It must be cool to be a ninja.  You get to be as stealthy as a cat, as silent as the darkness, and as deadly as a snake.  But being a Mini Ninja is even cooler; you get to be all those things and be as cute as a button.  Eidos’ adorable action title, Mini Ninjas, is due for a September 8 release, but a new trailer hit the interweb-o-sphere, showcasing plenty of varied and ridiculously cute gameplay.

That is one cute-ass bear.  The game obviously looks awesome, and each new video pushes me closer and closer to a pre-order, but I’m afraid that its cuteness may significantly lower my testosterone count.  Oh well, at least you get to kill people with swords and ninja magic. 

Press release follows.
