Io Interactive of Hitman fame and Kane & Lynch infamy, are preparing to release quite the stealthy attack upon the PlayStation 3 this Fall when their upcoming title, Mini Ninjas hits retail shelves. Unlike their previous titles, Io Interactive is going in a unique direction this time around pitting a group of mini ninjas against their fierce Samurai rivals.

Gamers take the role of Hiro, a proud mini ninja who, aligned with his friends, prepare for a vast journey across the world on their way to the final showdown with the Evil Samurai Warlord. Where does this final battle take place? In his Fortress of Doom, of course. As though it could be any other way. It's apparent that the storyline won't be the selling point for this franchise, but the trailer shows a lot of potential to say the least.

We've included the trailer below.

    So, let me get this straight. They skip making a New Hitman or Kane And Lynch game for this crap? And they wonder why they aren't doing as well financially as they'd hope.

    I don't care what anybody says, I liked Kane and Lynch. Aside from the cover mechanic, loved every minute of it.

     First day buy for me, and only because it's the first danish ninja game ever :P

    I also got the feeling of there's going to be more to the story than such. Besides, I-Ninja was one of the best PS2 games ever! :P I got a 100% on it, and I think I spend over 40 hours on it!
