Game Description
Action and stealth combine on the DS for an all-new Tenchu adventure! Trapped in a village at war, ninjas Rikimaru and Ayame must defend a young princess from a ruthless warlord. Choose your ninja, take to the shadows, and punish your enemies without mercy. Plant traps, hunt foes with your sword at the ready, or attack with a variety of ninja weapons. In a Tenchu first, you can even steal items from your enemies and use them to make traps or construct deadly weapons. Take on three friends in wireless multiplayer matches, or buy, sell and trade items via Nintendo Wi-Fi.
