Like Cursor*10, But With Ninjas

Here's another PSP game that snuck out in Japan while I wasn't paying attention -- Silicon Studio's Onore no Shinzuru Michi wo Yuke (loosely translated as Conquer the Road of Your Beliefs). As you can tell after a minute into this trailer, the game plays a lot like Nekogames's Cursor*10, the creative but hard to explain Flash puzzle game that has players directing a cursor around a series of stages, working with past playthroughs to find an exit for each level.

Onore no Shinzuru Michi wo Yuke replaces the cursors with ninjas, adds Ukiyo-e-style art, and also throws in enemies for the ninjas to attack together. Other than that, it's pretty much Cursor*10. That makes sense, considering Nekogames' Ishii Yoshio, who created the web game, also worked on this PSP title.

Unfortunately, no publisher has announced any plans to bring this stateside yet. But considering the nature of the game, I imagine that importers won't have much difficulty figuring out what to do in the game. You can watch Onore no Shinzuru Michi wo Yuke's stylish opening movie below:
