Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus Gets New Features On PlayStation Vita

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is headed to the PlayStation Vita next year, and Tecmo Koei released screenshots from the Vita version of the game this morning. Take a look at them below.

The Vita version of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus has a new feature called Tag Mission mode, which allows you to switch between two characters, while defending the AI-controlled one. Another new mode is Ninja Race, where you compete with enemies to race toward an end goal, while cutting things down along the way and picking up items to enhance your speed and attack power.

Finally, Ayane, Rachel and Momiji will have new costumes for the game. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus will also make use of the Vita’s front and rear touch capabilities, along with its motion control feature.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is slated for release in the U.S. in Q1 2013.
