GearCrave Giveaway: Ninja Gaiden II (10 Copies Available!)

The original Ninja Gaiden for the NES console was one of the most popular and memorable titles of its time. What started with side-scrolling, 8-bit martial action has evolved into Ninja Gaiden II, the long-awaited sequel to the original classic. While there have been other Ninja Gaiden releases since that original, this game is expected to bring this video game franchise back to a cult influence. Ninja Gaiden II was released today for the Xbox 360 console, the most anticipated release since Grand Theft Auto IV. GearCrave has teamed up with Tecmo to celebrate this release by giving away 10 free copies of Ninja Gaiden II to GearCrave readers. Want to get yours? Continue reading after the break to learn how!

Tuesday, June 3, 2008 1:11PM
Wow how far we have come. I remember Having a hard time playing this game because I couldn’t get the cartridge to work. I would blow on it endlessly to no avail. ALL of you NES fans should know exactly what I am talking about.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008 1:13PM
I’d dig a free copy — it’s been awhile since I’ve brutally eviscerated werewolves and demons with an assortment of ninja skills and armaments.
Tuesday, June 3, 2008 1:15PM

I guess I’m too late. I would have loved a copy of Ninja Gaiden II. I downloaded the free demo from XBox Live last week. This game rocks!! I love the new weapons and the new select feature with the “D pad”. Can’t wait to play the full version.
