Tecmo Koei has just released a fresh video that focuses on the upcoming Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus hack and slash game, that’s scheduled to arrive for the PlayStation Vita this year.

The Ninja Gaiden series is getting ready to debut its third major installment, Ninja Gaiden 3, in March on the PS3 and Xbox 360. In the meantime, developer Team Ninja is also set to deploy Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus for the PlayStation Vita handheld console.

After seeing a few screenshots late last year, the developer, together with the game’s publisher, Tecmo Koei, has just presented a special video that shows off the main features of the new game, from its intense combat to the Ninpo commands that are now controlled through the Vita’s touchscreen.

While the narration is in Japanese, most Ninja Gaiden fans will certainly be thrilled just to see the game in action, so check out the video above.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus is set to appear for the Vita later this year.
