Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword brings a whole new perspective and action to the Nintendo DS! Use the Stylus to propel master Ninja Ryu Hayabusa into action. Drag and tap the Stlyus to run, jump, and attack, or trace out special symbols to use ninja magic. Learn special combo moves to trigger special attacks like the Izuna Drop and Cicada Slash that have been destroying enemies in Ninja Gaiden console games. But the real twist comes with the DS itself, which you'll hold like a book to view the action in all-new ways. Experience lush environments, a new storyline, and as much fast-paced Ninja Gaiden action as you can handle!
