Amazon somehow has a bunch of brand new stock of an increasingly rare and amazing game...

Absolutely. I think I've played through it 10-15 times over the last few years. Every time I come back to it I have so much fun. There are still a handful of costumes/skins I have yet to unlock too.

Anybody coming into it for the first time should expect a somewhat janky game, which is typical for an Acquire game. But it's easy to forgive the jank because there are just no other games like it. Truly stealth-focused 3D ninja games are an extreme rarity.

It makes me sad a Shinobido 3 might never happen.

Imagine a sequel that has the alchemy, story routes, replaybility of this one along with an optional CO OP mode where you and your friends can storm a castle and kill people without being seen.

Those satisfying stealth kills need more games.

Item arrived today. Water in the box and under the label. Completely ruined. Anyone else have an issue with this? I'll be returning it to Amazon

Aw, man. Really sorry to hear that. Just bad luck, it seems.

Awesome! Post some impressions in here after you've gotten past the initial jank and used to the flow of the game's mission structure.

Can we get the dancing anime Vita girl wielding a copy of Shinibido 2 and an updated caption, "You got Shinobido 2."

Gone now. Guess I'll keep an eye out to see if more stock trickles in. Still stand by my Vita.

Super tempted only because it's rare.

But I had lots of opportunities to get one at play asia but never did.

You should be tempted by the fact that it's the best ninja stealth game ever made. Unfortunately the Amazon brand new copies are sold out now, but I'd say this is certainly a game worth tracking down however you can.

I'm guessing because it uses the touchscreen for a few things that aren't otherwise mapped to buttons (e.g. picking a lock-on target). I agree it's a shame, though. I've seen people use a whitelist hack to get around it though.

The touchscreen is totally optional. All of the actions can be preformed by button combinations. I think it's a case of the studio not being around to sign off on it, or whatever the hell Sony requires.

I've never played Tenchu but I'm always itching for new stealth games to play, so I'll bite on this.

Just gonna have to scavenge for my Vita, wherever in the recesses of my house it might reside in.

There are a lot of people who rate this game highly - and the reviews at the time don't necessarily reflect this.

Is there any chance the publisher will put this out on steam, I see one of the posts above say the developer no longer exists?

If it comes back in stock i'll consider it but I've just personally spent a lot in the last couple of months, so this has come at a bad time.

Huh. I bought this game used at a GameStop years ago. It's an ok game but definitely repetitive and low budget as another poster said.

Even more impressively, Amazon UK has one copy of the ultra-rare 3DO version!!

I'm confused, none of the online prices for this game look that high. Are people just expecting its value to skyrocket or what exactly?

The twist is the OP is actually the one who had a huge stockpile of copies of the game in their Amazon fulfilled storefront and made this thread to generate immediate sales by touting the game as rare, therefore unloading all of their excess stock :P /s

Well, these were 30 BRAND NEW copies of a launch Vita game that has been delisted from PSN that just appeared on Amazon one day. I think that qualifies as a pretty rare occasion.

As for my motives with this game in particular, I just absolutely love it and want as many people to play it as possible.

So this game is listed on the pan store but you can't actually buy it. Was this delisted?

Just placed my order. Been a game I've been looking forward to playing for some time. Now's the time I suppose.

Also, its the #1 Bestseller for PS Vita games currently on Amazon lol.

I loved Tenchu, but a Vita game is a no-go for me as I have no interest in that handheld.

Thanks for reminding me about this game, OP. I actually managed to find a physical copy here in Brazil (the only 1 left at the story, I only found another used copy listed on a different site) and snagged it.

Can't wait to play!

I remember playing this game on my Vita. Was quite fun and a great game. Don't think I ever got the dlc as it didn't look that interesting
