N+ Handheld, Because You Always Wanted a Pocket Ninja!
Pocket Ninja’s kick ass! I wish I would have had a pocket ninja when I went through middle school. Not many kids messed with me because I wore camouflage, but knowing I had a pocket ninja on me would be enough to boost my self confidence through that horrible stage of life. I’d get the girls. I’d be able to climb the rope in gym. I’d be a rockstar in home economics! (do they still have that?) My braces would be invisible. My mid-class farts would be silent…and deadly…and mysteriously seem to come from the kid next me. School would be everything I remembered it to be, minus all the embarrassment.
Kids these days are lucky. They DO have pocket ninjas! Just in time for back-to-school too. Now kids (of all ages) will have the self-esteem kick they need to get them through the daily 8 to 3 (or 8 to 5 if you’re the adult kind of kid). The very addictive, and very fun N+ is coming to both the DS and PSP on August 26th. And get ready for this ninjas: both versions are only $19.99! (suggest retail price) Perfect for any lunch money budget.
N+ is a platformer starring, surprise, a ninja. You must run and jump through various levels of mazes full of traps and baddies. The portable version comes from the cult favorite flash game of the same title for the web.
There are some flash games that are worthy of console versions, and N+ is absolutely one of them. Being published by Atari, N+ isn’t just a run-of-mill cut version from the web either. Silverbirch, the producers of the game, added a good dose of extras to give a little extra umph to your pocket ninja. The single player mode has over 200 homework-avoiding levels, and the co-op mode has over 100 levels to keep those library study sessions productive. And in case you wanna pick a fight such as: “my pocket ninja is better than your pocket ninja”, there’s a new versus mode too! Over 50 levels of ninja-vs-ninja action to prove your pocket ninja is nothing to be messed with.
A huge feature I’m looking forward to is the included level editor. Yeah, N+ levels aren’t anything extravagant. Some walls, blocks, spikes, dangerous pits, robots, etc. They all look like they were drawn by Napoleon Dynamite. But that’s the beauty of it! These levels are so simple that even *I* would feel confident creating a few. I swear I have notebooks full of similar line drawings from my school days. I wonder if I can find them, they’d be perfect N+ levels! My first level will basically be a picture of a liger.
So, kids, get your pocket ninja in time for school. As I mentioned above it goes on sale August 26th for both the DS and PSP.
