This is bugging me. There’s a demo for the forthcoming Daimyo-Total-War-esque thing Takeda 3 out. I know I haven’t played one of the other Takeda games. I do know that I played something that looked so identical to it for a demo write up here and can’t remember it at… oh, wait a minute. It was Sango 2. And they do look identical. The biggest difference I can see without playing – as (er) I’m busy playing another Total War-esque game today. Yes, the very Total War-esque one with the muskets – is that Sango 2 had a 1.3 gig demo whilst Takeda 3 has a 800Mb one. Less content or improved Magitech compression tech? It’s hard to tell. Anyway – details on the game on Takeda 3′s site proper and you can download it from here. Hurrah for (er) demos.
It features Ninja Houses. They look like this. They have Ninjas inside, presumably, which must make them easier to find than legend would have it.
Did anyone ever do a Samurai mod for M:TW or R:TW?
Shogun kept crashing for me and I didn’t like the controls anyway.

..tiny, tiny ninjas

As I keep on forgetting to get or even try any kind of Total-War-O-Ish game that’s out there, including Total War, I might just download this when I get home. If I remember.
Also ninja houses are dead easy to find, but they’re also mysteriously empty when you go inside, maybe it’s the economy or they have very long lunch breaks?
report
If the house didn’t appear empty, they wouldn’t be very good ninjas, now would they?
report
Hopefully there’ll be an option to board up the windows and doors on the Ninja Houses. That’ll defeat their nefarious schemes.

Is the ninja you can’t see, the one that will kill you.

Hah, way to sneak the Final Fantasy 6 reference in there, Gillen! :)

Ninjas is not a word.

THE PLURAL OF NINJA IS NINJA!
One ninja, many ninja!
report
In the spirit of open-mindedness I would like to point out that PC ninja houses look like that. DS ninja houses look like this.

You’re not the boss o’me! I can spell mooses and sheepses however I want.
Oh wait, you’re talking to Gillen.

“Ninjas” is funnier.
