Electronic Arts (EA) has joined hands with Nunchuck Games Inc. to co-publish the exciting action part game called “Ninja Reflex” for Nintendo’s Wii and DS gaming platforms.

In Ninja Reflex, a series of martial arts challenges are employed to test the reflexes of gamers also measure their reaction times with millisecond precision. As players develop their ninja proficiency, they will aim towards earning a black belt from their own personal Sensei (a Japanese title used to refer to or address teachers, professionals including lawyers and doctors, politicians, clergymen, and other authority figures). In addition, players can also battle it out for ninja supremacy against their friends in severe multiplayer battles with up to four players.

“Ninja Reflex channels the accessible multiplayer fun of Wii Sports and the self-improvement aspect of Brain Age into a martial arts universe that is ideally suited for the Wii and Nintendo DS,” said David Luntz, President and CEO of Nunchuck Games. Adding, “Nunchuck Games is thrilled to team up with EA Partners to bring Ninja Reflex to gamers everywhere.”

“Ninja Reflex trains players to be better gamers by sharpening their speed and skill, and is exactly the kind of unique concept and creative design that EAP helps bring to market on a global stage,” maintained David DeMartini, Vice President and General Manager of EA Partners. “EA Partners brings the same publishing resources to bear for up-and-coming partners like Nunchuck Games as it does for legendary teams like Valve and Harmonix, helping foster the independent game development community by giving studios of all sizes a chance to publish their games around the world.”

The Ninja Reflex title will be available in March 2008 for the DS and Wii. Developed by Sanzaru games, the game will be co-published in North America and Europe by EA Partners (EAP) and Nunchuck Games.
