Following confirmation at the beginning of April that Tecmo’s Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword would be making the leap across to Europe, today, reports Cubed3, that the critically acclaimed adventure will somersault into stores in early June.

Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword is one of a rare breed of Nintendo Ds games that relies heavily on the console’s touch screen for almost every element of the protagonist, Ryu’s movement. A combination of line-drawing and tapping in different directions will see him slashing his sword, jumping and performing magical spells.

As many critics have already pointed out, it’s not the most extensive of games in terms of longevity (you’ll race through it in between 6 and 7 hours), but it’s certainly a title that shines in quality over quantity.
