Eidos grabs Ninja Gaiden PS3

Eidos has confirmed that it will distribute Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PlayStation 3 this summer.

As you'll know if you've been stalking our previous coverage, Sigma brings together all the best bits of Ninja Gaiden: Black on Xbox along with revamped animations, backgrounds, enemies and characters, and promises 60fps performance in 720p resolution - as well as a hard-disk-install option to keep things running smoothly.

"This is a really exciting opportunity for [Eidos owner] SCi and Tecmo," Jane Cavanagh, SCi CEO, told the City. "Ninja Gaiden is one of the most respected game franchises around and now we have the opportunity to bring Ninja Gaiden Sigma to PS3 consumers throughout Europe."
