Nin-2 Jump Comes With A Built-In Audience
April 22, 2011 4:00 PM | Eric Caoili
Japanese developer Cave, who you'l mostly know from its bullet hell shoot'em ups like DoDonPachi and Espgaluda, debuted this new extended trailer for Nin-2 Jump, accompanied by a silhouetted audience of kids cheering the platformer on.
As Andriasang points out, the audience has actually been integrated into the game, like in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The idea is that the Nin-2 Jump is presented as a "shadow play", and the children react to your in-game performance.
Cave in giving this trailer a theater feel: there's the film-style Cave logo opening, closing credits for noteworthy characters (bosses), and even a blooper reel during those credits!
Nin-2 Jump will release for XBLA on April 27 for 400 MS Points -- Cave will donate all the game's sales to the Red Cross to support earthquake/tsunami relief efforts in Japan.

As if I didn't already love Cave enough, this is just pure class on their part. Not only does the game look really fun, but it's going to be released for super cheap AND Cave is using the proceeds to benefit Japan's relief efforts. Kudos to Cave!
