Highly anticipated DS title, Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, will commence shipping across USA on March 25th but without even lifting a finger, it's already managed to go gold based on pre-orders, Tecmo announced today. This marks the first time the franchise will make an appearance on a handheld system despite selling in excess of over 2 million copies worldwide on other consoles. In the game, you assume the role of Master Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, as you battle evil doers while trying to reveal the hidden mysteries of Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword. The game will be played as if you're holding a book ala Hotel Dusk ans the stylus will be used to control all the moves with your sword at your disposal. As usual, no exact release date for Australia yet.
