hard, but the game has a nice, colorful, light-hearted style. We will definitely bring you more on Mini Ninjas as soon as we get a chance at some actual gameplay.
